Ethics and citizenship are fundamental for the construction of a just and harmonious society, where each individual is responsible not only for their actions but also for the collective well-being. Ethics guide us in decision-making, taking into account moral values and principles that aim at respect, justice, and human dignity.
In the context of citizenship, in addition to fulfilling our duties and respecting the rights of others, it is important to promote inclusion and equal opportunities for all citizens, regardless of their differences and limitations.
The cane, besides being a mobility tool for people with visual impairments, also represents a symbol of inclusion and accessibility. By recognizing the importance of the cane, we are not only respecting the right to mobility of people with visual impairments but also promoting a more inclusive and supportive society.

CANE
It is much more than a simple object; it is a powerful symbol of independence, inclusion, and capability. With the advancement of technology, modern canes are becoming even more efficient and versatile, incorporating features such as proximity sensors, obstacle detection systems, and even connectivity with mobile devices.
Modern canes not only help users navigate the physical world but can also provide real-time information about the environment around them, further increasing their autonomy and independence.
