This means that they may have an impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth so they will need extra support in daily activities.

Another factor that can affect how learning or development activities are implemented is language and communication. If the individual that is trying to teach somebody or help with activities that has a different first language to the individual it may be harder to understand.

These individuals are usually excluded from learning and development activities due to these disabilities.
Growing Old Gracefully In a health and social care environment equality diversity and rights are essential to ensure everyone is grown to having rights and has the right to be treated equally no matter their race age or sex and also to be accepted and respected. Human rights belong to all people without discrimination. They consist of key principles such as dignity, respect, autonomy and equal treatment.

The human rights of people with learning disabilities are inseparable from those of their fellow citizens. In March 2008 the Joint Committee on Human Rights (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) issued a report: A Life Like Any Other? Human Rights of Adults with Learning Disabilities. This stated that the HRA “provides a legal framework for service providers to abide by, and for service users to demand that they are treated with respect for their dignity”.
Cultural relativism is the view that each culture must be understood in terms of the values and ideas of that culture and not be judged by the standards of another (Miller, 2007, p. 11). However, critical cultural relativism poses questions about cultural practices in terms of who accepts them and whether they are harming or helping "universal human rights" (Miller, 2007). Consider and list some universal human rights that would be accepted by all cultures. Discuss why you consider these universal human rights for all cultures (for example: you might discuss the right to bear children, clean air, and knowledge). When we freely think of cultural relativism, we tend to kind of break out the box in terms were we have to understand the culture and its entirety.
Poverty: The Human Rights Violation Abstract As a human being, we are entitled to certain rights. These rights are known as human rights and they provide a basic outline of what we as humans can expect to receive as human beings. Whether it is the way someone is treated, or a basic need, we all should have the same expectations of a basic blueprint of human rights. One of those rights that are being violated on a daily basis is the right that everyone has to live with the proper housing, availability of safe food and water, and the right that everyone has to education. When these rights are violated, that is when people are pushed into the deepening depths of poverty.
