Disability And Social Equality: The Centrality Of Independent Living

Diversity: Equality
One major thing everyone of a minority wants in this world is equality, but their idea of equality is not the same as some other people’s. Most people of a minority want equality in the means of being treated the same as someone from a majority, others think of equality in the sense of everything about a person being the exact same as everyone else. Equality should not be based on everyone being the same in every way possible but instead it should be established where everyone is being treated the same, like said in “Disability and Social Equality: The Centrality of Independent Living” when Sandra Carpenter states “whether limitation and disability becomes a source of inequality depends not on the disability, but the extent
