Electronic Media in the 20th Century: Annotated Bibliography
Parker, Steve. 20th Century Media: 1990s Electronic Media.
Milwaukee, WI: Gareth
Stevens Publishing, 2002. Print.
In this brief overview of the 1990s, the author presents basic
information about
electronic media that developed or became popular in the last
decade of the 20th century. Each section of the book covers a
different topic, such as cell phones, television, compact discs,
and on-line music, the virtual world, and, of course, computers,
the WEB and the Internet. Although there is some text, most of
the content is color photographs. A time line, a glossary, an
index, other books to read, and a list of web sites are additional
features. The main ideas in this book can be used to provide an
outline of possible topics, but there is not enough text to help
with in-depth research. Other sources were more current and
more valuable to my topic.
Although there is no information about the author in this book,

5. an Internet search revealed that Mr. Parker has written many
books on biology, technology, and the general sciences. He also
does presentations and workshops for schools and libraries. His
credentials make me think that I can trust the information in the
book.

Depression Among Culturally Deaf Adults." Journal Of

Sheppard, Ph.D. RN APN – BC & Badger, Ph.D. RN PMHCNS
FAAN, employed the use of qualitative interviews to test their
hypothesis that members of the deaf culture experience some
depressive symptoms and the interpretation of the data was
carried out with help of certified interpreters. The findings of
the study were in line with the hypothesis of the study because
they indicated that the deaf individuals have communication
barriers, which leads to depressive symptoms due to abuse, low
self-esteem, isolation, and cases of inadequate health with.
Some of the childhood experiences that lead to depression for
culturally deaf adults include feeling like a burden in the
family, physical or sexual abuse, and feeling family ostracism.

Joyceann Fileccia, PhD, RN, CNS, LCPC, LCCC, employs the
se of this article to give a discussion the community of the deaf
people, the health care needs based on the deaf culture, and the
lack of the recognition of the deaf culture as a culture of its
own, by the health care providers. The failure of the recognition
of health care provider’s recognition of the culture thus results
in the provision of health care that is not culturally sensitive to
the deaf society. This leads to disparities in the provision of
care.

Perceptions And Psychological Well-Being In Deaf Adolescents
With Cochlear Implants." Cochlear Implants International: An
Interdisciplinary Journal 13.2 (2012): 93-104. Academic Search
Complete. Web. 11 Mar. 2014.
Jennifer Mance and Linsey Edwards studied the relationship
between self-perception and psychological well-being among
adolescents who had undergone cochlea implants with cochlear
implants, relative to the perceptions such youths had on deaf
signing, hearing, and in oral communication with deaf peers.
Repertory grid technique was used for self-perception
determination while Beck Youth Inventory was employed in the
case of well-being assessment. The results indicate that better
psychological well-being has a correlation with association with
any of the peers. However, better psychological-well being is
associated with association with the hearing peers compared to
association with non-hearing peers.
