[11:59.64]The last reading.
[12:01.72]Disability
[12:03.66]Nowadays in the west the able-bodied are constantly reminded
[12:08.34]that disabled people have rights just like everyone else
[12:12.10]and they mustn't discriminate against them in any way.
[12:16.85]Public buildings must have toilets big enough for wheelchairs.
[12:21.22]Bus drivers are supposed to announce every stop
[12:24.50]so that blind people know when to get off.
[12:27.94]One is not allowed to refuse a person a job on the grounds
[12:31.87]that he or she has only one leg, or cannot speak.
[12:36.55]We use phrases like "physically challenged" instead of crippled.
[12:41.83]Things like the Para Olympics have done wonders
[12:44.95]to raise people's awareness with so many positive images
[12:49.14]and perspectives towards disabled people genuinely have changed.
[12:54.32]New technology is also making a huge difference.
[12:58.36]For example, high tech hearing aids exist for the deaf,
[13:03.14]as well as laser surgery for the very short sighted.
[13:07.31]And cars are adapted so that people can drive them with only one hand,
[13:12.19]or even no hands at all.
