hearing vs. deaf culture

The economic principle I’m exploring is “People gain when they trade voluntarily”

 My research question to help me study the economic principle is:
 What is the difference between hearing and deaf culture?

 The article published in Soft Schools titled “Deaf Culture vs Hearing Culture” demonstrates this economic principle by showing That deaf people are able to feel more accepted by forming their own community , Deaf people gave up fitting in and chose to be happier with their own language, and, that it allows deaf people to feel empowered about themselves rather than feeling less than hearing people. 

First, deaf people formed their own communities because they were seen as less than hearing people so they banded together. The reason that this is significant is that it allowed for sign language to develop more fully and become easily learned.

 Second, deaf people chose to separate themselves from the hearing world in order to feel less outcast. By doing this, the deaf community has a very strong bond.

 Third, by Deaf people forming Deaf communities, it allows them to feel empowered and welcomed, rather than like a misfit.

 In my next blog post I will research the question: What is the best way to educate hearing people about the deaf?
