Week10

This reading reminded me of when I was getting my first glasses. I was well aware that even thou I need glasses to see things clearly. They are gonna be much more than that. They will become an integral part of my outlook. Which directly aligns with the authors idea of eyewear being a from of expression and how they overlap in terms of fashion and disability. Glasses in specific have a far greater effect of ones well being. but then thinking about it in a way that such a self expression can become mandatory. It is a scary idea. because then it is something that cages the freedom of self expression. The second aspect of the reading was hiding disability. It is indeed a psychological take that hiding something extra to give a sense that its not there. It reminds me of a saying that “The more you try to fill a shoe that is not yours , the emptier the look” What is intended to be a assistance can backfire in worse way. A solution can create a problem that is far more problematic then the original problem.
