Six words: two about Lebanon, two about disability and two about us all

摘要

This article reproduces partially one of the lectures I delivered at the Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth in October 2017. The main focus is disability itself and the tact that no one is immune to it. Whatever the social circumstances, one must always try to assure the disabled person the right to live, as well as to live with others. Likewise, it should not be forgotten that the sociological categories of “us” and “them” can change position in the twinkling of an eye.
