Recommended: Deaf culture and its impact

I enjoy learning about ASL and the culture. I was surprised on how much different it is than that of the English culture. The video that I watched for Unit 3, “See What I Mean: Differences between Deaf and Hearing Cultures” was a very interesting video. The lateness aspect is unique. Most people if they are late do not want to cause a scene, and do not want the attention directed towards them. I think if the hearing culture adopted stating the reason why one was late, then a lot more people would strive to be on time. I enjoy the leave taking. Instead of saying bye and walking away the conversations continues and to make sure both parties have clear understanding of any details and the next time that they will meet. The hearing culture should

  • For Hearing People Only: Chapters 71-131 Book Reaction

    1666 Words  | 4 Pages

    Overall, reading this book from cover-to-cover has certainly assisted in opening my eyes to Deaf culture and the Deaf community I live in. Major questions have been answered, and I feel more confident and familiar with their culture than I have before. I feel I have a better perception of why Deaf people react the way they do to specific situations with hearing people and why they have different etiquettes, like how common it is to hug someone as a greeting. I have a very positive basic reaction to the information and would absolutely reference back to this book if I have any questions.

    Through Deaf Eyes is a documentary conveying various aspects of Deaf life, such as school, culture, and deaf history. It was filled with information and provides a great overview.

  • Analysis Of The Movie Love Is Never Silent

    1087 Words  | 3 Pages

    The film "Love is Never Silent" is an emotional movie build with sad, joyful, angry and excitement feelings. When Margaret 's little brother dies I felt so sorry for her family and especially for her because she would be alone in the hearing and sign world. But everything got better when she met her husband, which was so emotional; to see her finally be happy. Although it was frustrating when Margaret kept putting off telling people she had deaf parents, since to me it seemed like that was nothing to be ashamed of at all. It is sad to see deaf people be in a way, discriminated for being deaf like the scene in the movie where the factory boss blames a woman of being guilty for getting hurt just for being deaf. Also when Margaret 's father buys the audiogram to prevent him from signing to Margaret are her graduation, it was so sad to see that scene of the movie because you can how much Margaret 's parent care for Margaret and how they want to blended it with the other parents.The whole movie was great and truly improve my knowledge of how deaf people lived their life with the birth of a hearing child. Therefore being in this class has taught me a great amount of the way deaf culture has developed and how people throughout history have made a great change in the life 's of deaf people. I have never known or met a deaf person in my life, but taking ASL was one of the

  • Deaf Art Analysis

    289 Words  | 1 Pages

    In this reading, the author discusses their opinion on Deaf Art. During their own experience, they explain the expression and point of view of Deaf artists. As seen in their work, these artists gather their point of views: positive and negative. The author also discusses two of the Deaf artists that have influenced themselves the most. One of these artists is Chuck Baird and the other is Betty G. Miller. Seen on the website, the two pieces created by these artists seem to have significant meanings behind them. Furthermore into the author’s view of Deaf Art, he/she shares the value of Deaf art to this community. Because Sign Language is a visual way of communication, it makes sense that the community creates expressive art without words. This can also be seen in Deaf theater, storytelling, performances, etc. Not only does this art effect the Hearing world, but also strongly impacts the Deaf community.

    Hard of hearing Culture may appear to be peculiar to a Hearing individual. Every ethnic and religious group has its own particular culture. A culture is when a gathering of individuals meet up in light of the fact that they have the same convictions, considerations, and conduct designs. Quite a bit of what has created as Deaf Culture has grown pretty much the same number of social standards create. It basically happens on the grounds that individuals in a particular gathering have resemblances that unite them in exceptional ways. Since understudies are encompassed by different understudies who are Deaf and socially like them, they normally shape an extraordinary bond. “The cultural is neither here nor there, but is born through history, made

  • Ben Jarashow Journey Into The Deaf World Analysis

    In Ben Jarashow’s Journey Into the Deaf World, he explained Deaf culture and how it feels to be deaf within the world of those who hear. People who are born deaf have a loss of what is commonly viewed as the most important sense, hearing. This leaves them with four senses instead of five; most important sense now being sight followed by touch. In return, this means that a language must be developed that is based heavily on sight. In the United States, it was not until 1960 that American Sign Language (ASL) was recognized as its own language.

