From a medical standpoint, many encourage Deaf children to undergo surgery. Especially in the past, the medical perspective discouraged the use of sign language because they believed it would distract from development of auditory and speech skills. From a social standpoint, Deaf individuals are welcomed to participate in society in the same manner as any other individual. This view discourages the idea that those who are deaf or <a href="/wiki/Hearing_loss" title="Hearing loss">hard-of-hearing</a> are sick and in need of a cure. The social view also encourages making accommodations for deaf people so that they can fully participate in society. Such accommodations include the use of <a href="/wiki/Language_interpretation" title="Language interpretation">interpreters</a> or improved <a href="/wiki/Closed_captioning" title="Closed captioning">closed captioning</a> systems. Some feel the social view fails to recognize the unique qualities of Deaf people and Deaf culture. They believe that this perspective asks Deaf people to fit and find their own way in a predominantly hearing society, instead of recognizing their own abilities and culture. Another perspective is referred to as the <a href="/wiki/Cultural_linguistics" class="mw-redirect" title="Cultural linguistics">cultural-linguistic</a> view. Supporters of Deaf Culture state that this perspective appropriately recognizes Deaf people as a minority culture in the world with their own language and social norms. This standpoint is believed to promote Deaf people's right to collective space within society to pass on their language and culture to future generations.<a href="#cite_note-:0-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-:5-11">[11]</a> Being involved in the Deaf community and culturally identifying as Deaf has been shown to significantly contribute to positive self-esteem in Deaf individuals.<a href="#cite_note-:2-12">[12]</a> The community can provide support, easy social interaction, and "refuge from the grinding frustrations of the hearing world."

Deaf identity also intersects with other kinds of <a href="/wiki/Cultural_identity" title="Cultural identity">cultural identity</a>. Deaf culture intersects with nationality, education, race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexual orientation, and other identity markers, leading to a culture that is at once quite small and also tremendously diverse. The extent to which people identify primarily with their deaf identity rather than their membership in other intersecting cultural groups also varies. Professor Anthony J. Aramburo found in a study titled The Sociolinguistic Aspects of the Black Deaf Community (1989) that "87 percent of black deaf people polled identified with their black culture first".<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-mindess2006-15">[15]</a> Deaf youth who belong to multiple minority groups face exceptional challenges.<a href="#cite_note-Deaf_Persons_of_Asian_American,_His-21">[21]</a> Deaf Black individuals may encounter discrimination from both hearing people of the Black community and White deaf individuals.<a href="#cite_note-Deaf_Persons_of_Asian_American,_His-21">[21]</a> Though racism is not greater than audism, the intersection of race and deafness (and other identities) can increase the barriers to success and compound hardship.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Therefore, it is crucial to acknowledge the intersectionality of Black Deaf students as it plays a significant role in their educational success.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> In his central work on Deafhood, English scholar <a href="/wiki/Paddy_Ladd" title="Paddy Ladd">Pady Ladd</a> often emphasizes a strong sense of collectivity within the Deaf community, but also correctly points out that other forms of marginalization also exist within this community, e.g. towards Deaf people from other countries. Racial discrimination is also noted: Deaf schools in the USA did not admit black students for a long time. The examples mentioned by Ladd also point to tendencies towards gender discrimination. He also points out that his analyses focus strongly on the USA and the UK, and that the situation and self-definition of d/Deaf people in other countries can differ greatly. Like other authors, however, he assumes a common core of a Deaf culture that arises from experiences as a Deaf person(s).<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Research in Tanzania in the early 21st century resulted in differing analysis whether or not - or how much - the identify of deaf Tanzanians can be characterized as Deaf, pointing also to intersectional identities.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Education">Education</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Deaf_culture&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Education">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Deaf_education" title="Deaf education">Deaf education</a></div> Deaf culture is prevalent in <a href="/wiki/K%E2%80%9312" title="K–12">K–12 schools</a> for the deaf throughout the world, though higher education specifically for them is more limited.

