Ethics and citizenship involve acting correctly and respecting others. This includes making fair choices and contributing to the common good. To be a citizen, it is essential to respect the laws and promote inclusion.
Inclusion is an important part of citizenship, and this also applies to people who use wheelchairs. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their physical abilities. This means ensuring that places are accessible and that everyone has equal opportunities.
Therefore, when we practice ethics and citizenship in relation to people who use wheelchairs, we are promoting a fairer and more inclusive environment for everyone. This includes being sensitive to accessibility needs and ensuring everyone has the chance to fully participate in society.
