globalization? + sensory disjunction=

This is in response to Lorna's blog titles "sight or hearing".

I think that regardless if you have sight or hearing or both it will alter the way one understands and interprets the world around them. For those of us who are furtunate enough to have both; is this something that is taken for granted? We already know that cross culturally people communicate differently, but when you add a whole new dimension such as sensory disjunction it would distort the communicative ability even further. Aside from this distortion it would also affect the way in which individuals would percieve the unknown culture at hand due to the additional disability in communcation. So this makes me question the notion of globalization even further because all people, cultures and scenarios will be inevitably different so how would it be established on a full scale; all cases should be considered individually in order to make sense of the terms.
