Question 1 of 1 Why is it acceptable for Deaf people to correct hearing people’s signs while it does not demonstrate a “good attitude” for hearing people to correct Deaf people’s speech? Deaf people assure that someone who is learning ASL is open to criticism and correction when using the wrong sign. Because it is not normalized for Deaf people to speak vocally, it is rude to correct them on their speech. A Sign of Respect - Part 1 Unit 8 - Exercise 8c by Thomas K.

Question 1 of 1 Information sharing has been identified as a major cultural trait in the Deaf community. This has been attributed to the fact that information is difficult to come by for many Deaf people due to communication and linguistic barriers. However, a good number of cultures throughout the world also share a preference for a direct communication style, including Israeli and German cultures. Why do you think this is true? I think this brings a sense of unity and closeness in a community. It also makes up for the assumptions we often make to come to conclusions here is the US.
