The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion.

As stated by the founding fathers of America “All men are created equal.” Black, white, brown, short, tall, smart, and dumb, all are created equally. Therefore every person deserves fair judgement. Unfortunately, it is a profound fact that not everyone is born normal and capable of task typical for a common person, who is free from disability. In my opinion, the quote “All men are created equal” serves to promote a friendly environment that helps encourage equality among people and aids to recognize the similarities rather than the differences that separates men. Even so, with this hope, the disabled community still struggles for equality. According to Legal Rights by the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), “Almost 10 percent of all

People have many choices in life- some are made for them, some they choose themselves. Among the five individuals viewed, each with exceptionally poignant inspiring stories, Cody was a personal favorite. Like Cody, I was born with many differences, numerous and complicated to the point my parents were told that had I been born even five years before, they would have watched me die. Among the handicaps I possess, hearing deficit has had the most impact on my life. I am almost completely deaf in my left ear, so I wear a hearing aid. And yet, like Cody, my disability has not stopped me or kept me from my passions. I find it ironic that my greatest passion lies in music, an art that requires the capability to hear.
