From the Paper:

"For all of us, society is where we live in and according to the norms and regulations of this society, the world transmutes into a place where we learn to get along with others and accept the people around us for what they are and in turn become what we potentially are. However, society does not accept individuals who are not worthy of earning a decent livelihood without any disabilities. Therefore, work, be it manual or automatic, plays a vital role in determining our success as an individual as well as our social status. Thus, entering or joining a workplace is like forming a part of a group thereby receiving all that comes with accepting the norms of it."
