I am doing an exploratory social research paper for a class and my topic is about the relationship between ASL and Deaf culture. I would really like to get some info from every one. The more the better. I have created a short survey, which is below and attached as a word doc. Anyone who is interested please either post responses or fill-out atachment and email to me at truj2501@chapman.edu I will be collecting responses for a month, until May 11th. I am excited to see all of your opinions. After I have analyzed the responses I will post conclusions from the research. I would appreciate your responses to the survey.
1)Are you deaf?
2)Do you know American Sign Language (ASL)?
3)Do you primarily use ASL to communicate?
4)Do you consider yourself as part of the Deaf sub-culture?
5)Do you view deafness as a cultural identity?
6)Do you view deafness as a disability?
Please explain and discuss your answers freely for these next two questions.
7)What characteristics must a deaf person have to be considered a member of the Deaf sub-culture?
8)If a deaf person knows ASL does that mean they are a part of the Deaf sub-culture?
Thank You!
