Ableism
It is the societal discrimination for disabled people. It
was the belief of people that people who were not normal were possessed by
demons or under some spell, were sinners, or their parents committed some crime
that’s why they were born disabled. The changes are made in the life of these
people after The Disability Movement. It is the global movement for all disable
people to secure equal rights and equal opportunities.

just because of their race or culture. It is the discrimination on the basis of
skin colour, language or customs. Racism has influenced war and slavery.
