Q

Is Deafness a disability?

A

Here is where we diverge between the two cultures

28
Q

Why would some people think Deafness is a disability?

A

Hearing is one of the five senses, if someone has one of these senses impaired they are labelled as having a disability
- Ex. Blindess

29
Q

Why do Deaf people not like the stereotype of disabled?

A

Because it is associated with having inferior intelligence

- Some are not accepted by society because they have limited physical capabilities

30
Q

What do Deaf people strive for?

A

They believe they only communicate differently from hearing people and strive for respect - to be treated fairly

31
Q

Do Deaf people believe they have a disability?

A

No - just their communication is different than hearing people
- Their language, history, actions, and shared values point to a culture not a disability

32
Q

So, how does this answer the question if Deafness is in fact a disability?

A

The answer lies in respecting one another, becoming aware of other perspectives, and how we react to them
