The five senses, sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing are all essential to the survival of humans. Physically, we need senses to gain information about the world around us. For example we need to be able to see a giant cliff to avoid said cliff and by extension, probable death. Our senses allow us to experience the world and not just live in it. Our senses connect us socially to one another and to the world around us. Without our senses, life would be bleak, meaningless. A select few experience a part of this darkness. Those who can’t see, smell, taste, or hear. These people live in a world without some of the amazing things we can take for granted. Bind people obviously can’t see. In addition a slew of safety concerns, not being able to

I would miss music and conversation the most. Never being able to hear that sweet moment when a chord comes together perfectly or the sound of laughter. Music can express feelings and moods I can’t describe. The regeneration and fun that comes with latest pop phenomenon is a feeling that can’t be explained or replicated. Or listening to a song that expresses sorrow and frustration better than words. I would be able to communicate with the people around me, but it could never be the same. It would have to be a effort on both parts. I wouldn’t be able to have speedy, clever banters or listen to a friend vent. Words are powerful as a sundry of authors have made perfectly clear. I would miss being able to listen to others and they way they say things. The changes in the voice unintentionally giving away hidden emotion. I would miss the beauty of being able to bear my soul with another human being though words. An easy conversation, would never be possible again. A level of independence would also have to be given up. I wouldn’t be able to drive, do certain jobs, be in settings with masses of people. Without hearing, life wouldn’t be the …show more content…
Richard T. Miyamoto once said, “One day our patients will be able to tell their own stored, and we will no longer have to convince naysayers that deaf children can listen and speak.” That day has come. Deaf people have assimilated into society. They can communicate and live fairly independently when a few short years ago, no one thought they were smart enough. Perhaps the bravest people in the world are the people living with disabilities. We take for granted the simple everyday tasks senses help accomplish. Like, talking, listening, watching, learning, crossing the street, driving, typing, identifying food, or answering the phone. Living without any sense would be an adjustment, however modern techniques and our other senses make it possible. Hearing would be the easiest to live with out because the world could still be experienced almost in entirety. Living without touch would leave a person isolated and alone from human contact. Smell would take away taste, and a life without taste would not be a world I could live in. Food is too good! Eyesight would be so much harder to live without. Similar adjustments could be made, but I would rather see than hear. On the plus side, if I couldn’t hear I wouldn’t have to listen to teachers lecture, annoying teenage girls gossip or the ghastly sound of nails on a
