Some people are born with or develop various forms of
disability, which has an impact on their lives. Many such people have said,
however, that their biggest problem is not the so called disability but the
societal attitude towards them. Do your research and discover the extent of the
problem and what can be done about it. You will need to discuss the problem
itself and then suggest solutions.
