6. Why myths come up Out of the unknown?
•Humans are innately wary of those who are
different, and to feel that anxiety is vulnerable-
making. Rather than acknowledge our own
anxiety, most of us would rather ignore or deny
our response, or go even further and
marginalize, blame and persecute those we feel
to be the source of our ill feeling.

barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in
society on an equal basis with others."
The United Nations states, "Everyone is likely to experience

illness, accident, or aging."
