Inclusion (disability rights)

The demand for social inclusion is realized when every man in his individuality is accepted by the Company and has the opportunity to participate or fully participate in it. Differences and deviations are consciously perceived in the context of social inclusion, but limited in their meaning or even canceled. Their presence is provided by the company in question does not yet seen as a special feature. The right to participation is socio-ethically justified and applies to all areas of life in which all can move to barrier-free.

Inclusion here describes the equivalence of an individual without causing normality is assumed. Normal is rather the diversity, the presence of differences. The individual person is no longer forced to meet unachievable standards, but it is society that creates structures in which people get involved with specifics and on their inherent nature can provide clients with valuable services. An example of accessibility is to make every building accessible by wheelchair. But barriers figuratively can be degraded, for example by a visually impaired person works as a telephone or as a singer.
