6. Deaf Culture notes
Minority groups are often labeled by the larger, surrounding community who are uninterested in how the group identifies itself. This is especially true with individuals considered disabled or handicapped. The Deaf community has been labeled “deaf-and-dumb” and “deaf- mute” in addition to handicapped, disabled, or abnormal. Over the years the Deaf community has worked to educate hearing people about the negative connotations of many labels, preferring that a positive view of deafness and Deaf culture be respected.
You may have seen the term hearing impaired on TV or other media referring to deafness. Many people in the Deaf community prefer to sign deaf instead of hearing-impaired due to the negative connotations of “impaired” and “broken”. Strangely, hearing people consider this term more polite than saying “Deaf.” Deaf people are proud to be Deaf, and prefer to be called Deaf!
Hard-of-hearing refers to those individuals who have some degree of deafness and can use a spoken language, though hearing and speech skills vary from person to person. Many hard-of hearing people consider themselves to be culturally Deaf, meaning they fully participate in the Deaf community.
Deaf people form a cultural and linguistic minority whose language and experience are unique. When a group of people who share a language and come together to offer mutual support in pursuit of common goals and interests, a community is formed. Over time, a culture develops from this community. Deaf culture is the shared experience of deaf people that has its own values, social norms (ways of doing things), a unique history, and a rich tradition of storytelling and poetry passed from generation to generation. The common bond in Deaf culture is the experience of being deaf and the use of ASL.

8. The Cultural Model, or “Who is Deaf?”

The Deaf do not feel the need to be fixed or cured.
The Deaf World (culture) is visually based and often has a different perspective of “normal” than hearing people.
Celebrate deafness as a fulfilling way of life.
