I. How many children that receive the implant have two deaf parents? This is a hard question to be answered. Because of the laws of patient doctor confidentiality hospitals cant release any information regarding their patient or their family’s hearing status. They families can put out he information themselves if they choose. There were many websites of people angry about deaf parents not wanting their children to get the implant and angry deaf community not wanting children to get implants. Their however was no statistics that I could find of deaf parents allowing their children to get the implant.

II. This week in class we watched a documentary called promises. It was about kids in different parts of the holy land. The film started with getting the children’s opinions on politics. Some of the children are Jewish and some of them are Palestinian. The children have been taught not to like each other. At first the children refuse to talk with each other. After a little persuading two Jewish boys and a Palestinian boy meet. The boys start to learn about each other’s opinions and become friends. At the end of the visit the boys get upset because they realize the directors of the movie will be leaving and they won’t be able to see each other.
It was sad to think that even though some of the next generation wants their worlds to change there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. The twin boys ended up joining their military and the Palestinian boy moved to America. To us it seems crazy that people could fight this long over land they could easily live together in. But both sides belong the land should belong to them.
III. What are the reasons they feel the land belongs to them?
