Love Language

1.) What were some assumptions you made while watching the video?

I assumed she couldn't speak English at first, but after she started writing, I assumed she was deaf.

2.) Is this a cultural conflict? If so, explain.

No, because being deaf isn't a culture. Deafness does not affect a certain culture, it affects people of all different cultures. All deaf people undergo the same experience of being deaf and a lot of them experience learning sign language, but other than that, every deaf person has a culture unique to them. As such, this isn't a cultural conflict, it's just a difficulty in communicating due to the girl being deaf.

3.) Name an external conflict from the video.

The boy wants to talk to the girl, but the girl won't/can't.

4.) Name an internal conflict from the video.

The girl experiences a man vs. self internal conflict. It's a conflict she's never going to win, however, since her deafness can't be cured and learning how to talk would be very hard. Her conflict is that she wants to talk to the boy and hold a conversation, but she can't actually speak. Her deafness is what's causing this conflict, since it's a part of herself she can't change.

5.) How is this conflict resolved?

It was resolved through the boy and girl talking through written messages, getting to know each other, and the girl ultimately revealing her deafness.
