The Paralympics are based on technology; all the things used in the stadiums, or in the participants are made with technology. Technology and Paralympics helped people with disabilities to reach their personal and professional’s goals.

EthicalfeelingabouttheParalympics • The problem with the disable people is the way they think, when for them one day to another have a disability, first all their ideas are negative ideas, they always think, on what is gong to say the other, they think about haw they are going to have the money for their technological things. They always has a bland mind. When someone has a disability they don’t assess their self, and all for them is problem. All this factors, cultural, moral, political, ethical, social, economic and environmental. • The Paralympics is a very important event for people with disabilities. It is a significant feeling for them, a positive and sensitive feeling. This international sport event had changed many people’s thinks and feelings, most of them in a positive way.
