    One influential part of Deaf culture is the schools for the deaf. These schools can give specific help to their students because they all use the same language and can relate to each other. Students do not need to worry about using an interpreter to understand their teachers and peers, and they can surround themselves with people with similar experiences. Most students with cochlear implants attend hearing schools, where they do not receive this same treatment and may fall behind (Rich et al.…

    Deaf Like Me Summary

    • 711 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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.…

    The movie also showed the different ways of life that deaf people live, which really isn't much different from the lives of hearing people at all. Technically the hearing can still relate to Deaf people even though the Deaf cannot hear. Deaf people can act, make friends, get jobs, Have families, and go to school. In my opinion it really isn't that big…

    For example on page 51 , yet again Celie takes the role of being a mother to another female taking care of Shug Avery, washing and combing her short, knotty hair, swooning over her reedy long limbs and dark black skin. She plays with Shug Avery as if ‘’ she were a doll or her baby Olivia’’. As soon as Celie encounters Shug , we get the sense that she already harbours some type of compelling sexual desire for her. "First time I got the full sight of Shug Avery" she says "I thought I had turned into a man," and from the description that is given by Celie, we can see that Shug Avery is a big element in bringing Celie out of her "tree" like emotionless state and bringing her back to life . Shug and Celie’s relationship is based on damaging mutual experiences where both shelter each other in times of crisis.…

    However, a distinction needs to be made between “enhancement” and “disability,” especially when it comes to deafness within children. In the eyes of the parents (who both happen to be deaf), they genuinely believe that if their child is born with the same traits as the parents such as deafness or blindness, it will improve the quality or even value of their child. However, I would argue that it was in the parent’s self interest when selecting trait for their child that the intent was for a good cause, but the end result is that it is inflicting harm to their child which have repercussions that can have an impact on the child who is suffering from this…

    This view alone stands as discrimination and is understood by the deaf community as such. Further, it leads to other discriminatory practices, such as rejection by the potential employer based on the assumption that communication would be difficult and for it a deaf person cannot be as productive as the hearing person. These views, perpetuating in the hearing world are hurtful to the Deaf minority as they push them to be the outsiders. There is a growing number of hearing-impaired individuals who regard themselves as a cultural minority. As such, they demand to be treated as one would treat any ethnic or religious minority.…
