271 Words2 Pages

There are a lot of attitudes and perceptions people have toward Deaf people, not all of them are good. Most of them are not very nice. A lot of people think that Deaf people are not as smart, or can not do as much as hearing. People have not looked or cared about how Deaf people had felt, or what the world was like through their eyes. People have felt like the deaf were dumb, or stupid. Some people think those who are deaf become senseless and can not reason with others. People have different views about everything, however most people cannot see that. Most views people have are about the deaf not being as smart or helpful as the hearring. I personally think some of the deaf people might be very smart and can do things hearing people can

    546 Words  | 3 Pages

    From watching the video I've learned a lot of interesting things. Some Deaf people although there's a implant called cochlear implant that would basically give them hope of hearing wouldn't want to do it because some of them said that they're so used to the Deaf culture and that it wouldn't really change how they are as a person. Some said they wouldn't want to undergo cochlear implant because hearing wouldn't change anything and that they're happy of how they are born, and that they love their language they don't care about having an implants. There is a guy in the video and he said that Deaf people are normal, although they have some accommodations to be made to survive in a society where it's dominated by hearing people, but at the same time, if a hearing person come into the room and it would be full of Deaf people then that hearing person would need the accommodation as well which is true, I felt that when we came into few of the Deaf events.

One can clearly survive and function in the hearing world as being deaf or hearing impaired, but to what degree can one do so in comparison to their non-deaf counterparts? Is it merely prejudice to offer employment to a person of sound hearing capabilities due to better performance, or is this the myth of disability? Would the difficulties of assimilating with the hearing world as a deaf child and person strengthen character and other interpersonal skills that others would not have, or would it limit them from greater socioeconomic

    Let’s be real here and acknowledge for a second that Mainstream Society has never really cared about Deaf people at all. Back-in-the-day, the American Deaf used to be forced to learn spoken English- despite not being able to hear it- and lip-reading- despite the fact that when done perfectly it is still only 30% effective. People who signed were compared to lowly animals. Students caught signing in school were punished severely.

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.

    Drug usage is a big problem in the hearing community and is talked about almost every day, but not the deaf community. Believe it or not, drug usage is a big problem within the deaf community and no one really takes action because obviously communication is much more harder than it is communicating with someone that can hear. The hearing community tends to not care about people who are not relevant to them at all; thus making the deaf community feel different and lonesome. Deaf people are not granted certain jobs, they’re not treated the same, and they are not thought of as the same. When in reality, we all have skin, we all have bones, we all have or have had hair, and we all are capable of doing tasks.
