Industrial capitalism was steered to utilizing able-bodied workers who could work long hours in mass production lines, hence rejecting those with any disabilities from working. Additionally, injured laborers who became disabled could be normally fired if they could no longer be productive. Most people with disabilities in the 19 th century were left to die as they obtained little or no help from society.

Question 15 When communicating with a differently-abled person, one needs to talk to them in a normal voice tone as they would talk to anyone else. One should talk to the person with a disability as an adult and address them directly instead of the accompanying person. Additionally, one should ask the individual with a disability if they need any help. Essentially, one should refer to them as a "person with a disability" instead of "the disabled." It is important to take time to listen to such individuals and remain relaxed and flexible.
