by Roberto Carlos Pavón Carreón Karla M. V.Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo recoger citas y datos históricos tratando la visión de la sociedad acerca de los sordos desde las primeras documentaciones de la humanidad sobre el tema. El análisis de los hechos requirió el acceso a diferentes fuentes de la investigación, que abarcando una gran variedad textual de libros y sitios científicos de diversos sitios. Uno de los objetivos de la investigación tenía era un trabajo con ejemplos de los mitos y las citas más absurdos ya documentados sobre la sordera humana, lo que demuestra la ignorancia o el poder creativo y cómo eso puede dificultar más a la vida de quienes padecen deficiencia auditiva. Los hallazgos señalan algunas consideraciones, y, lo más obvio de ellas, el poder de la ignorancia religiosa e interpretaciones así como de traducciones mal concebidas, así como el miedo de la gente a enfrentar algo que no entiende y, por lo tanto, terminan por no saber cómo actuar. Aún así, es preciso aclarar que no se tuvo intención alguna de ofender, humillar o faltar el respeto a los autores de los ejemplos y sus creencias religiosas. De todos modos, esta obra sólo tiene la intención de presentar mitos y sus consideraciones acerca de los sordos y tratar de acabar con tales historias a fin de aclarar y dar explicaciones en las correcciones, mostrando los datos técnicos obtenidos y analizados, para registrarlos en carácter permanente; pudiendo proporcionar una fuente de estudio capaz de estimular futuros trabajos de otro investigadores en el área.
