Language is one of the most important components in building up relationships(e.g: seek jobs). While Cantonese is the main spoken language in Hong Kong, Chinese is not their mother tongue. Many of them are not fluent in speak Cantonese. ]]> 2019-01-02 11:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317017326 s115152 https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317032323 LGBT

Transgender individuals mostly face dysphoria, hate towards their own body because of their biological sex not matching their gender, and they often get misgendered by others, as well as often not being recognized for their gender identity. Members of the LGBTQ+ community often have a high self harm and suicide rate because of the lack of recognition or the hate they receive.]]> 2019-01-03 11:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317184479 https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317203098 The disabled]]> 2019-01-03 13:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317203098 https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317203263 Many of the disabled people are unemployed and treated unfairly as people think they don’t have the ability to do almost anything. Therefore, employers are reluctant to spend resources on training them. Moreover, people may try to avoid walking near the disabled since their equipment can be bulky, making them feel alienated. Another point to note is that there are not enough barrier-free facilities for the physically impaired to travel around the community freely.

In addition to this, some may seem so normal that their problems go under the radar until it is too late. An example would be students with dyslexia, who may be seen as simply a less capable learner instead of someone with a disability that affects their learning. This hinders the development of their edcuation]]> 2019-01-04 04:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317371517 https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317371751 SEN students ]]> 2019-01-04 04:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317371751 https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317708057 When companies are willing to employ the disabled, fewer of them will be unemployed.

The society often have misconceptions about LGBT and treat it as an abnormality. They usually refuse to communicate and approach people with different sexuality. 
What's more, new polices can be implemented and laws can be refined to meet the needs of LGBT people. For example, legalising same sex marriage and allow transgender people to enter washrooms according to their gender]]> 2019-01-07 06:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317741778 https://padlet.com/twu3/muiqw34rjh22/wish/317741793 The government authorities should be held responsible for shutting down training centers, which help the disabled adapt to society and get a job :)
Small companies should be more open-minded, as they are reluctant to employ the disabled, as the disabled can do simple jobs like cleaning or organizing.

The government can change the curriculum of mainstream school to allow them to provide non chinese study options.
The public should not discriminate the minorities. They empathise with them and offer help them.
