A Sign of Respect - Part 1 Unit 11 - Exercise 11a by Thomas K. Holcomb and Anna Mindess, Copyright © 2017 Eye2Eye Productions Please type your response. Then save and submit as directed by your instructor. Choice Point 11a: No one answers the door Question 1 of 2 What was your first answer choice? ____ A__x__B____C Explain why you made that choice: Carol was expecting Amy, so it is fair to assume she is at home. Entering the home but keeping a safe and respectful boundary is the best option. Question 2 of 2 Generally speaking, Deaf people do not give up easily when it comes to visiting their friends. When there is no answer at the door, Deaf people usually do everything possible to see if the person is home before leaving. Typically, the first course of action would be to text this person. If there is no response, it would not be unusual for the deaf person to walk into the house (if the door is unlocked), or look through the windows for any sign of presence. How would you feel if a Deaf friend of yours did that at your house? Conversely, do you think you would be able to do this when attempting to visit a Deaf friend’s house? I would feel startled to see them inside but I understand that it is normal for their culture. I think knowing now that it is acceptable I would feel comfortable doing so myself.

Then save and submit as directed by your instructor. Question 1 of 1 As the narrator explained in Choice Point 11a, in Deaf culture many people would consider it acceptable to cautiously open the door and enter a friend’s house if the doorbell brought no response. How does this compare to your family and/or ethnic group? Would this be considered acceptable or not? Explain. I have many hearing friends who leave their door unlocked for people to come and go as they please. My own home, however, we keep our door locked unless we are explicitly expecting someone. I would say that in my family this would not be acceptable, but in others it might be. I think this circumstance is a case by case dilemma.

Then save and submit as directed by your instructor. Choice Point 11b: Asking a personal question Question 1 of 2 What was your first answer choice? ____ A____B _x___C Explain why you made that choice: The first two choices felt awkward, like she was asking an inappropriate question. Singling out the fact that Carol canto hear and acting so surprised is rude; making sure our intentions come off as genuinely curious rather than demeaning is best. Question 2 of 2 Deaf people are known for being direct. How comfortable are you about being specific and direct with your inquiries? I think being specific and direct is the easiest choice, it leaves little room for confusion and misunderstandings. And how comfortable are you about getting asked questions that are rather direct and personal? I think I am fairly comfortable answering personal questions. I think being direct allows us to understand each other better.

Choice Point 11c: Non-signers at the door Question 1 of 2 What was your first answer choice? ____ A _x___B ____C Explain why you made that choice: This choice was fairly easy, the other two are simply unacceptable. As allies for the deaf community we as hearing people should want to help our deaf friends when it comes to interpreting. Question 2 of 2 Do you feel ready to offer a Deaf person assistance with communication difficulties when you see a situation such as this arising? I think I could try, however I need to work on my fluency. How do you think Deaf people would respond to your offer? I think they would be glad to have someone they trust help them understand and be included in verbal conversations. What strategies could you use if your ASL skills are not advanced enough to interpret even a simple interaction such as the one you saw in this video clip? I would write down what the kids are asking for an easier interaction. A Sign of Respect - Part 1 Unit 11 - Exercise 11e by Thomas K. Holcomb and Anna Mindess, Copyright © 2017 Eye2Eye Productions Please type your response. Then save and submit as directed by your instructor. Choice Point 11d: Hearing a strange noise Question 1 of 2 What was your first answer choice? ____ A __x__B ____C Explain why you made that choice: Carol may have forgotten to turn the fan off, so letting her know is the best option. Question 2 of 2 While it might be obvious that the Deaf person needs to be alerted of strange noises coming from the house or car, more often than not, the hearing signer would not say anything. This might be due to the politeness factor, where the hearing person does not want to embarrass the Deaf person. Would you alert the Deaf person about strange noises in their environment? For example, would you alert your Deaf teacher if the computer she is using is making strange noises? Yes I would, something might be dangerous or broken and if the deaf person does not realize they could be in danger. A Sign of Respect - Part 1 Unit 11 - Exercise 11f by Thomas K.
