Deaf again
Lab Assignment #2
After completing this second lab assignment I have noticed a lot of new and interesting thing in deaf culture through watching the videos. Also as well as learning about deaf culture I learned to read signs at a faster pace and I also learned two new signs afterwards doing so. So to start things off ill begin talking about some unique qualities in deaf culture as well as how to handle the situation. One being ,that unlike hearing individual’s, deaf people have to be conscientious of simple things like the lighting in a room for without something as simple as a bright light there rendered “speechless”. So if your ever in a room with a deaf friend and its poorly lit your best bet is to move to the kitchen which is usually the most well lit room in the house. Another thing some people may not know is about how to handle giving a deaf person instructions. If you have to do this your best bet is to go and give the directions in the most detailed way possible. Next up is what to do when a speaking person walks In and starts to talk to you in front of your deaf friend. In this situation there are a few thing you can do but the best option here is to just wait till there done and then to give your deaf friend a brief summary of what they said, this is unless you are fluent in sign language and can sign just as quickly as a hearing person can speak. One situation where it may be beneficial for you to help translate with your deaf friend is if your over there house and a person is at their door, you should ask if they would like you to mediate and then if so you can help with the overall process. Another similar situation like this is a situation in which you receive a phone call with your friend. You don’t have to just ignore the call; it’s much easier to just apologize and tell your friend that you have a call and to give you a minute or a few depending on what
