Abstract

<p>This study evaluated whether the persons with disabilities accepted the Independent Living Philosophy in the context of the introduction of the Independent Living Philosophy. The results are as follows: (1) Young generation with disabilities started a newspaper to voice their opinion to solve the disability issues, (2) Young people with disabilities encountered the Philosophy of Independent Living, as they were challenged by problems such as nonhuman treatment at the residence facilities of people with disabilities, and restrictions on job and participation in the society, (3) At first, the Independent Living Philosophy was introduced as an overseas program by researchers. However, since then it has been introduced by disabled parties both at home and abroad as a revolutionary philosophy that respects self-determination of persons with disabilities. This difference from conventional disability protection and discrimination increased the possibility of introduction in Korea.</p>
