deaf community

I will be speaking for the deaf community and the deaf culture that exists within this community. The deaf community does not see their condition as a disability and instead sees it as different way of experiencing humanity. Their condition affects the means through which they communicate and share information which is mainly accomplished through sign language. The deaf community is proud of it's history especially since sign language was proclaimed a true language with it's own grammatical structure which motivated the deaf community to rally for the legitimacy of the deaf culture and position itself as a linguistic minority.
