Longitudinal Waves By Jason Torres Summary

Broken Chain by Gary Soto is one of the two stories that I picked, the other being Seventh Grade still by Gary Soto have lots of differences and lots of similarities you notice only when you compare them.

Cochlear implants are a medical device that help a deaf person hear sound. I believe these implants are a great way to help deaf people experience sound. With this devise they can hold a conversation with a person of hearing. The deaf community could get even higher jobs then what they normally get. They can better understand the culture of hearing people as well as hearing better understanding the deaf people. Cochlear implants don’t take deafness away they only help to hear the world of sound. I personal want cochlear implants and hear is why you my family should consider allowing me to get them.

In Guillermo Lavin’s “Reaching the Shore” contains imagery of Maquiladoras, parental role model, machismo, and addiction. “Reaching the Shore” is about the Mexican culture and economic structure. Through these topics, I believe the idea of Mexican culture and economic structure are expressed. Jose Paul admires his father and wants to be just like him. I believe that as young boy growing up you look up to your father as that male role model you'd like to be when you're an adult. Jose Paul’s father works at the Maquiladoras and is addicted to pleasure chips. As a parent you want your child to have a better life than you've had and for them to be happy and successful. If Jose Paul follows the path his father has taken he will also work in

The misconception among hearing people is that Deaf people live in a world without sound. For example, in the film “And Your Name Is Jonah” there was a deaf boy (Jonah) whose parents were unaware he was deaf, so the representation of the boy in specific scenes where absent of any soundtrack. There was even a scene where he is going to a party and the background changed abruptly to a complete silence, no human voices, gives a very isolated and disoriented tone. It terrifies people who hear into their own fear of losing their ability to hear sound. The metaphor of silence is seen in the title of books about deaf people “They grow in silence”, “Dancing without music”, “Growing Old in Silence”, “The Other Side of Silence”. To hearing people the metaphor represents the dark side of Deaf people and how they connect to the world directly. I believe this misconception is not valid due to the fact, that we all experience the world in different ways; some people can’t connect to the world as others do hearing or deaf. We all are different and experience life in a different way. For instance, a deaf person can have a heightened smell, or any other of their senses so they can use that to maybe see things normal people can’t or have a more intense smell so they can use It to smell the beautiful of earth, that most people cannot do.

Fitting into society can be hard for any person, but it can be even more difficult for a deaf person. With a cochlear implant, it can give the person more of an ability to fit into society. Everyone wants to fit in and get along with people. If the person cannot hear, then most kids will look at them differently and not include him or her. The children could be scared of the child that cannot hear and does not always know what is going on, or how to communicate with a normal hearing person. Not only do children get scared, adults also get scared and do not always know how to act around people who are deaf and do not know how to communicate. Getting a cochlear implant will enhance the child’s capability to fit in better with other children,

Chapter 10.1 covers light and the electromagnetic spectrum. This chapter starts off by describing how light is a form of energy that travels in waves. The properties of said waves include a crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point of the wave), and the rest position (the level of a wave without energy).

The medical view challenges fundamental cultural values of the Deaf culture by undermining the importance of establishing a Deaf identity. Since its priority is to cure “Deafness” using medical interventions, young Deaf infants often do not often have a say in the auditory recovery treatments that will ultimately define their ways of life. Doctors and scientists alike are trained to think of ways to return the body to its most natural, fully equipped state and the inability to process auditory information is alarming because it deviates from their definition of a normal, healthy human being. Although the intentions of those in the medical field are not necessary maleficent, but the way in which they explain options to parents with a Deaf child

The topic of cochlear implants is causing quite the argument between the deaf and medical community. The core of the disagreement centers around whether or not cochlear implantation should continue to be considered as an option for hearing impaired individuals to improve auditory ability.. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association a cochlear implant is “a device that provides direct electrical stimulation to the auditory (hearing) nerve in the inner ear.” Proponents of cochlear implants claim that hose who are born with or later experience a problem with the sensory nerve of the inner ear have the opportunity to gain the ability to hearHowever, many are now arguing that this device is not as useful or healthy for the human ear as it has been said to be. Those who oppose cochlear implantation, namely the deaf community, view it as a threat to the deaf community and its culture. At both sides of the argument, cochlear implants are a sensitive topic amongst the deaf community and those trying to further advancements on the cochlear implant device. The deaf community views the implants as a sense of false hope, false information and a long, disappointing

During the 1st Wave of the Feminist Movement, that began in 1848, one of the biggest issues was attaining the right to vote or suffrage. During this time another huge issue was that of the treatment of African Americans in the country. One of the influential women that fought for both the women’s movement and abolitionist movement during the 1st Wave was Ida B. Wells.

Velocity, the business novel by Dee Jacob, Suzan Bergland and Jeff Cox offers the reader many key theories and technics to which they can apply to their manufacturing facilities in real life. The authors pairs these real life manufacturing techniques with a fictional setting in order to convey their ideologies to the reader. The book provides the backgrounds for each of the characters and business involved and then slows to the technical practices of the manufacturing ideologies in the latter chapters. Paradigm shifts play a major role as new ideas are presented throughout the book.

Sound is conducted energy, just like waves. Whenever you speak, hum, step, or dance, energy is released from whatever or whoever made the sound. This is why you can tell who has spoken in a quiet room. In the article "Hearing Sound does not require ears," The author states, " It seems that if we can hear something, we should be able to tell what it is. However, that is not always the case. There are many sounds that our brains cannot recognize. Imagine meeting someone that speaks a foreign language. You are able to hear all of the sounds

Every day human beings interact with the world around them. Everyone is unique in how they interact. Most people on a daily basis will observe nature, smell nature, touch nature, taste nature, and hear nature. Only 94% of americans will use all five of their senses, 2.1% of Americans lack the ability to hear fully. Deaf people do not have the ability hearing people have of using every sense, instead they must find unique ways of living their everyday lives without the sense of hearing. American deaf and hearing individuals differ in various situations such as; how they alert themselves, how they communicate, and how they experience going to public venues.
