Other Research -- Acceptance of Imperfection

Abstract

Because the "ideal human"concept is culturally and socially bound, then there can be no universal agreement on what constitutes perfection. Thus, the concept of perfection is subjective. Further, no one individual can be perfect because humans are multidimensional and thus will always be surpassed by others on different qualities that the individual lacks. The relevance of acceptance of imperfection to disability studies is explored.
