From what I learnt in a media lesson about the representations of disability in the media is presented in 10 different ways. Paul Hunt, in his 1991 study recognized that the media portrayed disabled people in the following 10 ways:
1. 1. The disabled person as pitiable or pathetic
2. 2. An object of curiosity or violence
3. 3. Sinister or evil
4. 4. The super cripple
5. 5. as atmosphere
6. 6. Laughable
7. 7. His/her own worst enemy
8. 8. as a burden
9. 9. as Non-sexual
10. 10. as being unable to participate in daily life
