Rise of Australia

Chapter 577 Special Groups
Since the development of human history, there have been many definitions of the word human.For humans, people can be divided into many types, such as ancient people and modern people, men and women, adults and children, etc.

Based on their respective racial differences, they can also be divided into white, yellow and black, as well as various ethnic groups and so on.

No matter how they are distributed, there is a special group that has never come into the public eye, and it is easy for people to ignore their existence.

Some people may have a sudden pity, but most of the time they are forgotten, no one will remember them, and no one will care about them.

They are a special group compared to normal people, because of various disabilities that lead to physical disabilities and loss of basic abilities.

The above passage was noted and published in a newspaper and sparked a heated discussion throughout Australasia.

The first is the scale of disability among Australasians.Compared with other countries, immigrant countries like Australasia still have relatively few people with disabilities.

This is because it is more difficult for people with disabilities to immigrate, and most families with disabilities are not in a good economic situation due to various circumstances.

However, we have to admit that there are still quite a number of disabled people in Australasia, and their size is still increasing.

According to surveys conducted by the Ministry of People's Livelihood in recent years, there are tens of thousands of students in schools for the blind across Australasia. The number of blind people behind the scenes may be even higher, at least six figures.

But these people are barely mentioned in Australasian policy and barely visible in real life.

This also represents a relatively tragic fact. These disabled people have either been abandoned or have lost the right to go out due to various reasons.

It was precisely because of this report that at a meeting of the House of Representatives, members of the House of Representatives raised the issue of protecting the rights of people with disabilities for the first time, and requested the government and the House of Representatives to formulate and improve relevant laws to care for and protect more people with disabilities. Interests.

Such a topic has attracted the attention of quite a few people, and it has also brought disabled people into the public eye for the first time, and people have begun to care about the lives of these disabled people.

Speaking of which, we have to mention Daisy Doddridge, the tabloid reporter who published that report.

In order to give people a more intuitive and clearer understanding of the lives of people with disabilities, Daisy Doddridge actually visited a number of schools for people with disabilities, including schools for the blind and deaf-mutes, etc., and conducted certain studies on them. interview.

"Kid, what do you wish for?" Daisy Doddridge asked a blind child.

"Wish? I want to go out for a walk, but my parents are too busy and I can't go out alone. Mom said there are too many vehicles outside and it would be dangerous if I can't see them." The child said without thinking.

"Didn't your parents take you out?" Daisy Doddridge continued to ask.

"No. They are too busy and have to work all day." The child replied slightly disappointed.

The worlds of special people and normal people are often different. The biggest difference between disabled people and ordinary people is that they cannot live the life that ordinary people are accustomed to.

Especially for these blind people, the brightly colored world is nothingness in their eyes. This is more terrifying than darkness. There is nothing, real nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, Daisy Doddridge interviewed many schools for the disabled, including schools for the deaf and mute. Facts also proved that the lives of these disabled people are not good and have fallen far behind the lives of ordinary people in Australasia. Life.

"We need to do something!" was the thought of Daisy Doddridge after interviewing many disabled people. It was also the theme of the article he published in the newspaper that day.

Arthur naturally noticed the concern of the House of Representatives and the public about caring for the deaf and mute, and expressed some concern.

At present, there are no secrets for Arthur in the entire Australasia. With the three powerful intelligence agencies, Arthur will definitely know about any key events that occur as soon as possible.

This is good for Arthur's rule. At least Arthur's eyes will not be blinded and he can actually formulate relevant policies based on the current status of society, rather than based on the opinions of those officials. so-called policy.

These three major intelligence agencies need to be inherited. At least the Royal Security Intelligence Service needs to be in the hands of the Australasian monarch and become the eyes of any Australasian monarch.

If caring for the disabled was only a hot topic at this time, then the next incident completely promoted the wave of caring for the disabled.

On June 1922, 6, a traffic accident occurred outside Sydney.

Two blind people were following their disabled friend when they were out for fun in Sydney. Due to the heavy traffic, they were forced to separate from their friend.

After that, without any help, he ran around on the road outside Sydney and was eventually hit by a car traveling at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour, resulting in a heavy price of one death and one serious injury.

