=== Accessibility === [[File:Taiwan Accessibility.jpg|alt=A blue sign with a white border and text displays a graphic of a person in a wheelchair.|thumb|A sign in Taiwan showing a wheelchair accessibility ramp]] : [[Accessibility]] is the degree to which a product, service or environment is available for use to the people that need it. People with certain types of disabilities struggle to get equal access to some things in society. For example, a blind person cannot read printed [[Ballot|paper ballots]], and therefore does not have access to voting that requires paper ballots. Another example can be that a person in a wheelchair cannot ascend stairs and therefore does not have access to buildings without ramps. Accessible access to health clubs and fitness centers has been observed to be especially problematic.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bradley J. Cardinal & Marc D.
