The Global Village
Thinking of the world close up, as if it were a village of one hundred people, forces us to confront what we mean we say “we”.
…How often does our we come to include people of other faiths, other nations, other races? How often does our we link rather than divide? Our relations with the “other” may move through a number of phases. First we talk about them—an objective “other.” Then perhaps we talk to them, or more personally, we talk to you. And finally, we all talk with one another about us, all of us. This is the critical stage to which our…dialogue must take us if we are to be up to the task of creating communication adequate for an interdependent world.
If the world was a village of 100 people,
In the village would be:
57 Asians
14 Africans
12 Europeans
6 North Americans
7 Latino Americans (Central and South Americans)
3 Australians/Oceanians
1 Caribbean Islander
There would be:
33 Christians
22 Muslims
15 Hindus
4 Chinese Folk Religionists
6 Buddhists
6 Other Religions
14 Atheists or Nonreligious
If the world were a global village of 100 people, one third of them would be rich or of moderate income, two thirds would be poor.
Of the 100 people, 5 of them would be U.S. Americans. These 5 would have over a third of the village’s entire income, and the other 95 would subsist on the other two thirds.
Of the 100 residents, 47 would be unable to read, and only one would have a college education.
About 35 would be suffering from hunger and malnutrition, at least half would be homeless or living in substandard housing.
How could the wealthy live in peace with their neighbors? Surely they would be driven to arm themselves against the other 95, perhaps even spend as U.S. Americans do, about twice as much per person on military defense as the total income of two thirds of the villagers.
The casual we for most of us does not include the 50 percent hungry, the 60 percent in shantytowns, and the 70 percent illiterate. Most of us construct our we without including them. Thinking of the world close up, as if it were a village of one hundred people, forces us to confront what “we” really means.

The Deaf Culture: Is it Really a Culture at All
Carol Padden has defined Culture as a set of learned behaviors of a group of people who have their own language, values, rules of behavior, and traditions. (1988)
Culture results from a group of people coming together to form a community around shared experience, common interests, shared norms of behavior, and shared survival techniques. Such groups as the deaf seek each other out for social interaction and emotional support.
The essential link to Deaf Culture among the American deaf community is American Sign Language. This community shares a common sense of pride in their Culture and language. There exists a rich heritage and pride in the ability t.
The document discusses concepts related to deafness and sign language. It provides information on Filipino Sign Language (FSL) including that it is the natural sign language of Filipino Deaf communities and is used to communicate and express creativity.

The document also discusses the difference between viewing deafness from a medical perspective versus a socio-cultural perspective where deaf people are respected as a cultural group with their own language and identity.
This document provides information about deaf culture and American Sign Language (ASL). It discusses key terms like Deaf, deaf, hard of hearing and hearing. ASL is described as the official language of deaf culture and has no written form.

Chapter 19 Reading:Working with Deaf Clients: An Interview with Valentino Vasquez and Johanna Larson
19-1Our Interviewees
19-1
Valentino Vasquez, MA, is a third-generation Latino who was born deaf in a Spanish-speaking extended family. His wife is deaf and their two children are hearing. As a child, he attended a deaf and hard-of-hearing program within a mainstream public school and attended Gallaudet University for several years. He teaches American Sign Language (ASL) and Deaf Culture courses in the Communication Disorders and Sciences program at the University of Oregon. He is involved with organizations supporting the Deaf community, both on-campus and off.
Johanna Larson, MS, is a native ASL speaker whose second language is English. She is the eldest hearing daughter of profoundly deaf parents in an extended Northern European American family with many other deaf members. Her father became deaf from spinal meningitis at age 3. Her parents met at Gallaudet University. She teaches basic linguistic principles of ASL, as well as Deaf Culture and Community Studies in the Communication Disorders and Sciences program at the University of Oregon.
19-1aThe Interview
Question:
Would you give a brief overview of “Deaf Culture,” including your participation and relationship to Deaf culture?
Vasquez:
This really relates to language as well as identity, including values, perceptions, and beliefs, as well as social customs. In Deaf culture, the language is ASL—using a manual communication as opposed to a spoken language communication. I participate in Deaf culture through the Oregon Association of the Deaf, Oregon Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, and socializing with members of the Deaf community. Sometimes Jo and I will host Deaf events, such as performers or speakers. We reach out to the Deaf community and invite them to attend these events, and that becomes part of our Deaf community and therefore our Deaf culture.
One example of Deaf culture would be social customs. For example, when an event is over, people often notice that Deaf people stay well after closing hours. The lights will go off and people will say, “You all need to leave,” and Deaf people tend to stay, whereas hearing people will leave on time. Deaf people often will go out of the building, but then we’ll stand outside under the street lights and continue the conversations. It’ll whittle down until the last person is there. That’s a really big part of Deaf culture.
I’m involved with the Deaf community here in Oregon with a few organizations that support the Deaf, for example, the Oregon Association for the Deaf (OAD) and the Oregon Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (ORID). Here on campus at the University of Oregon, I’m involved with the Disability Studies Advisory Board, which advises and suggests courses that can be used for a Disability Studies minor. The ASL sequence and the ASL culture course is part of that minor.

