A Trinitarian Model as an Alternative Approach to Disability

Abstract

This study's goal is to explore alternative models for disability. Disability approach: charity, medical, social, rights-based, and cultural, there has been a tendency to bring disability into negative and stigmatized categories. The disability "model" approach, which initially acted as a means of liberation, actually isolates disability in the category of weak, sick, not potentially disenfranchised, and therefore worthy of identity as sinners. Disability as a social construct is the fruit of the strong hegemony of eugenics that upholds normality. The postcolonial approach aided resistance to colonialism and colonialist ideologies that emerged in new forms. The ideological dominance of normalcy places disability over abnormal, domination, and marginalization of disability. The normality point of view on abnormalities and non-disability on disability shows a negative relationship between the two human entities. For this reason, an alternative model is needed, a relationship whose existence is precisely affirmed by others. He does not exist without the other. I exist because you exist. This relation is only possible if it reflects a trinitarian relation. Trinity relationship: God, Son, and Holy Spirit are the basis of disability relations. Be a trinity relationship, an alternative model to disability.
