Rapidly becoming a bigger problem, the blind are feeling that they are not being treated equally especially when it comes to being on public transport. The blind believe that they should be treated not only like a regular person but also must feel safe and comfortable while riding public transport and not feel like they are going to be treated differently because of their disability. People complain that females and certain races aren't treated equal but you never hear about the disabled.Their Voices are never heard from a global perspective. Many things must be changed to give them what they deserve. All public transport must have the blue seats installed to have that vehicle in use. Also blind people should be allowed to sit anywhere they choose on planes. Finally, more disabled public

The city of Toronto says that all busses will eventually have these seats, but it will take over two years to have them installed (Toronto Transit Comission). What many people don't realize is that this is too long. There is already an uprising problem in the city when it comes to the disabled and spanning this over the next two years could just make it worse. Also another problem arises with these blue seat though. Giving up these seats is not a mandatory action. Not only does the bus drivers not take the initiative to get these selfish people to move, the city of Toronto states that the bus driver should not get involved with any of the riders when a problem like this occurs(Toronto Transit Comission). I couldn't agree more with the fact that anyone should have the privilege of sitting on these seats, but I also think that it should be mandatory to give them up. This “first come first serve rule” should not be active. Just like on airplanes, while boarding it's not first come first serve. It's the disabled first. They need more care getting on the plane then

    The handicaps are completely unnecessary for the citizens. The concept of equality is understood, but dragging everyone down to one basic level is not equality. It is unfair to those who have tried to become something more, and they aren’t allowed because they are “too smart” or “too dumb” and they have to do as the government tells them to. The government controls a large portion of the citizens capabilities, because the Handicapper General is in charge of how to handicap everyones beauty or strength or even mental capacity. A world in which everyone is dragged down is wrong and it should not be done.…

When an onychectomy, otherwise known as a declaw, is performed it is equal to cutting off your finger at the first knuckle. The bone of the third phalanx is removed, it is not just cutting the nail off. Cat's nails retract, by cutting into these muscles and tendons you risk serious long-term physical and emotional impacts. 61 of 163 cats experienced chronic pain for 1-42 days after the surgery ("American Veterinary Medical Association", 2016).…

    Despite the new outburst of year-round schooling across the nation, I have the firm belief that we should retain the traditional system. Most schools who have switched to the year round calendar switched back to the traditional one because the anticipated instructional advantages haven’t materialized. In some cases, it even results in a drop of one to two percentile points in national rank for reading, math, and language scores, compared to a traditional calendar. It is not a good idea to keep making this change.…

    Keith Jones, another individual with disabilities would go on to share a very interesting viewpoint of the education system. As an African-American, Keith described many of the unique situations he went through in his life related to his disability. This brought to light another issue where individuals with disabilities are often discriminated against by not only their disability, but also through other areas easily targeted by prejudice. Keith’s story did indeed raise another even deeper question for the audience, how do we provide an equal and positive educational experience for those with disabilities while also keeping in mind many of the already present prejudices within the world we live in? Is there a way we can help dispel many of these already horrific prejudices while also providing the best educational experience for everyone?…

    Throughout many years of history, those with disabilities were not always treated fairly or given equal opportunity. Activists around the world have worked together to achieve goals such as increased access to all types of transportation and a safer day to day environment. Equal opportunities in employment and education have been a big part of their efforts too. For many years, children with disabilities were many times segregated and not given an equal opportunity for a chance to learn and succeed in school. A disability should not limit a person’s choice to improve themselves and their intellectual capabilities.…

    Mental health is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Lives have been lost through improper treatment of unstable individuals time and time again through mass shootings and other tragedies. Guns are often blamed as the culprit for these attacks but I disagree. While stronger gun control could help lessen the effects of mass shootings, it's not solving the common problem these shootings have in common with each other, the shooter is almost always a mentally unstable person. Banning the weapon a person uses won't make as much of a difference because if the person is unwell, they will just use other means to accomplish their goals.…
