ANALYSIS OF COMMUNICATION THEORY
1. MUTED GROUP THEORY
a. Introduction
Muted group theory is critical theory concerning the certain groups of who remain powerless compare to the others. Edwin Ardener, a British anthropologist, introduces the concept. His noted contribution in anthropology are the studies on gender and found that the studies made by many ethnographers in the society was generalised to the male population accumulated the finding accepting only one side. The voices of the women and other unheard have been ignored and muted. The narrow perspective to the society ignoring almost half of the population affected the studies of the muted group theory brought a light into the powers of the marginalised in the society.
Another scholar Cheris Kramarae, a professor in women studies upheld the idea that, communication was started by men and due to that reason they take advantage of women. While speaking, women are considered less powerful than men and the

    Artefact of Popular Culture; the Cochlear Implant

    Cochlear implants characterize progress and globalization because they are a technology which attempts to “cure” deafness. The study by Wheeler, Archbold, Gregory, Skipp (2007) concludes “Cochlear implantation is a relatively new procedure, which has already had significant impact on the lives of many profoundly deaf children and adults, in providing useful hearing to those unable to benefit significantly from hearing aids”. The Cochlear implant holds effect in how I interact with society, with out the Cochlear implant I would be profoundly deaf and there for feel too inadequate to socialize among others. The CI has also helped others to understand what…

    The Chosen: Silence Analysis

    Silence serves as a symbol, signifying many things in The Chosen, by Chaim Potok. Throughout the book, Reb Saunders rarely converses with his Danny unless it is about Talmud or their religion. In chapter 18, he says that he did this to teach his son to understand and feel pain and suffering. In addition, he does this because this was the way he was raised by his own father. Reb Saunders wanted his son to grow up with the soul of a tzaddik so that he may be able to feel the suffering all over the world. Nevertheless, it is disputed whether or not Reb Saunders’ method was completely successful because Danny does not seem any more compassionate than Reuven. Also, when Reb Saunders imposed silence upon his family, Danny reluctantly hid things from his father, including his dream of becoming a psychologist instead of a tzaddik. However, at the end of the novel, when Mr. Malter asks him if he will raise his children in silence, he replies that he will if there is no other ways. This shows that Danny does not abhor the way he was raised, but he acknowledges that there are better approaches.…

    Reproductive Specialty Clinic Case Study

    Does it stop here or next do we start genetically modifying embryos so they are taller or smarter or faster. If genetic modifying is used too freely, many problems can arise. In some countries, couples may start to use it to select a certain gender, leading to an extremely uneven gender balance. The ethical side of this is that society strides for a “perfect society” and “perfect babies” and by genetically modifying babies it shows society’s intolerant attitude for the disabled. The disabled greatly resent the fact that people would genetically modify their child to fit society’s view. Society may feel that a deaf person may not led as fulfilling of a life as a hearing person. The disabled community is completely against this view. As it is, deaf students are a lot less likely than blind students to attempt to overcome their respective disability. The deaf students embrace their disability and immerse themselves into their surrounding and supportive community. Someone who is not a part of the deaf community cannot understand the deaf culture. This clinic believes that a hearing person is incapable of seeing this from a deaf persons perspective, while a deaf person is unable to see this from a hearing persons…

    In Surdam Memoriam: Karl Jaekel

    As I read in surdam memoriam: Karl Jaekel, it showed me how society during the 1800’s throughout the 1900’s had a very negative view on Deaf people and sign language. Hard of hearing and or deaf-mute people used to be considered as a lower class. For a family to assume that a deaf child became “Deaf and dumb” by accident was not uncommon. American parents of that day were much more comfortable admitting to congenital than to adventitious deafness in their offspring. Uncle Charlie was enrolled in the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb where he was enrolled in the shoemaking department, one of the three industrial programs open to boys, and the other two were tailoring and printing. They only kept records of the pupils attendance and work instead of academic enrollment and progress. The training programs saved the state of Pennsylvania a great deal of money by putting the pupils to work for the state. Etiology statistics in 1800’s stated that the deaf should be carefully advised in the defect to be transmitted from generation to generation and that the future of their offspring and their own should be prudently considered before entering upon a condition so fraught with possibilities of misfortune and happiness. (Annual Report, 1887-88). The connection between articulation and eugenics is not as transparent today but when Charlie was in school it was widely believed that Deaf people would cease to marry each other if the sign language that they could only communicate with would somehow be wiped out and they were forced to speak. The views are different now in 2011 because the science and generation has grown which has made families more aware as to why certain people are born or become deaf and it is certainly more…

    Deaf People Film Analysis

    Eugenics worked to identify a pure genetic race . They try to disallow people they saw as inferior from enetring the gene pool. Deaf people during the World War 2 era were thought to be a burden that depended too heavily on society. They oftentimes inadvertenly stopped them from reproducing, as they were concerned this could create deaf children. While sterlization laws didnt include deaf people, there are many accounts of families who sterlizied their children. Euginics was finally discarded , but some people believe that their goals still remain today.…

    Audism

    Through this online class, I have learned more about Audism. We had many ways of understanding the meaning and how it affects people. In my own time, one book that I read that had excellent variations of Audism is ‘Triumph of the Spirit.’ One person who stuck out like a sore thumb for being guilty of Audism was Jane Spilman. She was quoted saying that the deaf people were not ready for a deaf president but then back peddles and states the interpreter misquoted her. That quote made many people very angry (deaf and hearing, alike) because it shows that Spilman only cared about her career (typical politician) and how she wanted to run Gallaudet. Another example from ‘Triumph’ was the Board of Trustees before the DPN movement. The people who represented Gallaudet were mostly hearing Trustees and did not understand the Deaf Culture. It wasn’t until the DPN movement that the BOT makeup was altered to have deaf people who understood what the students wanted and needed.…

    Arguments Against Impairment Disability

    Crow insists that acknowledging the positive aspects as well as the negative implications of impairment in impaired people’s lives will lead to a more inclusive and successful disabled people’s movement. Throughout her article, Crow argues that despite the importance of being honest about impairment, this acknowledgement is lacking in the current social model. The Artinians, however, wholly stand by and reinforce this flawed social model by consistently refusing to recognize deafness as an impairment, actively contradicting Crow’s arguments. Moreover, not only do the Artinians, and many other deaf people in Sound and Fury, not think of deafness as an impairment, but they also insist that they are not disabled. Throughout the film, deaf people repeatedly deny the potential benefits of giving a deaf child the ability to hear, maintaining that they live successful and happy lives, unhindered by their inability to hear. Although these claims may be true, the deaf characters in the film fail to admit the reality of their situation: they are limited by this inability to hear. The belief of the Artinians and the others in the deaf community that they are neither impaired nor disabled consequently hinders the movement toward the social change for which Crow is…
