Deaf People Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
Good morning classmates, to start, I wanna ask you an interesting question… Do you know how many deaf people there are in Colombia? Don’t you know? Ok guys, believe it or not, in Colombia there are 455.718 deaf people, according to the last census in 2005.

I wonder, could they have avoided accidents If they’d worn a vibration watch? The answer is … Yes, they could have, because they’re exposed to many risks on the streets.
Let’s imagine this situation… An ambulance is coming and someone is looking at the semaphore. I bet, the ambulance would have run him or her over If she or he hadn’t had something to warn them.

    From my own perspective, I have never seemed so displaced in my mind about this topic.

    After watching three episodes of Switched at Birth (the persistence of memory, the stag hunt, and uprising, respectively) my knowledge of growing up with any sort of hearing loss, whether that’s total hearing loss or partial, has expanded immensely. Even though I already watch Switched at Birth regularly, going back and re-watching certain episodes reminded me of the daily struggles that deaf people have to live with. Not only regarding any sort of interaction with people who are not only hearing and ignorant; but deaf people also have to fight for simple things such as quality education as I learned in uprising. The first episode I watched was titled the persistence of memory which is episode six of season one, and very important to learning about deaf culture because it explores Daphne, the main character, adjusting to a hearing school while being fully deaf.…

    Deaf Like Me Summary

    The book “Deaf Like Me” by Thomas S. Spradley and James P. Spradley intrigued because it was about a hearing family that had a deaf daughter. I was also interested that the book was written in the perspective of the father. The statistic that vast majority of deaf children are born to hearing parents has always made me fascinated with what each hearing parent has done for their deaf child. I knew that this story would most likely have a happy ending considering the title “Deaf Like Me” I made the inference that maybe his daughter would find inclusion from being emerged in the culture of deaf individuals. “Deaf Like Me” followed the story of the parents Tom and Louise Spradley in the early 1960s.…

    As we discuss communication disorders, it is important to discuss hearing disorders as well; it is essential to include hearing loss and deafness in the conversation in this course, seeing as these two things influence the ability to speak and communicate orally, seeing that hearing helps with acquiring and producing speech and language. A deaf person is a minority in the hearing world and often struggles to exchange information, ideas, feelings with those who are hearing. Thus, it is important to be informed about auditory issues and deaf culture. And the book is another resource to assist in gathering the knowledge on these issues and on the community to best serve individuals who are deaf, to remain cognizant of culturally diverse children and adults and to remain culturally competent. Train Go Sorry is also a reminder that deaf people are people first, just an everyone else who do not fit within the norm.…
