In this thesis, we investigate the moral and ethical perspective of deaf people by analyzing the possible relationship between the characteristics of the present life, the itself projection into the future and the personal experience of humiliation in the past. This study involved 16 prelinguistic deaf students of higher education, between 21-40 years, divided equally as to sex and individually interviewed through the Piagetian clinical method in sign language. Considering the frequent data, for seven subjects there was delay of 17 to 19 years in acquisition of sign language, which was favored mainly by contact with deaf friends and people in the deaf community, contributing to the formation of identity transition. Almost all respondents active in the dissemination of sign language as Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) instructors and as teachers of the deaf due to the connection with the deaf community. However were also presented arguments such self-centered, with elements of self-recognition with a positive value. About the colleges, choices prevail in Linguistics and Literature-Libras and Pedagogy. The choice of this course was based on arguments connected with the deaf community and self-centered based on the positive recognition of each other. The research on the life projects reveals that participants are interested in their own ‘professional activity’ as well as investment in the ‘academic formation’ followed by ‘affective relationship’ and the ‘material acquisition’. However, arguments such as self-centered are specially considered in relation to the characteristics, needs and potential to act upon the world, but there is mention to content hedonists. The connection is present mainly in relation to deaf community and society. In the study on the experiences of humiliation category, that is recognized by the participants and also experiences frequent. There are reports of ‘exclusion’, with emphasis on education, ‘injury, calumny and defamation’ and ‘impossibility of communication’, justified by the contents of ‘impotence’ and ‘condition’. Among the arguments raised by respondents was a clear disregard for the other participants, and the main type was ‘disconnected close people from self’ and ‘society disconnected from itself'. Regarding the relationship of influence between humiliation and life projects, for most of participants, the humiliation with negative content could not influence the life projects valued by the participants, influence found in the comparative analysis between the types of humiliation and projects listed. In relation to those who identify a relationship between humiliation and life projects, stand out the plans of ‘professional activity’, ‘social inclusion of deaf’ and ‘affective relationship’ as targets of influence, with the main justifications of connection. The deaf participants made plans for their lives in an ethical perspective, including themselves as well as the other, with special attention to the deaf community, but also claim to inclusion of the society. There is a connection between the present, the past and the future, whereas the humiliating experience of educational exclusion still plays in the present, when participants invest in their own higher education for future professional activities. We hope this study will be useful to discuss about public policies in the field of specialized education for the deaf, but also contributes to the expansion of scientific knowledge about the moral and the ethical perspectives of this people.
