In order for a theory to be dynamic and to remain useful, it must speak to other philosophies that operate with similar goals, so that it might translate its theory into practical policy. During the exercise of International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA) where people’s lives are frequently at stake, and of disability rehabilitation where issues such as livelihoods, empowerment and development are being addressed, it is extremely important that the grand ideas advocated by theories are fully utilized by practitioners. Though the two philosophies of IHA and the Social Model of Disability come from quite diverse and disparate viewpoints, with IHA primarily working amid humanitarian emergencies in developing countries and the social model of disability examining the relations between individuals with disabilities and their societies, their language reveals that they converge on many issues. By analysing the discourses of both IHA and the social model of disability, important paradigms and paradoxes on both the theoretical and practical levels are uncovered. In this way each theory, each model, and each ideology can be refined and in turn, it can better the circumstances of the people who exist in the real-world situations the theories seek to inform.
