The first video I posted was about the discrimination against two deaf women looking for a job in New Jersey. the employer would not hire them because they were deaf. He did so without probable cause and refused to review their applications after they filled them out. He claimed that they would not succeed at their positions and that was reason enough not to employ them.

The second video I posted was depicting two teenage girls mocking and a deaf neighbor who could not hear them making rediculous noises. They knew that this person could not hear them and they were making fun of this individual. Not only were they being rude, but they were mocking a person who could not defend themselves from being attacked verbally. Iy is an important reminder to us that the deaf are not animals and should not be treated as such for their lack of hearing.

The third video I posted was really inspirational in an eye opening way. It depicts the struggle of a young Thai deaf girl who struggles to learn to play the piano and violin. Because of her impairment, others treat her poorly and push her around out of spite. She then becomes a great musician that no one could rightfully deny. I chose this video because it proves to the rest of the world that deaf people are capable of the same things we are. The only difference between the deaf and bionic is that they learn in a different way than the rest of us.
