2442 Words10 Pages

I attended a talk recently at Dunman High Secondary by a guy named Mano. He is disabled, everything from is abdomen down is purely vegetable. He can only work with his arms, and his head, that of which, he earns money from. He gives talks, inspiring talks just like Nic Vuijic (however it is supposed to be spelt) and educates people about the difference and more importantly, similarities between us and them. He showed us this slide (Picture of equality vs equity) which captured my attention because, I 'm interested in equality.

We have the tendency to think that guys should be hanging out with guys and girls should be hanging out with girls and that mix gender "squads" would be very awkward. My whole life I have never lived by that rule. I primary school and even now, I 'm the guy who always hangs out with girls because I find that they are pmore suited for my kind of personality I suppose. You know..the more social ones and less rough ones on the planet... Sorry

    Equality is something people want till people actually have it. Equality often limits a person’s abilities and disables to do something for themselves or inspire themselves. Equality's, the main character in the book Anthem, the primary motivation is proving that he is smart enough to become a scholar.
