Numerous museums and art museums in the U.S. refer to the guidelines proposed by the Smithsonian and the accessibility checklist defined by the National Endowment for the Arts. The standards are followed for their exhibition and exhibited works. This is an expression of the willingness to provide quality service to all visitors and to actively reflect feedback provided by the visitors in their operation. For an art museum to go beyond being a place for simply exhibitions and education and become a space for establishing communication with society, the policies and plans of the art museum are approaching individuals with disabilities first and being considerate of their needs.

The reason for setting such as a wide range of subjects for arts and culture education is due to the educational demand for implementing social communication and a healthy integration within the society that transmits social discrimination among different genders, races, and ages. In particular, cultural activities and arts education activities for individuals with disabilities have great significance because its purpose is to go beyond merely enjoying free time to improve quality of life, use leisure, participate in social activities, and interact and integrate with non-disabled individuals. In order for individuals with disabilities to be provided with equal opportunities in experiencing culture and educational activities and for them to actively participate in social activities, awareness toward individuals with disabilities must first be raised. However, society considers individuals with disabilities as a special group of people who are separated and act passively rather than people who live together with non-disabled individuals.

The level of cultural welfare benefits should be equal with non-disabled individuals. However, welfare for individuals with disabilities in South Korea is mostly directed toward economic and material welfare such as ensuring livelihood and employment. According to a survey on individuals with disabilities in 2014, 84.3% can go in public alone and 67.3% go outside almost every day. However, the main purpose of going out was in the order of commuting and attending school (38.0%), going on a walk or exercise (28.9%), and visiting a hospital (12.3%). Physical difficulty was the main reason for not going outside at 60.9%. Subsequent responses included feeling highly uncomfortable (16.8%) and slightly uncomfortable (28.5%) participating in activities outside. In the survey, 45.3% of total registered disabled responded that they feel uncomfortable with public transportation unequipped for the disabled and other facilities, with 54.7% answering that they do not feel uncomfortable. The reason with the most responses to feeling uncomfortable with doing activities outside was the lack of convenience facilities such as the lack of transportation services and ramps at 47%.

Students with disabilities feel more at home in inclusive learning environments when cultural differences are acknowledged and valued. To provide a welcoming and respectful learning environment, educators must actively work to comprehend the various cultural practices, beliefs, and values. I completely agree with this idea because it is critical for educators to be aware of the cultural origins and identities of their students since this can have a beneficial effect on how well they learn. Bialka also emphasizes the necessity of cooperation between multicultural and special education. By combining these two disciplines, educators may address the confluence of culture and disability, ensuring that students with disabilities from all backgrounds receive the assistance and accommodations they need.

Throughout the course of history, federal legislation and Supreme Court decisions have empowered the evolution of rights for Americans With Disabilities. Milestones made by both branches of government have efficiently modernized and safeguarded this marginalized group of people. For instance, discrimination against these individuals is prohibited, in manners such as, education, public transportation, and employment. However, in the free country of America, their freedom wasn’t granted. Restaurants were able to refuse service to people with disabilities and people confined to wheelchairs were forced to leave them behind to be able to ride a bus or a train.

In her paper, "A Defense of Abortion," Judith Jarvis Thomson engages in a nuanced exploration of the moral aspects surrounding abortion, specifically addressing the common opposition based on the belief that a fetus is a human being with an inherent right to life from the moment of conception. Thomson constructs a series of thought experiments and logical scenarios to dissect and challenge the anti-abortion stance. Thomson begins by questioning the logical connection between the belief in fetal personhood and the conclusion that abortion is morally impermissible. She argues that even if one accepts that the fetus is a person with a right to life, it does not necessarily follow that the mother's right to bodily autonomy should be overridden.

In the first section of the paper, I examine the overrepresentation of black disabled students in special education programs in order to discuss how race intersects with disability and how negative cultural stereotypes are reinforced. In the second section, I discuss the issues with the language used to describe disability and language has a bigger negative consequence on black disabled students than white disabled student. In the last section, I investigate the negative consequences of using an overcoming narrative to inspire students in special education. With this critique, I hope to add to the conversation of overrepresentation in disability studies by examining how a popular well-known children’s graphic novel meant to inspire minority students adds to the problem of stigmatization and overcoming disability

Thesis statement “Inclusion Helps Special Needs Students by Allowing Them to Develop Interactional Skills Because of the Exposure to a Social Environment.” Inclusion in education is an approach to educate students with special needs in regular classrooms, rejecting the need of special schools.

The failure to implement full inclusion appropriately has numerous detrimental effects on the parties involved. One disadvantage for full inclusion is that the socialization part precedes the academic component, notwithstanding the fact that it should not be the primary goal of education. Inclusion movements aim to make disabled students look normal, overlooking the issue of whether they are undertaking educational programs or not. This can have a negative effect on the academic progress of students with disabilities because important skills are not taught for the sake of the learner making physical presence in a full inclusion classroom. Fox (2013) claims that there is a need for disabled students to reap maximum benefits from this integration.

Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.
