• Talk to different age groups and races in our different neighbourhoods and gain exposure from the different social groups 
• Attend some community events to get to meet new people
• Public education to raise awareness of different disabilities to reduce social stereotypes (not just kids, but parents are also included, as parents may educate their children to avoid such social groups with special needs in the society, leading to a change in mindset in kids towards them) — [“Children do not discriminate or single out children with disabilities," she said. "It's the adults who tend to do that.”]
• Creating ways to facilitate meaningful interaction between people with and those without disabilities from a young age
• Learn to accept each other regardless of difference

• Shame, humiliation
• Fear that they would not be able to integrate into the community
• Scared that others will judge them for this
• Gossips about their family members
• People look down on them
• Want to “protect” them

• Willing to share spaces but uncomfortable interacting with them
• Minority, not normal
• Not as strong
• The majority sees the minority as a group to be looked and treated differently due to their differences 

• Create chances for us to interact with them from a young age 
• Change perspectives — see them up the same way as others
• Empathise

• Talk to them
• Spread awareness
• Learn to empathise with them and embrace their differences
• Realise that they’re humans just like us

2. What other barriers prevent a society from being inclusive?

• The Indian lady thought that the Chinese were arrogant 
• The Chinese kids thought that Indians are scary and dislikes them for no particular reason
• Skin colour, thinks Indians are different from Chinese 

• Negative mindsets and stereotypes of other races discourage us from interacting with other races, and this lack of interaction prevents different races from interacting. These prejudices would then forever remain and people would be reluctant to be inclusive towards people they have heard bad things about
• Lack of understanding and open mindedness
• Influence by family or friends with negative mindsets and stereotypes of other races

• Indians are scary
• Indians don’t bathe
• Indians are dark and black
• Indians live in India 

• Chinese are arrogant

• Lack of communication and understanding
• Religion
• Misconceptions and stereotypes
• The ratio of the different races
• No opportunities

• Yes
• See things from a different perspective
• Understand other peoples thoughts more accurately
• Teach us not to assume anything about different people

• Treat everyone of all ages and races equally
• Include them in activities
• Spare a thought for others when doing activities

• Embarrassment
• Pride to let other people pity or look down on them
• Do not want people to know that they are related to a disabled person and look down on them

• They have a stereotype towards the people who are handicapped.
• They think the disabled are less able to do things
• They look down on handicapped people 

• Make companies hire disabled people so that they have a job too
• Make more handicapped facilities so that people will think that it is normal

• Treat them equally, do not exclude anyone
• Make friends with others

• The quality of being able to be reached or approached, able to be used or obtained, or easy to appreciate or understand easily by everyone.
• Importance: When it’s broken down, the word accessibility is the “ability” to “access” and really this is why the topic is so important. Broadly stated, it’s intentionally designing the world to include everyone, regardless of disability. It’s working so others have access to more of life because this accessibility matters.
• E.g. healthcare, restaurants, business

•  Can be permanent or temporary
• Happens to everyone at some point in their lives (e.g. pregnant women, tourists with their luggages, elderlies)
• How well something can be accessed 
• Accessibility is inclusiveness
• A universal concept that should be considered in every element of government planning

• It allows people to do things more comfortably (makes life easier)
• Equality
• Everyone can enjoy the same things
• Cannot access basic daily necessities 
• Could benefit economically, politically and socially in the long run

• Family background is not wealthy
• The rich people could make people poorer (rich get richer, poor get poorer), resulting in the widening of social gaps
• A perception when compared with other social groups
• Their relationship with other people
• Bankruptcy (when one overly-splurges on money or gambles)
• Lack of job opportunities and could only apply for jobs with low income

• No one really has the responsibility
• The poor must also help themselves
• Other citizens should help too by providing them the required support
• Logically it’s the government
• Welfare organisations 
• Ministry of Manpower could offer more job opportunities for them

• No one realises that they’re suffering in their poverty——>don’t come out at night or live in those areas
• People close one eye about their situation

• Do not judge them based on what they’re doing now
• Donate if we’re willing
• Raise awareness
• Try not to pity them but to empathise

• Try to get them to accept each other gradually
• Don’t force them to join but find other solutions to include them
• Find some activities that they all enjoy
• Get them to try helping each other

• Asking people in their community to help each other
• Through the bonding, they can know that there’s someone there caring for them and accompanying them
• Yes they could affect others too

• providing facilities that can last a long time and need not be replaced frequently 
• not rely too much on manpower (the proportion of residents aged 65 years and over has increased from 8.7% in 2008 to 13.7% in 2018; fewer working-age adults to support each resident aged 65 years and over as indicated by the falling resident old-age support ratio from 7.6 in 2008 to 4.8 in 2018)

• use of technology 
• may be more relevant in the future because the next generation would have already been familiar with using technology
