  • Essay / Disability Inequalities - 867

    “Attacking disabled people is the lowest show of power I can think of” - (Morgan Freeman). These are people in life who deal with things that they don't particularly have a choice in whether or not they want to deal with. These people are considered disabled and struggle with a physical or mental impairment that affects their entire life. These people are treated as if they are not the same and excluded from society, all because they are a little different from most people. People with severe physical disabilities are like everyone else and should have the same opportunities and financial assistance that everyone else should receive. Some people think that helping people with disabilities is an inconvenience and a waste of their money. People don't care what happens in the world, if it's not in their family, it's not their problem. These people will walk the earth as if they own the place, treating people the way they want to treat them. “It amazes me how people can go through life with such a bad attitude. Life is what you make it, so smile and relax” (Hamilton).

Simply by not taking action to help, they are allowing more people to think that it is okay not to help. Unrest has been affecting the world for as long as Earth has been populated.

Among single-parent families with a disabled child, 20 percent had reduced their work hours and about 16 percent stopped working overall to care for their child (files.eric.ed.gov). People with severe physical disabilities have the opportunity to obtain financial assistance. they need, they also have the same opportunities as most people and they are treated well, you just need to find the right people. Physical disabilities affect the world and will continue to affect the earth. If everyone on earth helped solve these problems, the world would be an efficient world, working together for the greater good of society. If everyone united, physical disabilities could be overcome. Disability is just a word that indicates a change has occurred in their body and means nothing else..
