ANALYSIS OF COMMUNICATION THEORY
1. MUTED GROUP THEORY
a. Introduction
Muted group theory is critical theory concerning the certain groups of who remain powerless compare to the others. Edwin Ardener, a British anthropologist, introduces the concept. His noted contribution in anthropology are the studies on gender and found that the studies made by many ethnographers in the society was generalised to the male population accumulated the finding accepting only one side. The voices of the women and other unheard have been ignored and muted. The narrow perspective to the society ignoring almost half of the population affected the studies of the muted group theory brought a light into the powers of the marginalised in the society.
Another scholar Cheris Kramarae, a professor in women studies upheld the idea that, communication was started by men and due to that reason they take advantage of women. While speaking, women are considered less powerful than men and the

    Comparison Of Andrew Jackson And The Anti-Central Bank Of The United States

    In 1775, the Congress printed “continentals,” a paper note that was printed in massive quantities that led to rapidly accelerating inflation, causing them to go out of commission. Later, in 1791, at the urge of then Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, the Congress established the First Bank of the United States, which became the largest company in the nation. The political climate was inclining towards the idea of a central bank again in 1816, so by a narrow margin, the Congress managed to charter the Second Bank of the United States. However, later, Andrew Jackson, an anti-central-bank man, was elected in 1828, and he vowed to stop it. From 1836 to 1865, state-chartered banks and uncharted “free banks” roamed the nation, issuing their…

    The Chosen: Silence Analysis

    Silence serves as a symbol, signifying many things in The Chosen, by Chaim Potok. Throughout the book, Reb Saunders rarely converses with his Danny unless it is about Talmud or their religion. In chapter 18, he says that he did this to teach his son to understand and feel pain and suffering. In addition, he does this because this was the way he was raised by his own father. Reb Saunders wanted his son to grow up with the soul of a tzaddik so that he may be able to feel the suffering all over the world. Nevertheless, it is disputed whether or not Reb Saunders’ method was completely successful because Danny does not seem any more compassionate than Reuven. Also, when Reb Saunders imposed silence upon his family, Danny reluctantly hid things from his father, including his dream of becoming a psychologist instead of a tzaddik. However, at the end of the novel, when Mr. Malter asks him if he will raise his children in silence, he replies that he will if there is no other ways. This shows that Danny does not abhor the way he was raised, but he acknowledges that there are better approaches.…

    In Surdam Memoriam: Karl Jaekel

    As I read in surdam memoriam: Karl Jaekel, it showed me how society during the 1800’s throughout the 1900’s had a very negative view on Deaf people and sign language. Hard of hearing and or deaf-mute people used to be considered as a lower class. For a family to assume that a deaf child became “Deaf and dumb” by accident was not uncommon. American parents of that day were much more comfortable admitting to congenital than to adventitious deafness in their offspring. Uncle Charlie was enrolled in the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb where he was enrolled in the shoemaking department, one of the three industrial programs open to boys, and the other two were tailoring and printing. They only kept records of the pupils attendance and work instead of academic enrollment and progress. The training programs saved the state of Pennsylvania a great deal of money by putting the pupils to work for the state. Etiology statistics in 1800’s stated that the deaf should be carefully advised in the defect to be transmitted from generation to generation and that the future of their offspring and their own should be prudently considered before entering upon a condition so fraught with possibilities of misfortune and happiness. (Annual Report, 1887-88). The connection between articulation and eugenics is not as transparent today but when Charlie was in school it was widely believed that Deaf people would cease to marry each other if the sign language that they could only communicate with would somehow be wiped out and they were forced to speak. The views are different now in 2011 because the science and generation has grown which has made families more aware as to why certain people are born or become deaf and it is certainly more…

