Discrimination Against the Deaf Culture

The hearing impaired community does not believe that their hearing impairment is a disorder, but we are considering a culture that includes the history of discrimination, racial prejudice and isolation. According to the online record of "through the eyes of deaf people" (Weta and Florentine Film / Hott Production, 2007), 35 million Americans have hearing impairment. Of the 35 million people, an estimated 300 thousand people are completely hearing impaired. 90% of hearing-impaired people have hearing to their parents (Halpern, C., 1996).

Previous research on Deaf culture was mainly a surface problem such as the typical cultural differences of the Deaf community, the history of Deaf education, the difference between Deaf and Deaf and the point of discrimination. Sign language linguistics also has its own typical theme like Martha 's vineyards, American sign language is the reason for the real language, and exact range from English to the United States.

Sign language is the most important tool for cultural exchanges between hearing impaired and hearing impaired. Using sign language, you can join the local and global social networks that bring together the Deaf culture. Sign language is a loose language for people with hearing impairment, those with hearing impairment, and those who use sign language for communication. Because the hearing impaired and the teacher Laurent Clerc was brought to the United States by Thomas Hopkins Gaulladet, American Sign Language (ASL) is closely related to the old French sign language format. Clerc brought sign language in French, but sign language was used. Martha's Vineyard has more than ordinary monks who created their own sign language. French sign language and second - hand sign language become American Sign Language. Through the use of their culture and sign language, deaf and hearing communities are closely packed. As in English, sign language is constantly changing

"Deaf culture is at the heart of the Deaf community around the world, each Deaf community is a cultural group with sign language and a common heritage.Therefore members of the Deaf community around the world will appreciate themselves as cultural and linguistic groups Identification of the hearing impaired community is a personal choice, usually not related to the individual's auditory state, and the community is automatically composed of all deaf or hearing impaired people If a person identifies himself as a member of the hearing impaired community and another member accepts that member as a member, he becomes a member of the deaf community.The ability is closely related "Source: World Federation of the Deaf
