Document Summary
Culture : values, beliefs, social forms and traits of a group of people. Those values represent specific meanings, beliefs, and practices that guide the group in individual and social development. This perspective is often why many people look to medicine to cure hearing loss. Example: using hearing aids, cochlear implants and other devices to help deaf people hear . Cochlear implants hurt the community because the focus is on speaking and hearing to fit in rather than focusing on sign language which is visual and accessible medical. Cochlear implants support access to the hearing world and help with speaking and hearing. Deaf vs. deaf deaf: individuals who typically rely on auditory assistance devices, use spoken language over sign, and tend to socialize more with hearing people. Deaf: members of deaf culture, they use sign language and share similar beliefs, customs, values and experiences. They mostly socialize with other culturally deaf people.
