Discrimination has become a fact of life for many people with disabilities. The people who discriminate against others, don't understand other person's feelings.

They don't think if they will be put in their place, what will happen to them? No one truly understands what discrimination is, until they’re on the receiving end of things. Discrimination may even be their reality for upcoming several years.
However, if each and every discrimination is treated as a learning opportunity, then it is the way to true success.
Actually they are not disabled but are able with different abilities. Just because someone looks different doesn't mean you need to make them feel bad. Just think if we will be disabled and the behavior which we were doing with the disabled people will happen with us also . How would we feel? So always think that you can be also there on place of the disabled and physically challenged people.

The condition of disabled people in India is not very bad. But, many people of the society doesn't respect disabled persons. Many people of the society refuse to respect them. Due to this, the Government Of India has launched various campaigns like Accessible India Campaign, Development4All, Sugamaya Pustakalaya, Skill India, etc. A survey by "Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities" says that only 36 per cent of the disabled population in India is employed, and those who are severely disabled or unable to work become dependent on their families. But, we should respect every person because "It is the duty of humanity to help humanity".

The most common thing of Native American tribes is their ability to embrace their differences through their disabilities. But there were cases when they couldn't.
Native American disabilities aren't common, but usually this is what would happen to some one back in that time.
Native Americans had a common thing of not really embracing there differences while disabled. They would feel useless and miserable. They would feel self conscious as if being not helpful would not be a good quality in there village. But the village embraced there differences by treating them in the way they would treat others.
In other cultures, people with disabilities would get bullied and feel worthless.

Disability is a type of physical or mental condition which limits a person’s activities, movements, and senses.
In Afghanistan, there are still not complete resources to help disabled people. But, efforts can be made to help them by other people by spreading awareness. In this world we have a lot of people who are disabled. The physical and mental disability is not bad and it is treatable and such people even work more than healthy people. Our duty regarding such people is help them and don’t let them think their disability makes them different from others.
But the people whose thoughts are disabled that they cannot do anything, always lose in their lives because positivity is very important.
