People with disabilities have physical or mental impairments that prevent them from normally performing one or more major life functions. When a person with a disability, or suspected of being disabled, is therefore treated worse than others, or excluded from opportunities enjoyed by most others, that person is a victim of disability discrimination. People tend to target them to get them to leave or do something they can do due to a lack of understanding of disability. But just as often, disability discrimination is the result of a lack of thought. Practices based on the presumption that only normal people will participate can have a negative, and therefore discriminatory, impact on people with abnormal bodies or minds. However, the fact that a practice is discriminatory does not mean for everyone that it is bad. There are individuals who proclaim the right to freedom of choice of their associates, which they understand as the right to treat some people worse than others and to remain socially distant from them, on the basis of gender, race, religion or nationality. origin, or because people are disabled. The question this argument raises is whether the harm caused by disability discrimination (and also race, gender, and other types of discrimination) resembles the harm suffered by an unpopular person deprived of invitations to dancing, playing or joining the group for lunch, or whether the harm is of a deeper nature that calls for moral consideration. That the harm caused by disability discrimination rises to the level of injustice was not a common idea in the past, nor does it command universal agreement today.Find the source.The newspaper source was acquired via ...... middle of paper ......l55892&it=r&p=GVRL&sw=w&asid=df4916debe3bae808943391d7879903a[4]Bush, George W.