Question:
How do you see Deaf culture as similar to, ...
This document discusses deafness and the Deaf community. It notes that around 9 million people in the UK are deaf or hard of hearing, representing about 1 in 7 people, and there are approximately 50,000 British Sign Language users. The Deaf community is considered a linguistic and cultural minority similar to an ethnic group. The document then profiles two individuals, Petra and Paul, who have different relationships with deafness and the Deaf community. It also briefly discusses sign languages around the world and the history of technology used by deaf individuals to communicate. Finally, it outlines some popular social media sites for the Deaf community.
This document provides guidelines for using People First Language when referring to individuals with disabilities. It emphasizes referring to the person first rather than the disability, such as "person with a disability" rather than "disabled person." The guide offers preferred and avoided terms across a range of disabilities from autism to stroke. It explains that People First Language focuses on abilities and treats disabilities respectfully without defining the individual. The purpose is to reduce stigma and foster inclusion of people with disabilities.
This workshop covered cross-cultural communication and competency. The goals were to increase awareness of how cultural differences affect communication and increase competence in communicating effectively across cultures. Various terms related to culture and communication were defined. Components of non-verbal communication were discussed. Bias-free discussion and developing competency were also covered. The workshop concluded that understanding communication styles and cultural influences is important for building relationships across cultures and using bias-free language promotes effective cross-cultural communication.
this PPT points out verbal communication and the way people speak. it covers involvement, directness and indirectness, and many other style f communication
This document proposes a solution to help hearing and speech impaired individuals communicate with others. It notes that about 15% of the world's population has some disability. The proposed solution is a gesture recognition device that would intake gestures and output text, allowing hearing and speech impaired people to communicate through gestures that are translated to text. This would help overcome communication barriers and allow those with disabilities to have greater opportunities. The device would work by capturing and interpreting human gestures and matching them to commands in a predetermined gesture library.
This document provides an overview of Deaf World and Deaf culture. It discusses important figures like Thomas Gallaudet who helped establish education for the Deaf. It explores the history of American Sign Language and compares Deaf and hearing cultures. The document also addresses common misconceptions and what is currently happening in the Deaf community, such as increasing awareness and the role of Gallaudet University.
This document provides an overview of Deaf World and Deaf culture. It discusses important figures like Thomas Gallaudet who helped establish education for the Deaf. It also explores the history of American Sign Language and compares Deaf and hearing cultures. The document seeks to dispel common misconceptions and provide context on the experience of Deafness as not a disability but as a difference. It concludes with a brief look at what is currently happening in the Deaf community.
This document discusses differences in verbal communication and conversational styles across cultures. It notes that some cultures value high involvement styles while others prefer high considerateness. Directness versus indirectness is also culturally determined. Americans tend to be more direct while Chinese and Japanese prefer indirectness. There are also differences between American male and female communication styles. Understanding these differences can help avoid ethnocentric judgments and improve cross-cultural interactions.
The document discusses the Deaf world and culture. It notes that there are over 30 million deaf people in the USA alone, and that deafness is not a disability but rather a difference in experience. It provides an overview of important figures in deaf history and education, the development of American Sign Language, differences between hearing and deaf cultures, and current aspects of deaf culture and advocacy. It seeks to clarify common misconceptions and highlight the rich community and language of deaf identity and culture.
This document provides principles for powerful persuasion. It discusses melting resistance by finding common ground and using humor carefully. It also discusses molding opinions by knowing the audience and their interests, presenting information professionally and personally, and making the argument clear. Finally, it discusses hardening and igniting the audience by believing in the cause, summarizing key points, and making a specific request. The overall message is the importance of understanding the audience, presenting credible information clearly and concisely, and inspiring action.
American Sign Language is a visual language with its own unique grammar and syntax rules, not a visual form of English. It originated in the United States, not France or England. Alexander Graham Bell is known as the "boogeyman" in deaf culture due to his role in advocating against the use of sign language. Not all deaf people can lip read, and one should get a deaf person's attention by tapping their shoulder, not yelling or waving in their face. A name sign is given to you by a deaf person, not made up or part of an initiation ritual. The document discusses various identities within deaf communities such as deaf, Deaf, deafblind, late-deafened, HOH, hearing, oral
Interpersonal Communication Deaf Culture PresentationKaylee Teixeira
1) The document discusses the pathological and cultural views of deafness and how most deaf people do not want to be "fixed" with cochlear implants.
2) It provides a history of deaf education in America from Martha's Vineyard to residential schools and the development of Deaf culture and American Sign Language.
3) Oppression of the deaf community included the banning of sign language, eugenics efforts, and restrictions on driving and marriage that continued into the 20th century.
4) The document outlines important aspects of Deaf culture and community including clubs, sports, technology, resistance movements, and prominent Deaf figures.
Advancing Equity and Inclusion for Deaf Students in Higher Education3Play Media
This document discusses advancing equity and inclusion for deaf students in higher education. It notes that deaf students experience isolation and barriers to participation in campus activities due to a lack of accommodations and support services. The document calls for systemic changes to structures, relationships, and attitudes to improve accessibility, inclusion and belonging for deaf students on campus. This includes centralized accessibility systems, campus-wide training, transparent policies, and including deaf students in decision-making. The goal is for colleges to move beyond legal compliance and ensure deaf students have a holistic college experience through meaningful inclusion.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