This is due to the fact that cochlear implants can be perceived to "cure" deafness or fix an individual's hearing,<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> when in reality those who are Deaf may not feel a need to be cured or fixed. This idea is seen in many children's books, where improved quality of life is only seen after characters obtain cochlear implants.<a href="#cite_note-:03-44">[44]</a> This idea that deafness is a physiological issue that resides only within the individual and therefore should be physiologically fixed or solved counters the teachings and beliefs within Deaf culture.<a href="#cite_note-:12-41">[41]</a> Often people feel as though children should make the decision if they want a cochlear implant for themselves as opposed to someone else, like their parents or caregivers, making it for them. Although ethical, this idea poses a problem since the success rate of cochlear implants is at its highest when implanted at early childhood;<a href="#cite_note-:22-45">[45]</a> in other words, when the child is not able to make rather large decisions, like this one, for themselves.<a href="#cite_note-:03-44">[44]</a> These critics argue forcing cochlear implants on children should be reduced and the assumption that cochlear implants offer the best quality of life for Deaf individuals should be countered. One way of doing this would be to expose children of young ages to Deaf culture and the Deaf community early on, as well as teach them American Sign Language.<a href="#cite_note-:12-41">[41]</a> Cochlear implants have been controversial around the Deaf community ever since they first were made available to the public.<a href="#cite_note-:03-44">[44]</a> Those who oppose cochlear implants even refer to it as "cultural genocide," as it lessens the prevalence and importance of Deaf culture.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a><a href="#cite_note-:12-41">[41]</a> People are against cochlear implants for a variety of reasons, including: there is value to being Deaf, being Deaf is not an illness and does not require a cure, the Deaf are not lesser than the hearing, etc. Cochlear implants also have a variety of risks associated with them, like costliness, effectiveness, and surgical requirement. Alternative solutions proposed by cochlear opponents are centered around the <a href="/wiki/Social_model_of_disability" title="Social model of disability">social model of disability</a>, where instead of fixing the actual hearing of the individual, reform and accommodations can be made in society, education, and more to better allow the individual to be integrated into society as would any other.<a href="#cite_note-:12-41">[41]</a> Alternatively, those who support cochlear implants do not necessarily oppose Deaf culture. Culture itself is not a simple concept, but rather it has high levels of complexity and power; due to this nature, culture is not to be applied narrowly to a group of individuals. The Deaf community is composed of highly diverse Deaf individuals, and to impose narrow culture onto a group full of heterogeneous members would be rather questionable.<a href="#cite_note-:22-45">[45]</a> There is room for deviation and hybridization of values and beliefs in Deaf culture as society and technology evolves. Even if they are proud of their Deaf identity, many deaf individuals wish they knew what their voices sounded like, and wish they could pick up the phone and have a conversation with ease without the need for a third-party device or interpreter.<a href="#cite_note-:22-45">[45]</a> So, instead of looking at cochlear implants as identity stripping, many Deaf parents of Deaf children see cochlear implants as a way to give their children more than what they have; to offer them the pleasure of being able to hear.<a href="#cite_note-:22-45">[45]</a> It has also been proven that cochlear implants help to provide opportunities for success, and help individuals to feel more connected to the world. Though most Deaf individuals agree that choosing to use a cochlear implant is a difficult decision, many say that resistance to cochlear implants has decreased since 1990, the year when it was first approved for children. By building more evidence of the benefits and limitations of cochlear implants, both Deaf and hearing individuals can be properly educated on the impact of cochlear implants, and thus unrealistic expectations and controversies can be resolved.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Behavioral_patterns">Behavioral patterns</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Deaf_culture&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Behavioral patterns">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li>Culturally Deaf people have rules of etiquette for getting attention, walking through signed conversations, leave-taking, and otherwise politely negotiating a signing environment.</li> <li>Deaf people also keep each other informed of what is going on in one's environment.

In the United States, <a href="/wiki/Video_relay_service" title="Video relay service">video relay services</a> and an array of freestanding and software-driven video phones are often used by deaf people to conduct telephonic communication with hearing and deaf businesses, family and friends. Devices such as the teletype (known as a <a href="/wiki/Telecommunications_device_for_the_deaf" title="Telecommunications device for the deaf">TTY</a>, an electronic device used for communication over a telephone line) are far less common, but are used by some deaf people who are without access to high-speed Internet or have a preference for these methods for their telephonic communication.</li> <li>Technology is even important in face-to-face social situations. For example, when deaf people meet a hearing person who does not know sign language, they often communicate via the notepad on their cell phones. Here, technology takes the place of a human sense, allowing deaf individuals to successfully communicate with different cultures.</li> <li>Social media tends to be of great importance to deaf individuals. Networking sites allow deaf people to find each other and to remain in contact. Many deaf people have deaf friends throughout the entire country that they met or maintain contact with through online communities. Because of the relatively small size of the deaf community, compared to other communities, the stigma of meeting others online does not exist.</li> <li>Closed Captioning must be available on a television in order for a deaf person to fully appreciate the audio portion of the broadcast. Conflicts arise when establishments such as restaurants, airlines, or fitness centers fail to accommodate deaf people by turning on Closed Captioning. Movie theaters are increasingly compliant with providing visual access to first-run movies through stand-alone devices, glasses and open caption technology which allow deaf people to attend movies as they are released.<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a></li> <li>Alert systems such as fire alarms and alarm clocks must appeal to different senses in order for a deaf individual to notice the alert. Objects such as vibrating pillows and flashing lights often take the place of the noise-based alarms.</li> <li>Lack of understanding about technological accessibility for the deaf causes conflict and injustice for the deaf community.

