Disability Discrimination

Explanation:

Disability Discrimination is a form of inequity or unfairness that individuals aer forced to witness, endure or suffer as a result of their association with a disabled person, a perceived disability or an actual disability. This discrimination arise in different situations and they are both physical and mental.

Disability discrimination is often witnessed in employment in issues including; recruitments, promotions, trainings, lay-ffs, leaves, benefits and payments.

In this particular question, disability discrimination is a kind of inequity obvious in the fact that Paralympic athletes are only paid 10 percent of what the Olympic athletes receive, despite the fact that they are engaged in similar physical activities. The fact that is the same U.S Olympic Committe (USOC) that pays both set of athletes makes it a form of employment inequity in form of disability discrimination.
