Deaf culture
Deaf culture is the set of social beliefs, behaviors, art, literary traditions, history, values, and shared institutions of communities that are influenced by deafness and which use sign languages as the main means of communication. When used as a cultural label especially within the culture, the word deaf is often written with a capital D and referred to as ""big D Deaf"" in speech and sign. When used as a label for the audiological condition, it is written with a lower case d.Members of the Deaf community tend to view deafness as a difference in human experience rather than a disability or disease. Many members take pride in their Deaf identity.The community may include hearing family members of deaf people and sign-language interpreters who identify with Deaf culture. It does not automatically include all people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. As educator and American Sign Language interpreter Anna Mindess writes, ""it is not the extent of hearing loss that defines a member of the deaf community but the individual's own sense of identity and resultant actions."" As with all social groups that a person chooses to belong to, a person is a member of the Deaf community if they ""identifies him/herself as a member of the Deaf community, and other members accept that person as a part of the community.""Deaf culture is recognized under Article 30, Paragraph 4 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which states that ""Persons with disabilities shall be entitled, on an equal basis with others, to recognition and support of their specific cultural and linguistic identity, including sign languages and deaf culture.""
