Abstract

 
The study also sought to monitor the differences in the level of self-esteem according to the variables of gender, place of residence, and type of disability, and the current study relied on the descriptive approach; through a field study, the two researchers prepared its tools, which consisted of a survey sheet that contained three axes; including the reasons and motives for watching special needs dramas, the most self-esteem can be of three dimensions: (Psychological dimension, family dimension, social dimension), and the tool was applied to a sample of people with special needs from disability categories (physical - auditory - visual), which amounted to 200 individuals, male and female, and the study reached a set of results, the most important of which:
- One of the most important images that the artworks were interested in monitoring in terms of addressing and treating from the point of view of people with special needs (the disabled is a victim of bullying and injustice) by 62.5%; this is what the drama has already drawn; as it focused on society's ridicule of the disabled and underestimating his social status, and his inability to stand out like ordinary individuals; and this translates what has been analyzed inside each of the following artworks: (Kit Kat - the Mediterranean man - Noor Ayni-turbini), these dramas were keen to show that these categories are ridicule and injustice of society.
- The study sample of people with special needs answered that these artistic and dramatic works do not improve their situation and do not raise their suffering; they answered (No) by 84%, while the last ranking came (yes) by 16%, and this confirms their opinion that these works paint a decorative picture of them, and that these works do not represent their actual and societal reality.
