Cochlear Implants Video Summary

The problem with the implants is, it takes them from both the hearing and the Deaf world. Those who are implanted are a third category that can lean more towards the hearing or Deaf but do not really fit into both. While the children are more accepting of other children, many Deaf adults are likely to view individuals with a CI as second class deaf. There is no definitive answer as to whether Cochlear Implants are ethical or not.

Problem: As a society, we are beginning to see that biological parents are not taking an active role in the juvenile justice system, or simply not as active as one would hope they would accept and perform, which is presenting further problems and concerns within the system (Baker, et al., 2013; Greenwood, 2008). Due to parents not being as actively involved as what certain individuals may like to see, other concerns can arise, creating this sense of criticism, along with a flawed juvenile justice system to the untrained societal eye because parents are not home with their families, they are in out of home placements (Amandoala, 2009; Farrugggia, & Sorkin, 2009; Woods, Farineau, & McWey, 2013; Younes & Harp, 2007). There are a handful of different agencies and individuals who become involved in a juvenile’s life if they act delinquent, and

2. How would Utilitarians view human cloning? I believe they would not like most of this because most of these clients just want to be cloned for their own benefit and not to help others. They would be very picking for the use of these clones because if it is not helping a mass majority of people then what is the point.

That these awards are giving out false hope to children, that saying they are wonderful at the sport when they are not is wrong to do. Those parents who believe in this concept, also feel that it is forcing children to feel they are at the same level as others or that the kids will not push farther because they have satisfaction for receiving an award. Former NFl quarterback Kurt Warner, once said, “They don’t let kids pass classes 4 showing up” ( qtd in Wallece). This quote talks and claims kids do not pass classes if the just show up, but how true is this statement? Yes if a kid just sits there they will not pass, but even if the kid shows effort or improvement they will probably pass the class, and just like sports most kids will try during the game, which will earn them trophy.

Some doctors are hesitant to have medication as the main way to control ADHD because it is said that many times a child is treated with medication it is wrongly prescribed. This would not happen if all pediatricians were trained correctly. “When we hear that children are being sedated or turned into zombies by ADHD medications, we know that they are not being managed competently. That is a reason to focus on improving the training of health-care professionals, not a reason to take kids off medication entirely” (Koplewicz). Children should not have to suffer just because doctors were not trained

Another example is when George finally completely turns off the house, the children and even the parents refer to it as “dead” and “been killed”. So, these are some horrible effects that the children and the parents experience from being surrounded by too much technology. They have let it control their lives. A possible counter claim to this idea is that the theme of Ray Bradbury’s “The Veldt” is actually about family.

Over the years, there have been many controversial issues surrounding medical research, but one of the most arguable topics of all time is the use of embryonic stem cells. Some individuals believe that extracting stem cells from unborn babies will be useful to create new medications or, in most cases, help regenerate damaged cells. Although, many people disagree with the process scientists use to obtain these stem cells. By continuing embryonic stem cell research, scientists are denying an unborn child the chance to live, they are not letting nature take its intended course, and they are not adhering to the religious or moral beliefs of many people.

The reason for this new law is the recent measles outbreak that occurred in disneyland. Specialists argue that if vaccines were required for everyone to have, the measles outbreak wouldn 't have spread so far. “The overwhelming number of people who have gotten infected, particularly among the children, are children that have not been vaccinated, because parents, for reasons that are really not based on any scientific data, just don’t want their children to be vaccinated,”

Robert Cantu, a neurosurgeon and colleague of Stern 's at Boston University who did not work on the study, said that young brains are more vulnerable to hits because they lack the coating on the nerve fibers, called myelin, that provides strength and helps transmit information. In 2011, Cantu began advising families with children to avoid tackle football and stick with flag football if possible through the age 14 (Farrey). These doctors have made good points on the subject, but how can parents tell their children they can 't play a sport that they love? A mother who 's son had a traumatic brain injury while playing youth football has no problem telling her other children no and spreading the word about the dangers of youth football. Debra Pyka wants children under the age of 14 to stop playing tackle football in youth leagues (Jones).

Which is why they are more likely to view it as a disability. The parents never put forth effort into trying to understand their children. Depending on the degree a deaf child exposed will also depend on how they would look at deafness as they grow

Lastly, as a child grows, they discover more about the different ways a person views others through racism, stereotypes and/or discrimination. This means that when children are naive, they don 't have a clue about the inequality we have in this world. Learning about racism can change a child’s perspective towards their community because they no longer think of everybody to be equally accepting to everyone, including to both white and black people. In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the author shows how the children have no clue about racism in the courtroom. This quote demonstrates that when children are inexperienced, they do not yet know about the discrimination other categories of races are faced with.

Recently, there have been many reports of children being vaccinated, and later on, they begin to develop these disabilities. This has created a scare within the American society, and parents are starting to speculate that vaccines contribute more harm than help. Like I stated before, “...the negative statements transform into rumors…causing a false conclusion on the topic of vaccines” (Walny). People do not perform their own investigation on the vaccination process, therefore, they must believe in everything they hear. For the individuals that do their studying, they know that vaccines prevent disease, not cause disease.

The deaf need the ADA, because discrimination would prevent them from participating in everyday life. Without the ADA the deaf would most likely be denied from businesses, hospitals, schools, and

There once was a family at war, the fight took an emotional toll and the family almost fell apart. The reason for the feud was hearing. Hearing is a huge part of most people’s lives. We as a society tend to take it for granted. Those who are born without hearing are the only people who have a true understanding of what it’s like not to hear.
