RELEVANCE

• In today's world, when you look around there are so many different types of
people. Different races, different backgrounds, and also different stories.
• Some would think living in such a diverse world we would form a common
ground and maybe unite together to be "equal" but that is far from true.
• Treat everyone as you would like to be treated. Think of the person first, not
their disability.
