Welcome! Blog #1: 001
WELCOME! ARE YOU IN THE RIGHT SECTION????
Deaf people and sign language are sometimes displayed by the media. For this blog posting, I want you to view how the media portrays Deaf people. I have selected five commercials for you to watch. These commercials all use sign language as their primary communication method. I want you to watch there commercials and think about what message they are sending about Deaf Culture and Deaf people. Do you feel these commercials show the strengths of Deaf people and their language? Who were these commercials for? Did they reach both the hearing world and deaf world? Which commercial(s) do you think portrayed the best image of Deaf people and their culture? Which do you think portrayed the worst? Support your responses.
