Equality in difference

Social discrimination

He has written a book titled the

"Life Without Limits: Inspiration

for a Ridiculously Good Life." In

this book, Nick tells the story of

his physical disability and the

emotional battle to live with it in

his childhood, adolescence and

adulthood.

To discriminate means “to

make a distinction”. In our

society, there are many people

with physical difficulties. These

people are equal to people that

have no disabilities. But, because

they are different, many of

these people are discriminated.

There are people who think

that, just because these disa-

bled people are different, they

should “be kept away”. This is

pure discrimination.
