The book “Deaf Again” is unique because the author has been on both sides of the spectrum. He had been hearing for some time and now is Deaf. He shows each viewpoint and doesn’t make it just for hearing or just for the Deaf. This author is also unique in showing his feelings for both hearing and also being Deaf.…
Through Deaf Eyes is an insightful documentary detailing the history of both deaf culture and deaf education and describing many of the struggles which were encountered during the deaf communities fight for recognition. There were several points of interest in the film that I feel are crucial to understanding the deaf community; first, is the method used to educate deaf children. The early 19th century was a time of reform, especially in the religious community; it was believed that anyone could be saved as long you chose to believe. Many teachers of deaf students saw their role in the child (rens) life as slightly missionary. They could help save the deaf child from eternal damnation and in the process return the child to the hearing world.…
In this book, Deaf in America, by Carol Padden and Tom Humphries, the two authors wrote stories, jokes, performances, and experiences of Deaf people. They also wrote Deaf culture and Deaf people’s lives from various angles. This book is great navigator of Deaf world for hearing people and even Deaf people as me. There are several factors attracting reader. To begin with, I could learn about backgrounds of deaf people and hearing people. Authors wrote about a Deaf boy who was born into a deaf family. Until he discovered that a girl playmate in neighborhood was “hearing”, he didn’t notice about “Others”. Authors explained, “She was HEARING and because of this did not know how to SIGN; instead she and her mother TALK” (Chapter 1). This story strongly impressed me. I was born into a Deaf family too, but I grew up with hearing grandparents. In my childhood, I did intensive oral training with my grandparents. So, I can sign JSL and talk Japanese smoothly. Therefore I never felt emotion like this occasion, “Others” to hearing people. The next factor is difference of “Deaf” and “deaf”. For example, the capitalized “Deaf” people are not only “deaf” but also user of Sign Language. I haven’t known the meaning of “Deaf” and “deaf” exactly before, thanks to this book, now I can understand. When I analyzed myself, I identified as “Deaf” because I truly cherish Sign Language. In addition, Sign Language is explained as a primary mode of communication for Deaf people including me. It has full access to communication for us. Unfortunately, some hearing people misunderstand that Sign Language is a kind of gestural communication. Authors wrote about it, “ASL are often thought to be direct representations of spoken words” (Chapter 3). In my country, Japan, there are some misconceptions about JSL too. Sign Language has both iconic and abstract concept.…

There is an array of reasons that Gallaudet is paramount, to the Deaf and hearing community. The country's first school dedicated to advancing the education for Americans with hearing loss. Gallaudet has paved the way for other Deaf schools and colleges. The great progression of other Deaf schools would not be what they are without the University to shadow after. In fact, it is viewed by deaf and hearing people alike as the primary resource for all things related to deaf, including fantastic educational and career opportunities; open communication and visual learning; deaf history and culture; American Sign Language; and the impact of technology on the deaf community.…

GettyImages is where I found this photo that relates to one of the topics discussed about in our readings regarding family and people who are a part of Deaf culture. In this photo, a mother is using the ASL sign, “I love you,” To her baby boy, who is paying very close attention to his mother’s hand while she supports him up with the other hand. The mother is equally as focused as her baby, making sure her signing is correct as she ‘speaks’. As I have learned from my Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing instructor in high school, anywhere below the age of three is the most critical time for a child to learn a language as it will become harder for them when they are older. Studies have shown that children who learn ASL as babies (whatever they be deaf, hard-of-hearing,…

I loved the film See What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber, singer; Bob Hiltermann, drummer; Robert DeMayo, actor; and CJ Jones, A Deaf Icon. Once I got home from school, I quickly checked Netflix to see if Netflix carries it. My hopes were crushed. There were not many things about the film I did not like, are how hearing people treated deaf people and what troubles follow four deaf entertainers; a comic, drummer, actor and a singer as they attempt to cross over to mainstream audiences. An example is when a deaf man was looking for apartments in his price range he had to use this video chat and the landlord just hung up on him when the interrupter asked the landlord if they have used one of these video chats. I could not believe it the landlord just hung up. Another example, it is hard enough for hearing people to make it in the acting world, so it must be even hard for deaf people and an African American deaf person too and Robert’s interview about his last interactions with his mom using an interpreter.…
