Globalize ADA
Have you ever noticed that Americans with disabilities have so much more benefits than people with disabilities anywhere else? Even a question like that is a little far-fetched. Americans with disabilities do not have the proper accommodations but that is definitely better than having no accommodations at all. People with disabilities in other countries believe it or not, have no accommodations whatsoever. I strongly believe that each country in the world should have their own disability act. I believe this because if everyone around the world were created equal, not just US citizens who are disabled should be accommodated, people who have different values and standards should not be denied the right, and every person should …show more content…
I don’t know about you, but I find that pretty sad! Not to mention that unequal treatment among the disabled community even goes a little further. Women with disabilities are disadvantaged twice as much as the males with disabilities. Females go through exclusion because of both their gender and their disability. Let’s take a look at some more discrimination towards people with disabilities. Violence against disabled children occurs at an annual rate of 1.7 times higher than the rate for children without a disability. Disturbingly, this doesn’t surprise me at all. If disabled children were treated equally, this would not happen. Let’s move on to the financial aspect of it. People who have disabilities have to pay extra expenses to try to receive a standard of living equal to that of a non-disabled person. Now if you think this is treating the disabled people equal, something is seriously wrong. In the UK, the extra cost of disability is 11% to 69% of income. In Australia, the extra cost is 29% to 37% of income. Also, people with disabilities have lower employment rates than the average person. The disabled people who are employed, either work part-time or are in the informal sector. Their wages are less than a normal person’s wages. As you can see, the population of all the disabled people have needs that are …show more content…
When the public makes an attempt to accommodate the disabled, they do not guarantee the accommodations will help the disabled person to achieve their highest potential. What’s the point in even trying then if the disabled community is not benefiting to their highest capacity? Just look at these statistics. The rates of lower educational attainment are significantly higher with disability rates. There are 19% less-educated people with disabilities and 11% well-educated with disabilities. This isn’t because the disabled are not as smart as normal people. 90% of disabled children in foreign countries are not educated and do not go to school. This is because the leaders of their government are too lazy to accommodate these children and think that since they are disabled, they aren’t useful anymore. There are only 100,000 disabled people in India with a job out of the 70 million people who live in India. Often times, employers assume that disabled people are not capable of working. Sometimes though, this isn’t the case. It’s just another one of those false assumptions we were talking about earlier. Fortunately though, thousands of disabled people have been a lot more successful as small business owners and being self-employed than the average people. 12.2 % of people with disabilities have experience
