Toefl Essay #2: Disabled People

             The gap between 20 century and 21 century was particularly long. In 1999, there was a rumor that the world would disappear. Some people gave up their job and house and stayed in the mountains. Some people made refuges and prepared their last moment. However, the world did not extinct and the first sun for 21 century appeared. This century was unexpected and surprising for people. Thus, 21 century is changing rapidly as day by day. In this society, our environment is changing and people’s live are improving. Plus, handicapped people are living a better life because of technology development, improvement of social prejudice, and exclusive system.

             First, the development of technology will help handicapped people. Handicapped people have difficulty moving. Physical disabled people cannot move their body properly and need a wheelchair or someone to help them. Mentally disabled people need someone to help their daily life. These people need full care and support but before 21 century this was not possible. However, 21 century’s technology can now fulfill the needs of these people. Instead of human watching over these people, robots can be attached to the handicapped part of the person and can 24 hours do things that people order. .

             Moreover, disabled people can live a more comfortable life because 21 century will abolish society’s prejudice against people with disabilities. People think that disable people are weak and that they are better than them. These prejudices are disappearing through school education and media. They are teaching people that everybody is equal. This idea was not an important matter until the 21 century. People believed that higher class people were superior than lower class. In the 20 century almost all the countries changed to democracy. People began to protest to what they thought was unfair and violating their rights. Now, people care about other people’s right and know that disable people are equal as them. With these idea, people no longer mistreat or ignore them but respect and help disable people.

             Last, exclusive system for disable people will make their lives easier. Disabled parts of their body had made their lives difficult than regular people. It was difficult to move and do ordinary routine. Now there are exclusive systems made for disabled people to solve their discomfort. For example, parking lots for handicapped people help them to find an easier place to stop Disabled children school supports them to study with other people’s care and love. Also, there are equipments just suitable for the disable part of people. For example, there are remote controls that operate by people’s eye. This was made to solve the discomfort of people who cannot move their body like Lou Gehrig’s disease patients.

             All in all, 21 century has brought positive changes to disabled people. They can benefit from improved technology, upgraded perspective, and exclusive system. Still we have 88 years left till 22 century. For the remaining period, handicapped people’s life will improve and they will feel comfortable.
