Question

Why do the authors include Part 4 in this section? How is Part 4 related to the claim?

(a) Findings. The Congress finds that

(1) some 43,000,000 Americans have one or more physical or mental disabilities, and this number is increasing.

(2) historically, society has tended to isolate and segregate individuals with disabilities, and, despite some improvements, such forms of discrimination against individuals with disabilities continue to be a serious and pervasive social problem.

(3) discrimination against individuals with disabilities persists in such critical areas as employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation, communication, recreation, institutionalization, health services, voting, and access to public services.

(4) Census data, national polls, and other studies have documented that people with disabilities, as a group, occupy an inferior status in our society, and are severely disadvantaged socially, vocationally, economically, and educationally.

(5) the continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice denies people with disabilities the opportunity to compete on an equal basis. (10 points)

Answer 1

part four is related to the claim because it talks about economy and talks about overall population

Answer 2

it might be stated that part 4 is included in order to provide a data-support information, that is to say, that this is not just an opinion but there have been researches on the matter, such as census and polls which might add validity to the statements. This is a way of showing that there is enough information to support the topic discussed.
