The basic questions were what are the beliefs and values of PWOD? What are the beliefs of PWOD? What are the barriers and the facilitators of the socioeconomic activities of PWDs? The method that this research used is a qualitative method and the approach was exploratory. It is analyzed by using thematic analysis. The research found that there are positive and negative beliefs in the society. The values that it studies exist but are not practical. It was verified through the interviews. The positive beliefs that it found capabilities in education, social life, societal contribution, and wealth accumulation. The negative beliefs are the way society sees and treats people with disabilities with sympathy and marital issues in inter-ability marriages. Society believes that people with disability have less possibility to marry a person without disability. The four values that this study wanted to investigate were the value of dignity, the value of compassion, the value of justice, and the value of humility. It was found that these values were impractical but theoretically exist in people's minds. That was found in the interview answers. However, compassion exists in a more practical way than the other values. But it is not real compassion and it comes from sympathy for people with disabilities. Nevertheless, there are people with disabilities who are successful in every aspect of life | |
