Born in Germany in 1899, Ludwig Guttmann was always interested in medicine. In his teens he
worked as a volunteer in a hospital for injured miners. One of his first patients was a man who had a
spinal cord injury. The doctors didn’t have much time for him and the man soon died. Ludwig
remembered him for the rest of his life. He graduated from medical school and became a doctor when
he was 25 years old.
Guttmann enjoyed a successful career for the next few years. Because Guttmann and his family were
Jews, life in Germany was becoming very difficult for them. In 1938 he decided to move to the UK
with his family.
In the UK, Guttmann became the director of the Stoke Mandeville Hospital and continued his research
into the best way to treat people with spinal cord injuries. He wasn’t only interested in treating patients;
he was also interested in how to rehabilitate them - to help them have a normal, useful life again.
The Second World War was going on and there were a lot of soldiers injured in the fighting. Often they
had lost the use of their legs and they needed treatment and help. At that time people thought that if
someone was disabled, they couldn’t really live a normal, useful life. One of the results was that
disabled soldiers were often depressed and angry. Guttmann used his new methods to treat these men.
He looked after their injuries but he also tried to give them emotional strength. He wanted to
rehabilitate his patients.
He began to use sport as a therapy to help his patients. He wanted to give them back their self-respect
and dignity and he encouraged his patients to take part in sports.
In 1948 the hospital held a sporting event called ‘The International Wheelchair Games’. By 1952 the
event began to get bigger with disabled athletes from other countries attending. By 1960 the games were
called the International Stoke Mandeville Games and they were held in Rome alongside the official
Summer Olympics. The next two events, in 1964 in Tokyo and 1968 in Tel Aviv, Israel were even
bigger. By this time there were 750 athletes from 29 different countries. Guttmann himself died in
1980, even before the games were called ‘Paralympics’, but there is no doubt that he is the founder and
father of the Paralympic Games.
Today, it is normal for disabled people to take part in sports but during Ludwig Guttmann’s lifetime,
disabled people didn’t have the same chances that they do now. It is thanks to his hard work that we are
all able to enjoy The Paralympics.

Reality Television
Reality television is a genre that presents dramatic or humorous situations without
a script and documents actual events. It frequently portrays a modified and
influenced form of reality, . This is the reason way this genre is often
described as a form of artificial or “intensified” documentary. , it
shows ordinary people rather than professional actors. the genre
has existed since the early years of television, the current explosion of
popularity dates from around 2000. Reality television covers a wide range of
formats, from game or quiz shows to surveillance - or voyeurism- productions
such as Big Brother. Part of reality television’s appeal is because it places
ordinary people in extraordinary situations. , reality television has
the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities such as in Pop Idol,
Survivor and Big Brother.
