Is enough being done to integrate “people with disabilities” into society?
Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, all those involved have made strides over the years, in integrating people with disabilities into society. Now let me explain the details.
First, in many developed countries, laws and regulations are now put in place to help social activities of people with disabilities. In Japan, for example, major public buildings, transportation systems, and business facilities must have assistive technology listed, to make them more accessible to people with disabilities. In addition, many companies are working to prevail “working from home.”
Next, I understand some may argue that challenges remain, such as promoting employment support. However, the public understands that the authorities are trying their best, and actively accept people with disabilities. It is because, without them as a workforce, Japan’s economy could stagnate, resulting in lower tax revenues and potential collapse of social systems in turn.
Therefore, even though there is still room for improvement, I conclude that our society is making its best effort to integrate people with disabilities into society. Thank you for your attention. [186 Words Type-E]
