A Sign of Respect - Part 1 Unit 11 - Exercise 11a by Thomas K. Holcomb and Anna Mindess, Copyright © 2017 Eye2Eye Productions Name: Kate Weir 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 ____B _!___C Explain why you made that choice: I would say C because although I first thought to leave a note I realized that the deaf person inside may have not seen the doorbell light flashes as they could have been occupied doing something else. 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? I would be totally ok with these as the majority of the time when friends of mine come over they just walk right in without ringing the doorbell. Conversely, do you think you would be able to do this when attempting to visit a Deaf friend’s house? I am normally a very shy and introverted person so I could see myself uncomfortable just walking into a deaf friend's house without them knowing.

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. This is totally acceptable when it comes to all my family. When visiting each other's house we normally just knock once and then immediately open the door and head into the house. This also is the case for my friends when entering each other's houses.

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 _!___C Explain why you made that choice: I feel this choice was the best option because she politely asked the question directly compared to answer choice B. In addition, as discussed deaf people welcome questions like that about their life. Question 2 of 2 Deaf people are known for being direct. How comfortable are you about being specific and direct with your inquiries? I would not say I am that comfortable about specific and direct questions with my inquiries. And how comfortable are you about getting asked questions that are rather direct and personal? I would also say that I am a very private person so I do not know if I would be that comfortable either being asked questions that are personal.

Name: Kate Weir Please type your response. Then save and submit as directed by your instructor. Choice Point 11c: Non-signers at the door Question 1 of 2 What was your first answer choice? ____ A __!__B ____C Explain why you made that choice: I choose this option because you could be useful and help your friend rather than be no help. It allows the deaf person to understand and the non signers to understand. It also gives the deaf individual a choice to say no. 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 feel I would do the best I could to assist. How do you think Deaf people would respond to your offer? I believe they would be appreciative of my offer to help. 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? If my skills are not advanced enough, I could try writing or typing on my phone. That way I could still have a conversation with the individual.

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 ____B ____C Explain why you made that choice: This is the most respectful way of doing so since it is their home. Informing them is also helpful in the future because if they are unaware it would just continue to run. 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? I would for sure alert the deaf person about the strange noises because that is something I would want to know that is happening in my home. For example, would you alert your Deaf teacher if the computer she is using is making strange noises? I would definitely alert them because if I did not possibly down the road when the sound continued without telling them something bad could happen to the computer like crash. A Sign of Respect - Part 1 Unit 11 - Exercise 11f by Thomas K. Holcomb and Anna Mindess, Copyright © 2017 Eye2Eye Productions Name: Kate Weir Respond to these questions as directed. Then save and submit as directed by your instructor. Read the following list of sounds and if you think that many Deaf people would be interested in knowing about them, write the letter of the appropriate reason (a, b, c, d, e) next to the statement. Things to consider include whether or not the sounds might: a. Cost them money b. Affect their safety c. Be considered embarrassing d. Be of interest to them in order to learn more about their neighbors, co-workers, etc. e. None of the above If you think that knowing about the sound would not be of interest to Deaf people, write in “e” for “none of the above. In addition, put an asterisk (*) next to the statement if you would be too embarrassed to tell the Deaf person about the sound even though you know the sound might be of interest to many Deaf people. ___B__ 1.
