The elderly have rights to be happy. ❖ Support Handicapped People’s Equal Rights and Social Participation There are some cases that people in wheelchairs were refused access to public transportation, and rejected for renting apartments. Our society should never have such discrimination. ❖ Stop Human Rights Violation Acts in Cyberspace Some people hurt certain individuals by discriminating against others without revealing their identity
