The movie is about a family trying to decide whether or not to get a cochlear implant. It shows the perspective of deaf people. It also shows the perspective of hearing people. It shows the struggles of the family in making the decision.

I think that they should do the cochlear implant on their child. The girl asked about it, she wanted it. The family is deaf and they don't know what they are missing. The girl shopuld be exposed to everything the world can offer, and she can be. But the parents because they are deaf they don't think its a good idea. They think she can be successful and she absolutly can even without it, but she will not have the sdame oppertunities as hearing, she will have more challenges and limits.

Lesson 11 Deaf Culture:

-Cochlear implants have a portion that must be placed surgically.

-Implant doesn't restorer normal hearing.

-Coclear implants are very different from hearing aide, hearing aids amplify sounds, coclear implants bypass damaged parts and stimulate the auditory nerve.

-Process of getting a cochlear implant usually requires MRI, X-rays and counseling.

For- It can provide a sense of sound, for example, if in a fire and the alarm goes off, the person could hear it and understand there is an  emergency situation. It also is very beneficial to young children.

Against- It's a long process that requires surgery and doesn't work all that well.

Im for it in some situations but I don't think anyone has to get one to live their life. It may make it easier on a young child, and provide a sense of sound, but the sound is different. Its up to the person to decide if its for them or not.

-another baby was born deaf and her mother wanted to put him into a hearing program.
-deaf people are skeptical about coclear implants and seem to frown upon it because then your not hearing or deaf and its like a sign of weakness because it "shows your uncomfortable" and not proud to be deaf.

Lesson 10- Deaf Culture

-most of the hearing people believe the biggest difference between hearing and deaf is one group hears and the other cannot.

-Another difference I heard was the culture.

Lesson 10-Grammar

-loan signs are signs that have been borrowed from other sign languages.
-common loan signs come from countries that refer to themselves differently. For example people in america used to use a sign referring to the chinese using their eyes, the chinese used a different sign so many americans now refer to the chinese that way to be more respectful.
-I see loan signs as a way of better describing a word to get its meaning across, if another language effectivly does that then maybe you can try using that sign.
