Deaf Culture

Deaf Culture

Perspectives of Deaf Culture
With the awareness of the Deaf Community becoming stronger with everyday people are beginning to form two major positions on Deaf Culture. The two prevalent positions are the “pathological model” and the “cultural model”.  The pathological model sees the hearing community as the norm or what is accepted, and then compares the Deaf Community and how it is different. The cultural model is distinctly different. This model looks at the Deaf Community as a complex culture that has it own rules and cultural aspects. 
The pathological model obviously can and does result in oppressive attitudes and treatment. This view sees the Deaf Community as having a great burden and as a whole is completely not comparable to the hearing community. Sadly some parents of deaf children hold this view. Things like speech therapy and cochlear implants result, not saying that these things are wrong or bad, but they are different form the views of the cultural model. 
The cultural model sees the Deaf community as a group of people that are bonded together by a language and culture of their own. Most Deaf people and people that have been exposed to Deaf culture share this opinion.
