Introduction
This report will be discussing the social inequalities between disabled and non-disabled
individuals throughout society.
Social inequality is prevalent throughout society in many different ways. Social inequality is
"the extent to which there are differences between groups in society." (BBC Bitesize, 2021).
Social inequality can be related to differences in incomes, gender, ethnicity, disabilities and
health issues, and age. Inequalities also lie within health care; health inequalities are
differences between people or groups of people that may be considered unfair (HM
Government 2017).
Disability mistreatment is widespread in society and commonly throughout different
establishments. Under the Equality Act 2010, a disability is defined as "a physical or a
mental condition which has a substantial and long-term impact on your ability to do normal
day to day activities." (Government Digital Service, 2011)
Different forms of disabilities include physical disabilities, vision and hearing impairment,
mental health issues, and more.
The main types of mistreatment that individuals living with a disability include; stereotyping,
labelling, discrimination and attitudes, and marginalisation.
Labelling and Stereotyping
Labelling is "applying the stereotypical view of a particular group and ignoring individual
differences." (Billingham et al. 2016), and stereotyping is when someone groups multiple
characteristics associated with a particular group to every member of that group; this
involves discounting individual characteristics that someone may have (L. Rosenthal,
science direct, 2016).
Labelling and stereotyping are widely seen in society, especially for people who have a
disability and or mental health problems. This can present itself in many ways; for example,
people may view or associate people with mental ill-health as being violent or dangerous
when, in fact, this is the complete opposite. According to The Mental Health Foundation,
people living with mental health conditions are more at risk of being attacked or harming
themselves than harming other people. This is backed up by an article in The Lancet, which
states, "People with mental illness are much more often the victims of violence rather than
the perpetrators." It then says that some people with certain disorders can be violent, but
they rarely are (Thornicroft, 2020).
The stigma, stereotypes and labelling that occurs within mental health and disabilities can be
changed and extinguished through education; campaigns can spread awareness that people
living with mental health conditions are not likely to be violent and are usually the victims of
violence. This needs to change as it is incredibly damaging to them and can further decline
their mental health.
