Consider how “handicap” is a negative word. How does this change our perception if instead we used the words “differently abled”
Gennadij [26K]
People are sensitive. Common words that are used to describe people have suddenly been given a new, underlying meaning of 'you are lesser'. Oftentimes it's not the word itself, but the tone in which it's said. Take 'minor' for example. A minor would perceive that label as offensive if you said it to debunk his/her argument. A minor would engage in a conversation of being unable to drive with the reasoning - "I'm not old enough yet." You could see words as positive or negative only when someone comes along and uses it. Fat used to be adjective, but somehow in today's day and age - or when you got older - it's now a dirty word.

So when you say someone is handicapped, according to today's logic, you're telling them they're imperfect. And that's a bad thing.

Based on the short story Harrison Bergeron Do you think people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Yes, I believe it could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Explanation:

Self-fulfilling prophecy is a result of the Pygmalion effect. According to this theory, we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. If people believe we will succeed, for example, we too begin to believe we will succeed. For that reason, we change our behavior, aligning it with the belief, making a self-fulfilling prophecy out of it.

In the short story "Harrison Bergeron", Harrison is a fourteen-year-old who is considered to be above average in a world that does not allow people to be anything but average. Intelligent and/or beautiful people are forced by the government to wear handicappers, so that others won't feel offended or humiliated. Treating Harrison like that - forcing him to wear loads of handicappers - convinces him that he is superior, that he is special, that he deserves to show how wonderful he is to the world. People's expectations of Harrison create a self-fulfilling prophecy. He will now inevitably act as if he were really as handsome and intelligent as others claim him to be.

Harrison appears on TV after escaping from where he was kept. He removes his handicappers and dances with a ballerina, until they are both shot and killed. If Harrison were truly superior, truly exceedingly intelligent, he would have known better than to do that. His actions were not the result of his real intelligence, but of his being treated as being more intelligent than others.
