Question

Help!!!! i will fan and medal

Answer 1

Use the following information to answer the question:

The Americans with Disabilities Act claims that “The continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice denies people with disabilities the opportunity to compete on an equal basis.”

Why do the authors include Part 4 in this section? How is Part 4 related to the claim?


(a) Findings. The Congress finds that

(1) some 43,000,000 Americans have one or more physical or mental disabilities, and this number is increasing.

(2) historically, society has tended to isolate and segregate individuals with disabilities, and, despite some improvements, such forms of discrimination against individuals with disabilities continue to be a serious and pervasive social problem.

(3) discrimination against individuals with disabilities persists in such critical areas as employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation, communication, recreation, institutionalization, health services, voting, and access to public services.

(4) Census data, national polls, and other studies have documented that people with disabilities, as a group, occupy an inferior status in our society, and are severely disadvantaged socially, vocationally, economically, and educationally.

(5) the continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice denies people with disabilities the opportunity to compete on an equal basis.

Answer 2

The same question is posted on open study, and many people thought that the answer to it was answer choice #2. I agree, that one makes a lot of sense. In our world today, we tend to isolate our selves from people that we do not think are good enough because they are different. Hope this helps! Feel free to medal and fan me! @jboy_52

Answer 3

lol it did help but its not the right question the question is asking why she put in part four and how its related to the claim

Answer 4

Well, the claim is, “The continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice denies people with disabilities the opportunity to compete on an equal basis.”
Answer Choice #4 states, "Census data, national polls, and other studies have documented that people with disabilities, as a group, occupy an inferior status in our society, and are severely disadvantaged socially, vocationally, economically, and educationally."

Why did the author place it in the article? Because she was explaining and proving her reasoning that people tend to isolate each other, and are unfair to one another because of differences. People with a disability usually have a disadvantage, this is unfair.

Was that answer a little better? Let me know if you still need help, I can try to explain it better.
