..."Love is patient and kind, it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited, it is never rude or selfish, it does not take offence, nor is it resentful. Love takes no pleasure in others’ sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end. There are three things that last: faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love." When you love, you love with your body, with your heart, with your mind, but not with eyes! As Shakespeare said , “Love is blind!”. Love is deaf! Love makes the world goes round! Firstly, when somebody is in love you can feel it. People who fall in love are just like the sun. You can see the sunrise and the sunset in their eyes, in their heart, everywhere! They are blind! They can't see people around them, but just the one they love. They are deaf! They can't hear people gossiping or saying bad things, but just lovely whispers. Love takes you to the heaven and makes you kinder, more beautiful. Secondly, love doesn't need colours or sounds! Love is beauty, love is music! It's imposibile to find a defect in something that is perfect .Love is perfect! The one you love is perfect for you! You don't need eyes or ears to see and to hear this. Just look carefuly in you heart, listen to it and when your mind will tell you ''He is the one” , that means he is the one! To love means to live! When your heart is empty, you can consider yourself...

...The maritime industry hasn’t changed a bit from the start of shipping up to present. Though there are innovations, they are mainly on ship construction, facilities and equipment advancements and on human resource competence through added training and education; these are in response to the constant nuances and the inevitable modernization of society. What remained consistent then? Personnel interaction. Ships were first utilized generally as means for transportation on water and for food through fishing. Eventually, they were used to defend a nation’s territorial waters, hence, the navy… military… With this, customs and traditions for discipline and standard decorum were devised — now, not only observed in the military (navy) but in the merchant shipping as well… already the conventional. The Rank-has-its-own-privilege (RHIP) concept lived on. Any other hierarchical institution observes this as well but in the military (navy), it’s a lot more different… especially when misused, disused and abused. Most maritime schools in the country are implementing semi-regimented or close-to-such training through the National Service Training Program (NSTP) by way of the Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (NROTC). Here, the chain of command is always observed as well as the ‘boss is always right; when in doubt, refer to the previous statement’ and the ‘take-and-take’ principles. A simple survey was conducted on ten MAAP midshipmen from the graduating class and they were asked...

...6.0 Recommendations Although it is imperative that the rights of defendants in criminal trials are not adversely affected, to deny blind and deaf people the right that comes with their citizenship is a blatant disregard to their human rights. By automatically excluding all people with these disabilities from jury service, the law is feeding into the negative stereotypes that are associated with blind and deaf people. Rather than operating under a blanket exclusion, the Jury Act 1995 (Qld) should be amended permit all persons who have decision-making capacity to serve as jurors, regardless of their perceived disabilities which reduces the risk of the courts subjecting themselves to unauthorised discrimination.

...vary depending upon its context and culture that it is being communicated to. The chapter talks about how different the dynamics of intercultural nonverbal communication are across different cultural groups. In this ICC artifact assignment we will examine and look at the topic of The Cochlear implant controversy. The controversy involves the scientific hearing assistance breakthrough device for the deaf community, and whether or not its use and development will be the ultimate removal of and extinction of the deaf community as a culture. The following essay will examine the relevance and truth to this argument and examine the negative and positive manifestations to the Deaf culture from the development and use of the Cochlear Implant itself.

...Examining Government Regulations Student Name HSM/210 Date Instructor Name Living with any type of disability can be difficult; however, the deaf population in America faces a unique challenge when trying to pursue the American dream: finding a job. Upon researching contemporary problems within the United States, it was discovered that gaining and keeping employment among the estimated one million functionally deaf individuals in America is one of the larger problems that the deaf community faces. The reason that this is such a large obstacle is that communication within a workplace is vital to ensuring successful completion of tasks and accomplishing goals. Programs have been put in place, and legislative measures have been introduced, to assist these individuals in not only gaining employment, but also in maintaining a healthy and happy work environment that can lead to career longevity. The first step to ensuring open channels of communication among both the deaf and hearing communities is to form a standard of education. After Arizona entered the Union in February of 1912, one of its first state legislatures enacted a provision to form the Arizona Schools for the Deaf and Blind (Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, 2011). Starting classes in October of that year with just 19 children with hearing loss, the school continued to grow over the years to eventually become a public corporation. This school has many services for eligible students; including...
