Understanding Deaf Culture

Deaf people are often mistaken. According to a legend, a Greek mythical person named Procrustes encourages tired travelers to rest at his home. Procrustes offers special accommodation to anyone regardless of the number of guests. If the guest is shorter than the bed owned by Procrustes, Procrustes stretches the guest's body to fit, and if the guest's foot is longer than the bed, Procrustes will cut their feet so they fit the bed . Aimee K. Whyte and Douglas A. Guiffrida explain the way the monks observed.

The term "hearing impaired" was originally developed by Paddy Ladd in 1993. This concept further developed through the doctoral dissertation on Deaf culture in 1998, and in 2003, Rudd published a book titled "Understanding Deaf culture - Discover Deaf" about this subject. One of the main objectives of this book is to achieve unity among hearing impaired people. Why do monks say different words? What are the terms of terms such as "hearing loss" or "hearing loss and hearing impairment"? The monk was a word made by Dr. Deaf and Dr. Padillad of Deaf Dept. of Bristol University in the UK. A hearing-impaired was found in Ladd's book "Understanding Culture: Searching for Hearing Impaired" (2003).

Hearing impaired occupy 10% of the world. This means that there are about 10 million monks in the United States alone. Together with so many monks we have to work hard to understand the concept of Deaf culture. In order to decide the culture of the Deaf, we have to consult the Deaf community. Even in the United States, we have our own customs and customs that treat us as individuals. In order to fully enjoy and understand the Deaf culture, we must participate in deaf customs and social activities. The pride and unity seen in the community of the hearing impaired are like families close. Deaf people also believe that deaf is part of their cultural heritage, as other cultural groups like Hispanics and Asians share a collective tradition 29)
