“…Better explaining, since Brazil's infrastructure is not well developed mainly due to the economical and classy issue (already pointed), but also due to the indifference given to this minority, it can be observed a deep gap between nonhandicapped people and people with any sort of disability, who suffer daily difficulties (Cunha, 2021).…”

The research that originated this article started from the premise according to which there are affirmative actions in the general society, that is, public measures applied in order to reduce the inequality affecting the so-called minorities, which regards the egalitarian ideology. Despite this presupposition and these generalized public measures, worldwide created, there is also a meritocratic discourse that diminishes the necessity of the affirmative actions, preaching that if there are certain persons that belonged to minority groups that could surpass their difficulties, does not remain any justification for the affirmative actions, because supposedly the respective same efforts could be taken by all minorities' members. Better explaining, it was intended to comprehend if the speech of resilience taken by the most successful part of individuals belonged to minoritarian groups is able to crash the affirmative actions destined to mitigate the typical obstacles and the inequality faced by respective minorities. In other words, it was aimed to answer this question: "do the exceptional cases justify the meritocracy?". Therefore, it was investigated the following points, conceived as fundamentals and as presuppositions to truly understand the described problematic: 1) the concepts of the egalitarian and the meritocratic ideologies; 2) the concept, the social function and the objective of the affirmative actions, including the analysis of some Brazilian examples, regarding specific law provisions; 3) the concept of minority, considering objectively defined criteria. Thus, in a nutshell, it was concluded that exceptional cases risen from minorities do not build an argument strong enough to shatter the affirmative actions, neither to sustain the ultraliberal meritocracy branch. Moreover, it consisted on a research that belongs to the exploratory and to the descriptive natures, also that used the inductive-observatory method, by a bibliographical technical procedure, done through a database collection.

“…From the perspective of the social model, disability does not represent a natural inequality, but rather oppression exerted on the person with some injury. In this sense, the injury represents a body data with no value, while disability is the result of the interaction of a body with injury in a discriminatory society, therefore understood as a matter of rights and social justice (Cunha, 2021). Disability should not, therefore, be the exclusive matter of biomedical knowledge, but mainly of actions at different levels of support, whether political, economic, legal, and social.…”

Disability tends to impact family functioning in different ways. The aim of this study was to investigate the family functioning clusters of people with disabilities, comparing them in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, social support, autonomy, and prejudice. A sociodemographic questionnaire, Family Cohesion and Flexibility Rating Scale, Prejudice Scale and Social Support Satisfaction Scale were used in 205 people. Three clusters were identified: Low, Medium, and High Family Functioning. The low Family Functioning group had the lowest levels of Social Support and highest levels of prejudice; whereas the high Family Functioning group was characterized by higher education, higher Social Support, and lower prejudice. In conclusion, the relevance of understanding disability and its impact on Family Functioning is highlighted from a broader viewpoint, which relates it to psychosocial variables (prejudice, Social Support and schooling), beyond the issue of the injury itself.
