Chapter 53

In previous chapters, it discusses who is part of the Deaf community and says that if you associate with them and are respectful that you are part of the Deaf community. I like the response though, Do they want to be? It should be simple like that, do you want to be? I believe now, that I could be part of the Deaf community if I choose to be and if I would show the Deaf community respect. All cultures are difficult and stubborn so I don’t believe that it is fair to say that hard of hearing people are stubborn individuals. Most people are! In my opinion, based on what the chapters have told me, the Deaf community would accept you if you want to be accepted.
