Avoiding Offence

Topic III. Illnesses and Disability

Another sensitive topic is discussing illnesses and disability. Some people object to phrases like AIDS sufferer, mental patients or the handicapped because they seem to emphasize the illness or disability, rather than the person. When referring to people who are ill or disabled, try to use expressions that emphasize the person:

■ a person living with AIDS

■ a hospital for people who are mentally ill

■ flats for people who are disabled

■ programmes for people with disabilities

■ people who are learning disabled or have learning difficulties or have special needs

■ people who are visually impaired

■ people who are hearing-impaired

When someone has died, people usually avoid mentioning death directly when they speak to a family or friends of that person. They often say pass away or pass on instead of die, or they use indirect expressions such as I am sorry for your loss or I was sorry to hear about your father/mother.

The compounds mental home or mental hospital nowadays are old-fashioned and are no longer considered polite. The word that is recommended to use is a psychiatric [ˌsaɪkɪˈætrɪk] hospital.

68. Paraphrase the sentences trying to use the expressions which can help to avoid offending people.

1. Unfortunately her son is mentally handicapped.

2. I know that your mother-in-law is dying of cancer.

3. A motorcycling accident has left Jane handicapped.

4. The handicapped often live in special homes.

5. Someone who is handicapped has a permanent injury, illness or other problem that makes them unable to use their body or mind normally.

6. James Brown is a young man of 26 who has been an AIDS sufferer for several years now.

7. I can’t understand why they keep Uncle Philip in a mental hospital.

8. Mental homes are establishments for the mentally handicapped people.