    The Deaf In American Voices Summary

    Humphries and Padden in their final chapters envision this dissatisfaction as they quote “Doctors and scientists are approaching a time when they will be able to identify and "correct" genetic deafness, which may lead to the elimination of deaf communities and sign languages. Nevertheless, sign languages are generating more public attention and interest than at any other time in their history. How can two conflicting impulses exist at the same time to eradicate deafness and yet to celebrate it is the most illustrious consequence, the creation, and maintenance of a unique form of human language?” (Armstrong, 2005). While the authors’ appreciation for their being in the deaf culture is seen as a misfortune in the contemporary world, it is this that drew their concerns on the tasty topic of racism that Humphries and Padden considered a confronting factor to the genuine appreciation of being deaf.…

    Sound And Fury Analysis

    In comparison, hearing people speak to communicate. Cochlear implants are controversial amongst the deaf community because they fear that the use of cochlear implants will threaten their established culture and sign language. DEAF SCHOLARThey fear a deaf child with an implant may choose to leave the deaf culture because they are ashamed of their true identity. This may inevitably cause low self-esteem and lack of self-acceptance. The deaf believe cochlear implantation exploits the idea that being deaf is wrong or a disability that needs to be “fixed,” which decreases their potential of living life to its highest potential. Deaf scholar This is a common view of hearing culture, but the deaf community disagrees. A critical aspect of the cochlear implant debate has to do with the concept of deafness and at how hearing people perceive those who are deaf. (Deaf scholar) The deaf community does not think that they have a disability to be cured. They fully embrace their inability to hear and they stress the importance of accepting yourself. DEAF SCHOLAR Those who are hearing assume that spoken language is essential, yet they fail to see the importance of ASL and to understand the needs of the deaf community kind of from perspective of deaf PERSPECTIVE OF DEAF The deaf community also fears cochlear implants will cause separation. When deaf children have the implant, they will likely be exposed to only spoken language and will never learn ASL. FROM DEAEF SCHOLAR Because a child with a cochlear implant may want to speak more often than use ASL, it could potential create a language barrier between the child and the parents. Cochlear implants separate deaf people from deaf culture because they have the ability to hear, whereas their peers do not. Because of this, the deaf community may reject the child as a part of their community. The hearing…

    Audism

    Through this online class, I have learned more about Audism. We had many ways of understanding the meaning and how it affects people. In my own time, one book that I read that had excellent variations of Audism is ‘Triumph of the Spirit.’ One person who stuck out like a sore thumb for being guilty of Audism was Jane Spilman. She was quoted saying that the deaf people were not ready for a deaf president but then back peddles and states the interpreter misquoted her. That quote made many people very angry (deaf and hearing, alike) because it shows that Spilman only cared about her career (typical politician) and how she wanted to run Gallaudet. Another example from ‘Triumph’ was the Board of Trustees before the DPN movement. The people who represented Gallaudet were mostly hearing Trustees and did not understand the Deaf Culture. It wasn’t until the DPN movement that the BOT makeup was altered to have deaf people who understood what the students wanted and needed.…

    Arguments Against Impairment Disability

    Crow insists that acknowledging the positive aspects as well as the negative implications of impairment in impaired people’s lives will lead to a more inclusive and successful disabled people’s movement. Throughout her article, Crow argues that despite the importance of being honest about impairment, this acknowledgement is lacking in the current social model. The Artinians, however, wholly stand by and reinforce this flawed social model by consistently refusing to recognize deafness as an impairment, actively contradicting Crow’s arguments. Moreover, not only do the Artinians, and many other deaf people in Sound and Fury, not think of deafness as an impairment, but they also insist that they are not disabled. Throughout the film, deaf people repeatedly deny the potential benefits of giving a deaf child the ability to hear, maintaining that they live successful and happy lives, unhindered by their inability to hear. Although these claims may be true, the deaf characters in the film fail to admit the reality of their situation: they are limited by this inability to hear. The belief of the Artinians and the others in the deaf community that they are neither impaired nor disabled consequently hinders the movement toward the social change for which Crow is…
