Paper Summary:
This paper is an intellectual and personal reaction to two scholarly articles that address the pernicious effects - and undeniable challenges - of stigmatization brought about by a particular physical ailment or shortcoming. In particular, the paper looks at Gaylene Becker's article, "Coping with Stigma: Lifelong Adaptation of Deaf People" as well as at Marcia C. Inhorn's "Genital Herpes: An Ethnographic Inquiry into Being Discreditable in American Society". In so doing, what should become apparent is that health complications and physical disabilities are almost always made worse by the judgmental and unreceptive attitudes of others. To begin with, this writer is the first to admit that she has always focused upon the physical aspects of health maladies without paying great attention to the social dimensions of disease or illness.More papers on Medical Anthropology:
