Audism - The Definition and the Audist View

[jillio]

You quoted the answer.

Gotcha. In other words, you are just trolling. We all now know that you are one of those that is not open to learning and examining their own belief system. That is why there will always be audists.

Deaf people dont go around bragging about their ASL skills at Deaf socials, to their friends, and etc. That's stupid.

We do compliment each other on good analogies, ideas, and etc, not on ASL skills. I have never met a Deaf parent bragging to others about their children's ASL skills. Maybe about good grades, creativiness, and science projects but about speaking skills? Not that I have seen and it would have been a turn off.

I dont think hearing people go around bragging about each other speech's skills, do they?

Can the terms audism and ethnocentrism be used interchangeably?

Essentially, they are the same thing, and I have used them interchangeably. Audism is just a specific form of ethnocentrism.

Good point. A great example of why a hearing parent bragging about a deaf child's speech skills is audist.

No, attempting to clear up misunderstandings was part of the OP.

I'm sorry but that just cracked me up. I got this image in my head of hearing people at a formal party:

Man: "Look at me. I can articulate each word perfectly."
Woman: "Wow. You sure can. I want to improve my intonations. Do you have a speech therapist you could recommend?"
Man: "Oh, your intonation is just fine."
Woman: "Aww, thanks. Perhaps after this party, I can show you how good my intonations can get."

(Sorry, off topic. Couldn't resist)

And that gives the child the wrong impression about what they are capable of. There is much much more to each of us than good speech skills. Audism can really damage children if people arent careful.

That is almost what I had in my head when I was typing that question. So funny!

And you have failed to do that. In fact, you have not even tried to clear up misunderstandings of what audism is because you refuse to define it or to recongnize it. As I said, trolling.

**nodding** It is very harmful, and especially to children that are developing their self concept. It gives them the message that unless they speak well, they are not as valuable as those who do.

i'm gonna disagree with this. I have seen LOTS of Deaf people notice and complement childrens' ASL skills. Both deaf children and CODAs.

I seem to remember Harry Reid commenting on obama's speech skills.

OMG! Now I've got that picture in my head, and I can't stop giggling. I'm afraid it will come right back to me the next time I am at a gathering with hearing people!

Off topic. And unrelated to audism. Please stop trolling. You are entitled to believe that audism doesn't exist. However, you are not entitled to make fun of those that know it does.

I'll just be there cracking up and people will be looking at me like I lost my mind.
