Cochlear Implants Character Analysis
Class Status:

1. How does poverty and class status impact young children?
I think any child is not able to protect themselves regardless of class status or poverty, but children falling into groups belonging to low classes and poverty are even more at risk in matters not just of growth and development but of existence in general. I am glad that there are various state programs ( WIC, SNAP, Welfare and so on) which supporting families with low incomes, but in general, none of these programs can change the whole picture of poverty and the needs of such families. Reality and statistics clearly show that the chances of a child born in such an environment to grow up healthy and prosperous are extremely insignificant.

2.Why is the video about more than Cochlear Implants?
This video is more about a specific group of people who have hearing problems and are a minority group, in relation to people who do not face such problems.
3. Who has the privilege or who is the dominant group in this movie? Why? This film represents a dominant group as those people who have the ability to hear and communicate without sign language or Cochlear Implant, or has the opportunity to fix hearing problems by this Implant. Because the ability to hear in this context is accepted as a privilege. Also, the film shows a separate group of people who do not agree with this opinion and defend their point of view.
4. Who are those without privilege? Why? Those who, due to the age, medical contraindications or the lack of parental consent, can not put themselves this implant. Because this deprives them of the opportunity to be like everyone else, to hear and communicate like people who do not have hearing problems.
5. Discuss the power and privilege

What were your previous assumptions regarding the members of the Nations response to 911?
I consider the appeal and reminder of the President that people of the country are immigrants from different countries and cultures, very sensible and timely. Despite everything, I agree that in any case, every person should personally answer for what s/he has done, and not the entire country, nation, or family 3. What are your thoughts on how the country responded to members of the Sikh community in association with 911?
My thouths are, the agression to the individual race, nations groups is much more real than it seems and is directly related to what is happening in the country and how the government reacts to it. In this case country showed both sides of the face. On the one hand, life-threatening aggression and hostility towards the Sikhs, ( and all Arabic) allegedly justified by tragedy. On the other hand, the ability of people to empathize and unite to protect the innocent.

    Four common characteristics of minorities that underpin affiliation are (1) the group shares a common physical or cultural characteristic such as skin color or language, (2) individuals identify themselves as members of the minority and others identify them in that way, (3) there is a tendency to marry within the minority, and (4) minority members suffer oppression. To a large extent, members of the Deaf minority also share a common language (ASL in the U.S.) and, because of their common physical characteristic, that language will never die out. On the second count, Deaf people do indeed identify themselves as culturally Deaf and, third, they marry Deaf nine times out of ten. Both Carlin`s and Luczak`s poems, for example, reflect the opposite oppression that members of the Deaf World experience. In some ways like the members of other language…

    I loved the film See What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber, singer; Bob Hiltermann, drummer; Robert DeMayo, actor; and CJ Jones, A Deaf Icon. Once I got home from school, I quickly checked Netflix to see if Netflix carries it. My hopes were crushed. There were not many things about the film I did not like, are how hearing people treated deaf people and what troubles follow four deaf entertainers; a comic, drummer, actor and a singer as they attempt to cross over to mainstream audiences. An example is when a deaf man was looking for apartments in his price range he had to use this video chat and the landlord just hung up on him when the interrupter asked the landlord if they have used one of these video chats. I could not believe it the landlord just hung up. Another example, it is hard enough for hearing people to make it in the acting world, so it must be even hard for deaf people and an African American deaf person too and Robert’s interview about his last interactions with his mom using an interpreter.…

    In the movie, “Audism Unveiled,” they were many testimonials of different deaf people explaining their stories of oppression simply because of the fact that they're deaf or hard of hearing. Deaf people often have difficulty communicating with the hearing world and thus, they have been looked down upon with sympathy. They need to be healed. They're disabled. They can't have the same jobs as hearing people. It's sickening how deaf people get treated.…

    As stated before, not knowing anything about the Deaf culture I was committed to learning as much as I could through this short film to expand my knowledge in the Deaf culture. I learned through the film that people who are Deaf have absolutely no problem with not being able to hear and having to talk using Sign Language. The Deaf communities do not consider being Deaf as flawed or even disabled, but believe they were born Deaf for a reason. The Deaf communities consider Sign Language as their own culture or even heritage - just like any other heritage that may practice their own language with others of the same…

    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…

    As the movie continues, his parents find out that he is deaf.

    Hearing people are mostly on time whereas deaf people are more flexible with time. In hearing culture, If a party is organized people would come on time and leave at midnight. But in deaf culture, people can come in late and the party usually goes on and on, not necessary to end at midnight. Also, the way people take time to say goodbye are different in both cultures. Hearing people usually leave right away after saying goodbye. In contrast, deaf people are more attached to each other. It really takes time for them to leave. They say goodbye but don't leave yet, instead they keep talking to each other and won't leave until the third or fourth goodbye. Deaf people take longer to say goodbye because they don't have as many chances as hearing people to talk to each other and they prefer face to face communication. In the movie, the actors acted really well demonstrating this different attitude and I really enjoyed watching how amusing their acting was.…
