According to Brisenden, where does the disablement of disabled people…

The correct answer is Option (2) → In the construction of society

Option (1) In the physical condition of the individual — Incorrect. Brisenden rejects this view in so many words. The physical condition is the impairment of the body. In his view it is not where the disablement comes from.

Option (2) In the construction of society — Correct. For Brisenden, the disablement lies in the construction of society. Buildings not designed to admit disabled people shut them out, and this leads to further disablements in education, jobs and social life.

Option (3) In the cultural belief in destiny — Incorrect. Belief in destiny is part of the Indian cultural conception that sees an impaired body as a result of fate. It is an attitude about disability. Brisenden does not place the disablement there.

Option (4) In the self perception of the individual — Incorrect. Linking disability to self perception is a feature of the common public perception. That view keeps the problem inside the individual. Brisenden places it outside the person, in how society is built.
