I strongly believe that disabled people do not get the recognition they deserve. For starters, statistics show that 3.40 billion people have watched the Olympic games, while 1 billion had watched the Paralympic games. People argued that there was neither promotion nor advertisings for the Paralympic games. Quite frankly, they were not wrong, sadly enough the Paralympic games does not get much recognition, they also show the games on lesser channels. Furthermore, they do not get treated fairly. Its been shown on cameras that disabled people get abused by doctors, nurses, psychologist, and even pedestrians. They get discriminated, they face barriers, hate crime, and the government has to give them money every month because they are unable to get a job. In conclusion, I recommend people walk a mile in a disabled persons shoe before they say or do anything hurtful.

Within the article Paralympics 2012: disabled people are treated very, very badly in Haiti, it boldly speaks about how disabled people are being discriminated against. To start off, Nephtalie Jean-Louis has Polio, (an infectious disease that affects your nerves and causes to temporally or permanently paralyze a person) is trying to make a big impact within her country. In Haiti they do not have access to many things. In order for one to ride a bus, someone must accompany them if not, the bus driver will drive off. Additionally, Nephtalie is in the Paralympics and trying to change the thoughts of the Haitians who has discriminated her by winning a medal. She strongly believes if she wins a medal for her country it will change the way they treat people with disabilities.
