| 2002 | Courage in a brave new world: A disability perspective Modern Western societies such as Australia highly value intelligence, independence, youth, physical beauty and agility, material wealth and enjoyment from physical pursuits such as travel, sex and sports. Self-determined, rational individual choices are supposed to deliver to us the best of what's on offer.
