ILY, Bott.
too.
ILY, Bott.
Bottesini: I was in ASL Introduction - a few years ago. As for heel clicking-no comment.
Still waiting to find out how can one can be "non pathological physical deaf"? Do I have this "condition" vs audiological since becoming bilaterally deaf-December 20, 2006? Does it differ from silence which to me is real?

Unfortunately, that (bolded part) is the case with a lot of things. Look at all the signs, warnings, etc because of this litigation happy society.I read more of the book. Some of the questions posed (and the corresponding answers) are roll-your-eyes obvious, some not so obvious (educational), and a few actually somewhat irritates me.
Interesting bathroom book nonetheless.
Maybe you should get the book I was inquiring about...if you're truly interested in learning about deaf culture.Bottesini: the "deaf/cultural" world seems to "exist" for me- only here in Alldeaf.com. I understand from newspapers it exists in small groups in parts of the country re: uproar about whether "hearing parents" should "allow the implant operation" on their "deaf babies/children". Outside of that - it has some "theoretical" interest within the context of Sociology- section: culture. Is there something called "hearing" culture as well? IS it really the converse of "deaf culture"?
Oddly enough when I actually studied Sociology at long time ago-using a Canadian textbook;Hagedorn et al, HRW Toronto, 1980- none of this-"deaf culture" is mentioned.
But you still have the mind/attitude of a hearie and don't seem to want to learn about deaf culture.I have been bilaterally deaf only 4 years now-not exactly a "hearie".

Jillio: the book was copyrighted in 1996 by the 3 authors which is normally publication date.
LoveBlue: The book that I keep referring to: a journey into the DEAF- WORLD is in my local library. It has either 15 or 16 chapters. Lots of information/hypotheses written.True? another matter! In Ch 14-a discussion whether deaf couples should be allowed to have children. Plus an extended discussion of whether hearing parents should be allowed to have their deaf babies implanted. This topic appears to have discussed here in Alldeaf.com. Not exactly boring reading-to say the least.
Is this book a reflection of the "cultural deaf community" beliefs-today? Cochlear Implants are "instruments of genocide"-only to babies? Adults?
Purely hypothetical discussion-of course except for the 3 authors who aren't members of Alldeaf.com.
It seems 'deaf culture" keeps referring back to "hearing culture". Why? Can it be a "way" of viewing our society- is this a valid perception- world wide?

Change drags you kicking and screaming, whether you want to go or not. :P
Jillio: the text book was written in 1980 not 1950. I took the course in 1985 at Centennial College and passed with a "B". I acknowledge I haven't taken: Neurology/Anthropology nor linguistics to "study deaf culture". Unaware of this.
Since becoming bilaterally deaf in 2006- I guess I am no longer a "valid member of the hearing culture". Not sure if I am now a member of "implant culture"? Never heard of this yet. No mention of this by Sunnybrook/Toronto Cochlear Implant section either. Surprised that even Advanced Bionics hasn't sent any info on this! Not even mentioned in their latest User guide. Must be secret!
