Complacency-It's a serious problem in much of society. In politics most people vote for the incumbent, regardless of how little the person has done during the tenure. In education students don't work hard but pass anyway. Eventually they are sent into the world unprepared. In human services staff do not really take the time to listen and implement the client's ideas. Eventually they decide it's best to sit back and let things happen to them. They do a significant amount of complaining about things but when it comes to actual advocacy.

So what are the solutions to eliminate complacency? In politics people are electing outsiders in the hopes of new ideas. In education parents are seeking new types of classrooms such as cyber school. In human services advocacy is starting to be a crucial part of the services. On the other side educational programs, in which all people without challenges learn and experience disability, are crucial components to creating a more equitable society.