By the time the police arrived, it was already half an hour later.It was nearly an hour by the time an ambulance with ambulance capabilities arrived.

Although the Sydney Hospital carried out all-out treatment for both of them, they were eventually declared dead.After that, the incident of a blind man getting separated and being hit and killed also appeared in major newspapers, further promoting public discussion on disabled people.

It has become a hotly debated event that attracts the attention of millions of people. Arthur also knows that he must not hide behind the scenes. At this time, he needs to make a statement to win over the people and stabilize the domestic situation.

Arthur said in a public appearance that he is very concerned about the current incidents involving disabled people and will do his best to protect the interests of disabled people while making their travel as convenient as possible.

Arthur's speech is the highest order in Australasia. Following Arthur's statement, the government and the House of Representatives are also immediately studying how to deal with this matter and how to ensure the interests of disabled people next.

The first is the punishment for this traffic incident that has attracted national attention.According to the Australasian Traffic Safety Act, the speed limit for small cars on suburban roads is 60 kilometers per hour, and the vehicle involved did not violate the speed limit.

And because the accident happened not at the intersection, the car was actually driving normally.

It can only be said that the two blind men running on the road were unexpected and the driver of the vehicle involved was a little careless, but the driver's fault was not much.

If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, when the car was not at fault, the two blind men must have been primarily responsible.

The current situation is completely different. This is an incident that has attracted national attention and is related to the currently hotly debated issue of protecting the interests of disabled people. Naturally, it is impossible to easily assign responsibility to the disabled party.

The final compensation was provided by the government, and government officials have successively pledged to improve relevant laws for disabled people to effectively ensure the travel safety of disabled people.

One thing worth thinking about in this incident is that the two blind men did not receive any help in the countryside.

This is food for thought.Although it is a suburb of Sydney, it is the capital and largest city of the country after all. It is impossible to have no flow of people.

But the two blind men did not receive any help, which indirectly contributed to the traffic accident.

For this reason, under the initiative of the government, many media outlets have begun to publish suggestions on helping others, calling on the public to lend a helping hand to help these disabled people when encountering such situations.

The House of Representatives also came up with the idea of ​​exploring the possibility of establishing a road in the city dedicated to disabled people, especially the blind.

Because there are not many disabled and blind people, the road does not need to be too wide, even half a meter is enough.

But it must be easy to distinguish, so that blind people can clearly feel the difference between this exclusive road and other roads.

With the guidance of this road, blind people can easily avoid dangers and walk calmly on the streets.

This road was proposed by members of the House of Representatives as an Exclusive road, meaning exclusive road.

The reason why it is not called a blind road or a road only for the blind is because it contains braille characters. Although it emphasizes that it is exclusive for the blind, it is also very different from the road for ordinary people.

To put it bluntly, doing so can easily reflect discrimination against blind people. After all, isn’t the blind road only used by blind people?

The exclusive road is different. It also emphasizes the special nature of the road, but does not put too much emphasis on what kind of people use it, and there is no discrimination.

This proposal was quickly recognized by the public, and many design companies also designed their own exclusive roads. One of the designs quickly attracted the attention of the government and the House of Representatives.

For such a special road, the important thing is not to let ordinary people see its difference, but to allow blind people to clearly feel whether it is a special road.

Therefore, the paving of special roads must be different from ordinary roads so that blind people can clearly feel it. Naturally, some effort must be put into their feet.

Compared with the patterns of ordinary roads and floor tiles, the shapes of special roads are more special, and you can easily feel the difference when you step on them.

In addition, the colors of special roads will be distinguished from those of ordinary roads to remind people not to occupy special roads.

The proposal on special roads was passed by the House of Representatives with a majority and was also listed as a key road reconstruction project in 1922 by the Department of Transportation.

According to the documents issued by the Ministry of Transport to cities and states, governments at all levels are currently doing one thing, which is to speed up the reconstruction of roads, add blind roads in urban construction, and ensure that Access for the blind.

This also means that almost all cities need to carry out some reconstruction, but no one has any complaints about this. Protecting the interests of disabled people has become the hottest topic in Australasia.
