What do you think about the terms Hearing World and Deaf World?

dictionary defines world as : A planet or globe in the solar system.
So with that using the term 'world' means to say there is a deaf planet and a hearing planet?

Has our globe split in half with hearing world there and the deaf world here like there are two seperate planet?

I personally think we should all live together as peaceably as possible.

Our planet is covered with alot of different people with their different cultures and communities, so why should we try to divide it when for the most part it all meshes together?

I agree with identifying oneself with the deaf, and being involved in the deaf culture and community, but we have to remember that we also belong to the greater world population.

What are your thoughts and opinions?
