Explain why the word Deaf is sometimes capitalized and the implications of this usage
What will be an ideal response?
Students should indicate familiarity with the term Deaf as used in a broad cultural context—Deaf culture versus characteristics associated with a sensory impairment. Answers might include examples of Deaf culture, events such as the uprising sparked by the attempt to hire a hearing person to be president of Gallaudet University, or personal experiences with the Deaf community.
Students might also describe the uniqueness of Deaf culture, in which there is limited access for hearing/non-signing persons, although these individuals can be members of the Deaf community if they are active learners and participants, especially if they are able to use ASL.
