Abstract

This article studies children with unilateral hearing loss i.e. deafness in one ear while having low or complete normal other ear. The studies are made to understand the relationship of students with unilateral hearing loss and how it effects their academic performance and what types of steps should be taken in order to normalize the classrooms for both types of students. Unilateral hearing loss in the past was considered to have little consequence on their academic performance, but recent research has shown it affects the proper development of language and speech skills. This is shown to Continue reading...

Dear Peter and Nita Artenian,

How are you? I am so happy to meet you, even through a letter. I am a university freshman who is studying different cultures this semester. We have been viewing the documentary Sound and Fury in one of my classes. I learned a great deal from the film, it was very courageous for you and your family to allow the documentary to be made. Thank you for that. Self-identity is something I am struggling with while taking classes at the university. I am learning so many new things, that I am making a lot of decisions about how I Continue reading...

The history of education for deaf people in the United States started in the early 1800s when the Cobb School was established in 1815 in New England (Crouch and Greenwald). Until that time, wealthy colonists sent their hearing impaired children to England for education. Although the Cobb School closed after less than two years, the American School for the Deaf was founded in 1817 in Hartford, Connecticut; it was started by a man who had trained at the school for the deaf in England and an assistant teacher who came back with him who was deaf himself.

American Sign Language

Sign language is a crucial part of the deaf people as it is the only way they can communicate. However, many deaf people undergo challenges while communicating as most hearing people do not understand the sign language. Therefore, this means that they live in their world just seeing what happens but cannot be told.
In the movie ‘Sound and Fury’, the importance of deaf culture and the fear that the deaf have for hearing is evident. Most of the deaf characters seem to enjoy living in the deaf world. Maybe it is because they fear changing their identity as Continue reading...

Ask anyone which Senate Judiciary Confirmation hearing they recall off the top of their head and most would say that of Judge Clarence Thomas. Unlike the usual, mundane process of vetting a judge to the United States Supreme Court, this hearing in particular took an unexpected and dramatic turn. It made headlines and scored television ratings that surpassed even the most popular prime-time series and gave pre-empted daytime dramas a run for their money.
The nomination, in and of itself, was historic on so many levels. If confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Thomas would be the second African Continue reading...

Group Counselling Journal #2: Group Therapy

Metaphor for this Session
For describing this session, I will choose two metaphors: I will call one of them a “personal metaphor”, and the second one a “session metaphor”. The metaphors would best describe my personal dynamics during the session such as arriving somehow late to a distinction after a long process journey. I never thought that I would be able to travel that far with my emotions. Even though this was the last session before ending the therapy, it had moved me to an area that I never thought that I can be. The reason why I chose “ Continue reading...

Ludwig van Beethoven’s 5th Symphony

In order for one to grasp the sheer, immense talents of Ludwig van Beethoven, it must first be understood just how much of a musical genius he was. He is considered one of the greatest composers of our time. What makes Beethoven’s story so unique is the fact that he experienced hearing loss due to tinnitus and also brought on by a febrile illness. Although not formally diagnosed, Beethoven made this known in letters to close friends. His hearing loss was slowly progressive; giving him some measure of being able to still conduct and compose but remained a Continue reading...

Philosophers have long debated about the mind-body problem and the role of the soul and the consciousness in this problem. It was Aristotle who first attempted to explain this problem in his work ‘De Anima,’ wherein he endeavored to convince the reader about the relationship between the mind and the body, through theories that he introduced as well as through theories in vogue in those times. In his article, Thomas Nagel talks about the roles that consciousness and reduction play in complicating the mind-body problem. This essay will begin by reflecting on the aspects of consciousness and reductionism as Continue reading...
