ABSTRACT:
3 pages in length. Social equity has come to mean a number of aspects whereby people who do not necessarily fit neatly into a standard description are still provided means by which they can adapt and live a close to "normal" as possible amidst society. Normality, after all, is a relative term when discussing the vast amount of people who live within a social environment, however, there is a commonly accepted understanding of what is considered normal in a given society which serves to guide how social policy is crafted; those who dwell outside this prescribed boundary often have to fight the system in order to be given the same level of consideration. The physically disabled have long struggled to enter buildings, use public payphones or sit at tables that are built too low because there was no definitively universal design that adapted to all who would need to access or use a particular place. Now with the unstoppable growth of the Internet, it has come to pass how Web sites must also be user-friendly for those who use alternate means of access. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
