Question

Use the following information to answer the question:

Answer 1

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

my response was... The author includes Part 4 to show evidence that people with disabilities are discriminated and are seen as inferior to the superior, the superior is seen as the people that are without disabilities. The claim is that discrimination is still being continued upon people with disabilities and it is causing them to have problems with equality.

Answer 11

The author includes Part 4 to show evidence that people with disabilities are discriminated and are seen as inferior to the superior. The superior is seen as the people that are without disabilities, the claim is that discrimination is still being continued upon people with disabilities and it is causing them to have problems with equality.
