Disabilities in America
The disabilities in America is a major issue that took an interest to me as I have lived with a loved one who has a disability and life isn’t so easy for her. I questioned many points in these articles talking about disabilities like; what cities provided the best services for disabled people? Who struggled with disabled the most? Will any services be provided for the family and not just the disabled person?
Due to the research the disabilities in America are rising as throughout the years, disabilities in the American population had increased and since the (1.) year 2000 indicate that 20.9 million families (28.9% of all American families) had at least one member with a disability (Wang 2005). The data also indicate
that 12.8% of families with disabled members are living in poverty; the corresponding rate for families without members with a disability is only 7.7%.
The disability rates in America are rising and there is no solution towards the discrimination, poverty and inequality to these people. As I lived with a disabled person for all of my life, I’m aware of the problems that disabled people face daily. Living big town, we many dangerous people can be hard to handle and watch out for. However living in the city of San Francisco they provided very good services such as free public transportation, education till the age of 22 and a caretaker that is professional and paid for. There are good services located in cities but some communities don’t have that access to those services.
In alternative cities there's very little or no public transportation accessible to you. If you're in a chair, there are few curb cuts or ramps in local business and public buildings. If you are blind, no one uses braille. If you are deaf, there aren't any interpreters. Maybe your native faculty representatives say that the school cannot accommodate students who have disabilities. In other words, you are segregated by the surroundings.
These sort of problems should not be dealt with alone but with a group because it needs to be view as a community deserving the attention and taking action of each other. There is additionally support in numbers. Group members support one another, while "going it alone" may be horrifying. In addition, solutions to the difficult issues facing disabled people require problem solvers with varied levels of skills, data, and contacts. Only a bunch will offer all that's needed.
