However, after learning about Deaf culture you can see that Deaf people are able to “turn the tables” by making themselves the majority, and the hearing community the minority. The first demonstration of how the Deaf community can turn the tables is by using humor. One joke called “The Bar Phone” tells of a a group of Deaf people signing in a bar while a table of hearing people stare at them and…

often less than or different than hearing people in ways that affected aspirations, careers, social events, school, and more. Deaf culture is so rich, powerful, wonderful, and underappreciated by the world. Bragg used his language to perform and reach so many people it is amazing.

Andrew J Foster was an amazing man that just might have changed the world of deaf culture. Foster was born on June 27, 1925, in Ensley, Ala. However, growing up was hard for Foster because he confronted segregation and prejudice growing up as an African American. As a kid, he confronted school isolation, and additionally managing sub-human acts and laws.

pushes her insistent belief that “lesbianism … was [simply] a passing thing” (90-133). In light of her consecutive breakdowns mid-text, this is ultimately deemed false. “I was bound to come undone,” Galloway writes, referring to both the strain of her hearing guise, as well as her “scarily pent-up sexuality” (103). She notes the crux of her struggles as being in her sophomore year of university, having to spend “three days in the university clinic, crying like a baby” after bursting out into…

A student’s mastery of his first language is a precursor to strong reading abilities (Marschark). If a student has weak language skills, then it is expected that he will struggle to learn how to read and write. However, if the student is surrounded with strong language models from birth, then they are…
