I come to discover that deaf people have their own culture, which should be allowed to prosper with all human being.

I honestly feel that we, who are from the hearing world, should attempt to treat deaf people as an equal society, and for them to respect us from the hearing world for not judging them, or to suspect that our motives is simply from being sorry for them, because they have the same feeling as we all do, If it is emotional or physical. Although I believe we all need to take some motivational training and life coaching, so we all can be in an equal harmoniums relationship with one to another. Like all human beings, even deaf people have tantrum, anger and emotional issues that can lead to written abuse / like people from the speaking worked, who use verbal abuse and an physical abuse, those behaviors have nothing to do with being deaf, it has allot to do with ones growing up, witnessing and learning from home or the society and all environment subliminal messages…

I never grow up around deaf people, only lately that I come to work in my hypnotherapy practice with very intelligent deaf people and also have the privilege of socializing with some of them… The point I am making is, that our society tend to separate the deaf from the hearing, and it is not by all mean to hurt them, but it is from lack of knowledge and understanding the other world… The bottom line is that I have come to realize that deaf people is a circumstance and it is not a handicap and any effort to cure that circumstances is like trying to fix something that is not broken, and is a fact, that is why there is no reason to feel sorry for them or treat them differently, they are no different from us.

The deaf community believes that it is a linguistic majority, not disabled. I come to discover that deafness is a tragic medical condition, not a choice we have as a human being. It is like with religion, people tend to separate individual because what religion they were born into, did any one asked the newborn what religion they want to be born into? Did any one asked for their agreement, or approval? NO, They had no say, they just born into it. Deaf people are visual people; they also have their own visual language, social organization, history, and background, which can be challenging to a regular person if they are not familiar with it….

That is why I believe they should be involved… It is the best healthiest thing to do, to create a happy life style for all human being, regardless to religion, race or gender eca. Deaf children and adult faces many obstacles in life, but the lack of communication at home, inferior education in school, discrimination in relationship, employment, are obstacles placed in their way by hearing people who, if only they came to know the deaf community, they could willingly remove this blockage. Deaf people can be fun, distance or too possessive and demanding, when they fear of not having an equal rights as a hearing person is facing them.. Although they identity themselves as highly valued; deaf people seem to have a little difficulty to agree that a hearing person can never fully obtain that identity and become a qualified member of the deaf community without any challenges.

Speech and thoughts like a hearing person are pessimistically valued in deaf culture. Most members of American deaf community are simply baffled when told they are disabled. The audit establishment started being called Hearing-Impaired instead of deaf. Had the deaf community been asked about this they would have learned that “deaf” is not negatively valued – “hearing-impaired” is. “Deaf refers to shared culture, language, and experience; “hearing-impaired” seems to refer to a physical defect that someone outside deaf culture possesses.

Deaf people easily throw temper tantrums because they could not understand what was being said to them by their hearing parents or partners, and both world need to learn to communicate if they chose to share life together.

On a more historical perspective, the audists have devised a five-stage program that has continually forced deaf children to assimilate into a hearing world.

First Stage: is Oralism-this was the late 19th century ban of signed languages and deaf teachers from residential schools.

Second Stage: was called day schools, which were established on a large-scale basis. They were established so that children could live at home in a majority language environment.

Third Stage: the dominance of the majority language is reinforced (in this case English). This stage is often called total communication, where a teacher would use all forms odd communication available so that they may communicate with their deaf pupils.

Fourth Stage: is known as mainstreaming. In this model the deaf students are scattered among the districts local schools for hearing children.

Fifth: final model is the medical model, surgery.

The FDA has approved the cochlear Prosthesis. They have been authorized to conduct surgery on children. Reports have shown that children who receive the cochlear implants are no better at hearing or speaking as the adolescent who uses a hearing aid or becomes deaf later in life.

For the most part, deaf people are no longer considered defective, It is no longer excepted in our hearing world as a bad thing for being deaf, deafness is more and more excepted in our society.