Deaf clubs, popular in the 1940s and 1950s, were also an important part of deaf culture. During this time there were very few places that deaf people could call their own– places run by deaf people for deaf people. Films were made from the Los Angeles Club for the Deaf and included styles of performances such as <a href="/wiki/Vaudeville" title="Vaudeville">Vaudeville show</a> and short comedy skills. These films survived through the 1940s. Wolf Bragg, a popular Deaf club performer through 1930 is known for interpreting sign language into "<a href="/wiki/The_Monkey%27s_Paw" title="The Monkey's Paw">The Monkey's Paw</a>" and <a href="/wiki/Auf_Wiedersehen_(song)" title="Auf Wiedersehen (song)">Auf Weidersehen</a>.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> Deaf clubs were the solution to this need. Money was made by selling alcohol and hosting card games. Sometimes these ventures were so successful that the building used by the club was able to be purchased. The main attraction of these clubs was that they provided a place that deaf people could go to be around other deaf people, sometimes sharing stories, hosting parties, comedians, and plays. Many of today's common ABC stories were first seen at deaf clubs. The clubs were found in all of the major cities, New York City being home to at least 12. These clubs were an important break from their usually solitary day spent at factory jobs.<a href="#cite_note-bauman2008-19">[19]</a> In the 1960s, deaf clubs began their quick and drastic decline. Today there are only a few spread-out deaf clubs found in the United States and their attendance is commonly small with a tendency to the elderly. This sudden decline is often attributed to the rise of technology like the TTY and <a href="/wiki/Closed_captioning" title="Closed captioning">closed captioning</a> for personal TVs. With other options available for entertainment and communication, the need for deaf clubs grew smaller. It was no longer the only option for getting in touch with other members of the deaf community.<a href="#cite_note-bauman2008-19">[19]</a> Others attribute the decline of deaf clubs to the end of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> and a change in the job market. During WWII there was high demand for factory laborers and a promise of high pay. Many deaf Americans left their homes to move to bigger cities with the hope of obtaining a factory job. This huge influx of workers into new cities created the need for deaf clubs. When World War II ended and the civil rights movement progressed, the federal government started offering more jobs to deaf men and women. People began switching from manufacturing jobs to service jobs, moving away from solitary work with set hours. Today, deaf clubs are rare, but deaf advocacy centers and other deaf organizations have become widespread and popular.<a href="#cite_note-bauman2008-19">[19]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="African-American">African-American</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Deaf_culture&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: African-American">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/National_Black_Deaf_Advocates" title="National Black Deaf Advocates">National Black Deaf Advocates</a> was established in 1982 "to promote the leadership development, economic and educational opportunities, social equality, and to safeguard the general health and welfare of Black deaf and hard-of-hearing people."<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="LGBT">LGBT</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Deaf_culture&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: LGBT">edit</a>]</div> There are several major institutions supporting the Deaf <a href="/wiki/Queer" title="Queer">queer</a> community in the United States.

IFLA's Guidelines for Library Services to Deaf People is one such set of guidelines, and it was published to inform libraries of the services that should be provided for Deaf patrons. Most of the guidelines pertain to ensuring that Deaf patrons have equal access to all available library services. Other guidelines include training library staff to provide services for the Deaf community, availability of text telephones or TTYs not only to assist patrons with reference questions but also for making outside calls, using the most recent technology in order to communicate more effectively with Deaf patrons, including closed captioning services for any television services, and developing a collection that would interest the members of the Deaf community.<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> Over the years, library services have begun to evolve in order to accommodate the needs and desires of local Deaf communities. For example, at the Queens Borough Public Library (QBPL) in New York, the staff implemented new and innovative ideas in order to involve the community and library staff with the Deaf people in their community. The QBPL hired a deaf librarian, Lori Stambler-Dunsmore, to train the library staff about Deaf culture, to teach sign language classes for family members and people who are involved with deaf people, and to teach literacy classes for Deaf patrons. In working with the library, Stambler-Dunsmore was able to help the community reach out to its deaf neighbors, and helped other deaf people become more active in their outside community.<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Services">Services</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Deaf_culture&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Services">edit</a>]</div> The library at <a href="/wiki/Gallaudet_University" title="Gallaudet University">Gallaudet University</a>, the only Deaf liberal arts university in the world, was founded in 1876.
