Inquiry #3: Examined Life

This interview was very compelling. At first I thought that I would not necessarily be able to relate to what I was reading, but I was initally mistaken. Commonly, I do not think of myself as being dependent on others. I work for what I have and I pay my own bills an have found myslef saying that I am 'self-sufficient' on a regular basis.
After reading this, my thinking is somewhat skewed from the truth. I DO depend ob others whether I have realized it or not; society as a whole depend on others all the time, regardless if we vocalize those so called needs.
There were a few parts of the interview that stuck out to me. The first was in the beginning--where Sunny talks about how she goes for walks; how her definition of 'going for a walk' was the same as mine, even though, technically, she is not walking. Some people see this as an example of a disabled person as a hinderance to society, that they are something that we have to deal with; this way of thinking is completely wrong obviously, the way they go about doing things is just different from the majority. The way they tend to their lives is different from the ordinary for its just not 'socially normal'. My favorite part was this when Butler says, "Nobody takes a walk without there being a technique of walking. Nobody goes for a walk without something that supports the walk, something outside of ourselves"....
This is so true. Why should our thinking be any different? An what constitutes a 'disabled person'? When in actuality they are not really disabled, they just do things differently, in a way that society of the majority of the population has plagued as 'inappropriate',
With regards to 'social justice', this way of thinking should be neglected. We need not think of human value based on terms of productivity but in terms of quality!
