Disabilities
As one of the most special groups in the society, disabled people’s living conditions—not only their material conditions, but their mental world as well, really need more help and improvement. In our China, disabled people take up 5% of the whole population, and their problems will surely cause social problems.
Fortunately, our government does well in helping and supporting disabled people. They offer jobs for them, give them training and teach the whole society not to disCRIminate but give them more care. Chairman Deng of China Disabled People Association recently received a Nobel Prize for Peace, which is a good evidence for government’s effort.
But it seems that the society does not quite agree with our government—at least the majority people don’t. They don’t disCRIminate them but don’t think them to have enough ability to do things, either. They even sometimes help disabled people when they are in the mood. But the emotion in their act is not the love between equal people but the sympathy from upper people to lower people. Though they heard about Helen Keller and Stephen Hawking, they still thought they were superior to disabled people in all aspects. So if the government can change these people’s mind, the living conditions of disabled people will be greatly improved, for some jobs, such as engineers, lawyers, etc. which need more movement in mentality rather than physiology can be given to disabled people who are capable of doing that job.
But unfair treatment isn’t the only problem disabled people are facing. Some disabled people who live in countryside or mountain districts have worse living conditions and need more help. Some workers who became disabled when working can’t get proper treatment or compensation, especially in the building field. It’s becoming a really good social problem. And also, some other problems may influence disabled people’s lives.
Solving these problems needs efforts—not only the government’s, also ours. As a song sings, “If everyone of us gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful wonderland!”
