Living in an equal opportunity society as before the early years, may not be so equally viewed by others. As humans, one is not able to determine how he or she is born.

Moreover, to protect the disable, the American Disability Act (ADA) of 1990 was passed by Congress to try eliminating discrimination. The ADA’s primary objective is to protect discrimination against a person with mental or physical disabilities in the private sector in areas such as employment, telecommunication, transportation and public services.
