Discuss the concept of Deaf culture.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Many individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing tend to identify with the Deaf community. They contend that they should be viewed not as deficient or pathological, but as members of a different culture with its own languages, traditions, values, and literature. The Deaf culture does not use the term hearing impaired. Its adherents view spoken English as an optional second language but ASL as the language of choice. This bilingual-bicultural approach stands in opposition to oralist philosophies and forms of sign language other than ASL. Generally speaking, proponents of the Dear culture have delayed accepting cochlear implants, which seek to restore or enhance auditory information through surgery.
