Deaf Ideology Video Analysis

675 Words3 Pages

The video, Deaf Ideology by Marika Kovacs-Houlihan, starts off by defining the term “Deaf”. Marika points out the term Deaf stimulates numerous questions in people’s minds such as “Can she hear?” or “Can she speak?”. These questions and thoughts lead to the topic of ideology. Ideology is a set of beliefs or ideas of a specific culture. Throughout the video, she explains that the ideologies some people have are limited. Marika gave numerous examples on how ideology is limited and suppressed, such as asking a question at the front desk and receiving special help because she is Deaf. Another example is being treated differently at school because sign language was discouraged and now allowed to be in use. Even when discussing career options, it leads to the thought that Deaf people can’t have a choice in their …show more content…

It’s stigmatized for many things like being uneducated, isolated, living without language and more. While watching this video, I couldn’t help but realize that I already supported the Deaf culture. My ideology was already well -mannered and respected even before I had the slightest idea on what the Deaf culture was all about. I completely agreed and supported everything Marika discussed in the video. The main thing that really hit me in this video was when she brought up on how we should expand our ideologies and react differently. I found this to be completely, one hundred percent true. Everyone should follow this statement and live by it every day because we all are human and humans should be treated with respect and fairness just like the rest of the world.
In the second video, On Becoming Hearing: Lessons in Limitations, Loss, and Respect by Dirksen Bauman, begins by giving a short biography on himself.

  • The Use Of Cochlear Implants In True Biz By Sara Polish

    531 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sara Nović’s novel True Biz is, at its core, a depiction of the struggle between the Deaf community and its hearing counterpart. Much of the book is spent describing how hearing people who fail to understand the Deaf community have mainstreamed their deaf children through the use of ASL deprivation and the use of cochlear implants. Nović feels pride about the Deaf community and wants to teach us about it so that we in the hearing world can better help to prevent its destruction. Unfortunately, in doing this, Nović has painted a one-sided picture regarding the use of cochlear implants by failing to include examples of successful ones, her depiction of Austin's family struggle around the issue, and most importantly, by glorifying the destruction of the bionics lab.

  • Ted Talk By Keith Nolan Ethos Logos

    807 Words  | 4 Pages

    A disability can make someone look at a "disabled" person in a specific way, even though they are just as capable as others of doing things. Some people don't realize the impact someone with a disability can have on the world because they are limited and criticized for their issues. People without disabilities can show what they have, and those with disabilities will never even get past the starting line because of people's biased views on disabilities. After listening to the Ted Talk by Keith Nolan, a private cadet, he established ethos, logos, and pathos through his educational speech on the deaf in the military. In the Ted Talk, Keith Nolan backs up his story with emotion, statistics, credible information, and real-life experience.

  • Cochlear Implants: The Deaf Community In Sound And Fury

    1336 Words  | 6 Pages

    One might argue that Heather was nearly ten years old when she first received her implant, and she managed to learn how to listen and talk, which is true. However, she received very intense training and help from her hearing grandparents, also she had proven herself to be very intelligent and hard-working, and finally Heather was simply lucky. Some deaf adults who grew up without hearing any sounds might make the choice to receive the implant and then they reported that they were not able to understand the sounds or struggles with decoding speech, and the Deaf community would often refer to these bad experiences as evidence to fight against the cochlear implants. Yet they do not mention the fact that those adults with the bad experiences were too old to learn how to speak or listen, especially without prior experiences to sounds, and their brains were no longer in the learning stages as an infant first born and aware of the world around him or her. Also, getting an implant does not prevent a child from learning ASL as well, they may not be welcome in the Deaf community, but there are more programs available for him or her to meet other oral, deaf children who may also know ASL and rejected from the community.

    This case study suggests when the child gains their self-confidence, the other children are more likely to accept them.
