Can You See Me Now? Deaf American

By Stefany Anne Golberg

1. Thesis:

A- being deaf is not the inability to hear but rather the ability to perceive in different way from

hearing

B- it is direct

C yes I agree, since the author expresses that being a deef person is only handicap of hearing not

inability of figure out how to live like ordinary individual or better.

2. Supporting Arguments:

A. What are the main arguments or supporting “definitions”? (There may be several:

provide minimum 4)

i). Being deaf is not the inability to hear but rather the ability to perceive life in a different way

from hearing people.

ii). …if one accepts the argument that Deaf is an ethnicity, aren’t plans to eradicate it to be seen

as an act of genocide? And even if Deafness is a choice, does this make it any less valid than,

say, Judaism? Many of the qualities we hold inviolable, as true to our identities, to our

“ethnicities,” are mutable, after all.

iii). Deaf identity is based not on religion, race, or class, say the authors, but “there is no more

authentic expression of an ethnic group than its language.” And language is the core of American

Deaf life.

iv). Recognizing signals as sound is not a restoration of complete hearing capacity, but cochlear

implants do seem to help those who want to better perceive sound, as well as increase their

ability to communicate orally.

B. Are these arguments or definitions persuasive? Why or why not?

Yes. The arguments try to compare because they try to provide exact solutions to a long time

problem. Each argument ends in a manner that one can also provide further description or raise

questions. For instance, argument number (ii) above, a reader can raise some questions about the

nature of the deafness to challenge the activists opinion.

5. Critical Thinking: Why is this term important? Consider all aspects: to the text, to you,

to various audiences, culturally, socially, globally (write a complete paragraph)

Critical thinking doesn't involve aggregating data. One with a decent memory and who

knows a ton of certainties isn't really great at basic reasoning. A basic mastermind can reason

results from what he knows, and he knows how to make utilization of data to tackle issues, and

to look for pertinent wellsprings of data to advise oneself. Critical thinking is an area general

reasoning expertise. The capacity to think plainly and reasonably is critical whatever we do. In

the event that you work in training, examine, fund, administration or the lawful calling, at that

point basic reasoning is clearly imperative. Be that as it may, it also aptitudes are not limited to a

specific branch of knowledge. Having the capacity to think well and take care of issues

deliberately is an advantage for any profession.
