Lesson 8 Deaf Video:
The video is about a day in the life of a deaf person. It shows all these different perspectives. It starts with getting up and brushing teeth ect. Then it talks about what they do at school. After that it gets into personality, what the people are like, what they like to do. Then they talk about how they communicate with their friends, and how they meet new people. They are friends with both hearing and deaf. It also talks about the challenges of ordering food.
I love that the video shows different perspectives. This makes it much more well rounded. You can see each of their interactions in the world. I think its great that a lot of people who didn't know sign that knew people who were deaf were willing to learn. Its great to have a balance of communication between both parties. It sucks that they have such difficulty communicating when they go out to eat. I knew most of this because I am such close friends with someone who is deaf, but I did get so see into the lives of other people.

For generations the deaf have not been given fair treatment in issues regarding criminal justice. Because people who are deaf have difficulty communicating with hearing people, the situation can be interpreted completely wrong. The police even though they know their is a deaf person, they may not bring an interpreter. This results in much miscommunication. Deaf people are not treated well and are often charged with a crime they didn't commit. Many deaf people also report that accommodations were not made when they were arrested to allow them to communicate. Police officers are only given 6 hours to learn all the information regarding disabilities.
People like Jason Tozier, were denied interpreters.Maria Dollhopf was also denied an interpreter and had to wait 24 hours without communication. Philip Wolfe, escaped a domestic dispute, he had a friend contact the police and they didn't help because they didn't bring an interpreter, later that night the person threatening him came back and harmed him again. HEARD (Helping to Educate the Rights of the Deaf) is working to help improve these situations.
I am deeply saddened by the injustice shown towards deaf people. And the fact that no one else has tried to help other than HEARD is disappointing. The government should make better accommodations for their disabled people, not just deaf, but anyone with a disability. They should be permitted to use their hands to sign, they should always have an interpreter. These are just the basics! The fact that its so hard to get just the BASICS is ridiculous. This opinion of mine hasn't changed by racing the article, but the article has given me a better perspective on the subject. This article interested me because I have a deaf friend and I want to know how they would treat her.

Lesson 8 Deaf History:
Thomas met a young girl who was his deaf neighbor. The parents of the girl Alice asked him to help find a way to educate her, although she was already very bright. He started an american deaf school. He brought deaf education to america and the school he established Gallaudet University which is still used today.
