be that if the doctors have to get somebody in, they may charge Mrs Iqbal instead of them paying for it and she may think that she is not being told everything that she needs to know about what her son needs to have done. The strengths of the cochlear implant and sign language is that Molly will be able to understand everything she is being told at school and will not be left behind in the work because she isn’t able to understand, due to the fact that she is deaf and not able to hear. The weaknesses

Labeling deafness as a disability fails to acknowledge the social process through which a Deaf child could become ostracized and excluded from society. It is commonly argued that if a child becomes isolated, it was the fault of the disability itself, not the society as large. Historically, the dominant hearing culture has demoted Deaf people to social categories such as handicapped, disabled, and outsider (Kelleher, 2017). An ever-increasing number of Deaf people do not consider themselves to be

For an hour I experienced what it would be like to be hearing impaired. In order to get a true experience of what it would be like to be hearing impaired, I put two orange ear plugs in both of my ears. These ear plugs are the type that people would where when going to the car race or when flying in a plan. The ear plugs did not work to simulate told deafness but did diminish my ability to hear quite a bit. I spent most of the hour that I simulated having a hearing impairment at Chili’s. I placed

they want to preserve deafness. While hearing people want to do away with deaf by cochlear implants and even hearing aids, are hearing people’s way of fixing their deafness. Deaf people do not need to be fixed. They are very capable of leading a normal life. They think this would destroy Deaf culture; besides cochlear may improve only environmental sounds but it does not cure deafness completely. To go with cochlear, oralism is not thought highly of either. Being forced to speak or learn to lip read

Peanut butter is green while Christmas decorations are brown and brown, and here’s no such thing as a redhead. I don’t see the world the way most people do; my whole perception is distorted. All my life I’ve wanted to understand what everyone else sees, but now that the opportunity has presented itself, I find myself hesitating. In recent years, scientists have developed glasses that allow colorblind people, like me, to see a wider variety of color. The company that sells these glasses, EnChroma

After reading the article “Do Deaf People Have a Disability?” by Harlan Lane with my peers, I have educated myself further by understanding fully. Before I took American Sign Language, I didn’t even think about the Deaf community, much less if they were being oppressed or not. I never thought that they were oppressed for being Deaf, something which isn’t wrong, just like racism and sexism. The word disability is socially constructed, and that we should stop using it because putting labels on people

deaf community had to be pushed out even farther? This concept started a whole new world for me. In my life, I really have never been exposed to sign language before. I think I have only met one real deaf person and he was about three and had a cochlear implant. So, the deaf community has never popped into my mind when it came to things like this. I think that another big part of the movie, for me, was when the students from Gallaudet University protested against their new president because she wasn’t
