We cant help but relate things we see to anything similar we have seen before, this trait we have developed we apply to everything people included. We love to put people in a box based on their appearance, their identity and their way of life, but no box is large enough to describe all that a person is.

We’ve built our society, physically and socially, based on a standard that assumes that the people who operate in it are all capable of the same things or must be made capable of the same things through their own effort. Most sidewalk edges for example are built with the assumption that people can just walk onto and off of them, small buildings with less than three floors might not consider putting in an elevator because “its only one floor to walk up”, we create these things on the assumptions that we are all equally capable physically and socially.