  • American Deaf Culture

    570 Words  | 2 Pages

    American deaf culture is a vibrant, living culture that is very sadly overlooked much of the time. It is very common for people to take the 'pathological approach' to deaf people, which is an approach that views deafness as a problem that must be cured and believes that deaf people should do what they can to fit in with the regular hearing society. However, most deaf people strongly disagree with this approach because they see themselves and their society as a culture. The deaf people in this culture do not view their deafness as a problem and many would refuse a cure if it was offered. Deaf people have their own literature, jokes, stories, language, greetings and really anything that any other culture has.

  • The History of Deaf Education

    1414 Words  | 3 Pages

    Long before Thomas Gallaudet founded the first permanent school for the deaf in America, controversy as to the educability and best method of communicating with the deaf have existed. In fact, in the Biblical Times section of the book The Deaf Community in America Socrates, in conversation with Hermogenes is quoted saying, “Suppose that we have no voice or tongue, and wanted to indicate objects to one another, should we not, like the deaf and dumb, make signs with the hands, head and the rest of the body? Hermogenes replied, “How could it be otherwise, Socrates?” (M.Nomeland and R.Nomeland 7). However, Aristotle in apparent disagreement with Socrates believed that hearing contributed the most to intelligence and that thought could be expressed through the medium of articulation. A belief that for the next two thousand years led to him being accused of oppressing the deaf.

  • Reflection Paper On Deaf Culture

    821 Words  | 2 Pages

    Each deaf person I communicated with greeted me relatively the same. Everyone was really friendly and polite. Each individual introduced him or herself and then asked what my name was. Understanding the fingerspelling was somewhat difficult for me. As a matter of fact, there were a few times when I had to ask individuals to repeat their name. I felt kind of ashamed, but they made me feel better about the situation. They smiled and finger spelled their name again but this time slower. I suppose it was obvious I was new to the language and really anxious to meet people using ASL. Another aspect I found interesting regarding the greeting behavior was each individual shook my hand. After introducing themselves with their name, they always put out their hand with a smile. Sometimes I see this while using English, but I feel as if it people associated with American Deaf culture shake hands to a greater

  • Discrimination Against the Deaf Culture

    2335 Words  | 5 Pages

    The deaf community does not see their hearing impairment as a disability but as a culture which includes a history of discrimination, racial prejudice, and segregation. According to an online transcript,“Through Deaf Eyes” (Weta and Florentine films/Hott productions Inc., 2007) there are thirty-five million Americans that are hard of hearing. Out of the thirty-five million an estimated 300,000 people are completely deaf. There are ninety percent of deaf people who have hearing parents (Halpern, C., 1996). Also, most deaf parents have hearing children. With this being the exemplification, deaf people communicate on a more intimate and significant level with hearing people all their lives. “Deaf people can be found in every ethnic group, every region, and every economic class” (Weta and Florentine films/Hott productions Inc., 2007). The deaf culture and hard of hearing have plenty of arguments and divisions with living in a hearing world without sound however, that absence will be a starting point of an identity within their culture as well as the hearing culture (Weta and Florentine films/Hott productions Inc., 2007).

  • Deafness In Society

    Today’s society consists of numerous individuals who are diagnosed with disabilities that prevent them from partaking in their everyday tasks. Not everyone gets the chance to live a normal life because they might have a problem or sickness that they have to overcome. Deafness is a disability that enables people to hear. All deafness is not alike; it can range in many different forms. Some people like Gauvin, can be helped with a hearing aid, but some can’t because of their situation and health reasons. In society, hearing individuals consider deafness a disability, while the deaf themselves see it as a cultural significance.
