V članku obravnavamo nacionalne stereotipe, ki jih najdemo v angleških in slovenskih izlastnoimenskih frazemih z etnonimi ali njihovimi izpeljankami. Naš namen je pojasniti razloge, zakaj so se v ...angleščini oz. slovenščini v določenem časovnem obdobju pojavili stereotipni pogledi na druge narode. Na podlagi konkretnih primerov frazemov razlagamo njihovo (pretežno negativno) konotacijo. Ugotavljamo, da so angleški frazemi z etnonimi posledica zgodovinskih odnosov Angležev z drugimi (večinoma) evropskimi narodi, ki so jih imeli Angleži za sovražnike ali tekmece, slovenski frazemi z etnonimi pa so lahko rezultat prevzemanja izraza kot takega iz nemščine ali pa odraz stereotipnih predstav Slovencev o drugih narodih in ne odraz rivalstva med Slovenci in drugimi narodi.
Študenti s posebnimi potrebami so pomembna manjšinska skupina znotraj študentske populacije, ki jo pogosto spremljajo negativna stališča in predsodki. Ti se neposredno ali posredno kažejo v odnosu ...visokošolskih institucij in njihovih zaposlenih do študentov s posebnimi potrebami. Odnos in posledično vedenje močno vplivata na to, ali bo izkušnja študentov s posebnimi potrebami v visokem šolstvu pozitivna ali negativna, zato je poznavanje stališč in predsodkov ključnega pomena za ustvarjanje celostne slike o študentih s posebnimi potrebami. V prispevku se zato podrobneje ukvarjamo s stališči in predsodki o študentih s posebnimi potrebami, pri čemer se sprašujemo, kakšna so, kako se kažejo, zakaj so pogosto negativna ter katere dejavnike velja upoštevati pri njihovem spreminjanju.
James Charlton has produced a ringing indictment of disability oppression, which, he says, is rooted in degradation, dependency, and powerlessness and is experienced in some form by five hundred ...million persons throughout the world who have physical, sensory, cognitive, or developmental disabilities. Nothing About Us Without Us is the first book in the literature on disability to provide a theoretical overview of disability oppression that shows its similarities to, and differences from, racism, sexism, and colonialism. Charlton's analysis is illuminated by interviews he conducted over a ten-year period with disability rights activists throughout the Third World, Europe, and the United States. Charlton finds an antidote for dependency and powerlessness in the resistance to disability oppression that is emerging worldwide. His interviews contain striking stories of self-reliance and empowerment evoking the new consciousness of disability rights activists. As a latecomer among the world's liberation movements, the disability rights movement will gain visibility and momentum from Charlton's elucidation of its history and its political philosophy of self-determination, which is captured in the title of his book. Nothing About Us Without Us expresses the conviction of people with disabilities that they know what is best for them. Charlton's combination of personal involvement and theoretical awareness assures greater understanding of the disability rights movement.
