Lesson 13 Video:

The parents continue to argue withthe grandma over whatthey think is best for their child. They often saythatit is her choice, but it seems they are trying to change her opinion, she came to them wanting one and they in a way seemed to manipulate her from that origional thinking. From what I see the only people who want a coclear implant are hearing people and the only people who don't are deaf people.

I think they should have talked to a person who was born deaf, lived for a while in the deaf commmunity, then got a coclear implant. This way they can find out what thhe person thinks as a comparison from past to life with a coclear implant. The people they visited were hearing and had their child fitted for hearing, that situation is not comparable because the child never experienced the other half, so the thinking is bias.

Lesson 13 Deaf Culture Part 2:

- Closed captioning also provides descriptions of sounds.

-Intitially took place in the 1970's

-In 1993 it wasmandated that all television sets 13 inches or larger must contain CC.

-CC benifits a wide variety of people understand what is being sayd, not only deaf. It benifits those learning the language, translating the language and more.

Lesson 13 Deaf Culture 1:

-Some places you can interpret for include schools, colleges, companies, and freelance.

-Becoming a cetrified interpreter varies from state to state.

-To be an interpreter you need to be able to communicate in both languages.

Why does being a certified interpreter vary from state to state? Why isn't it on a national level?

Lesson 12 Video:

The grandmother of one of the deaf children keeps trying to tell her son and his wife to do the cochlear implant. They argued over it multipul times and the grandmother is trying to convince them that bydoing it she will be part of both worlds. The deaf people feel that the idea of taking away his deafness is because they dont accept deaf culture or that the parents think that deaf poeople are stupid.
They did research to find out more and decided to move to Maryland to get their child a better eductaion.

There are many arguments but I agree with the grandmother. Why can't they be part of both worlds? She could communicate with hearing people and deaf people. Most hearing people are very open to deaf people, the only thing is they don't know how to communicate with them, but it seems from watching this thatthe deaf people feel like hearing people are trying to shut them down. I feel like the deaf community is trying to sort of fence in the deaf and take it as a betrayal to leave them, but by getting a cochlear implant they can have a much easier life, and oppertunities. The deaf community is the holding back the oppertunities of the child, making it like there is only one choice, ifthe deaf community was more accepting then you can be part of both worlds!
