which one could be eliminated most easily, how that loss might occur, and why it was chosen. Discussion The one sense that dominates all the others is sight. The human
eye is the "organ which gives us the sense of sight, allowing us to learn more about the surrounding world that we do with any of the other four senses"
(Farr, 2004). We use our eyes "in almost every activity we perform," whether were driving, reading a book, watching a movie, studying, playing-we use our eyes for everything while were
awake (Farr, 2004). If a person loses his or her sight, the world changes dramatically: many enjoyable activities are no longer possible, or can be done at greatly reduced levels.
(Think of going to a movie and only being able to hear it; of course it can be done, but how much more enjoyable it is when we can see
the film.) Blindness is also a legal term; losing ones sight means the loss of the privilege of driving; it means more dependence on others; it means learning an entirely
new language-Braille. Hearing is second on most peoples list of important senses. Again, as with the loss of sight, losing ones hearing means a dramatic change in the way the
person deals with the world. It means, perhaps, learning sign language; and if the person loves music, the loss will be almost unbearable. It also presents considerable dangers: the deaf
person cannot hear things like fire alarms, train whistles, horns, tornado sirens or other warning signals. They cannot hear their loved ones and friends, either, and all conversations have to
