instructor, if required.
Question 1 of 1
Have you personally had the experience of a Deaf person correcting your signs?
Write about what happened and how you felt about it.
Outside of this class no I have not. Anytime I use the wrong sign and the teacher
corrects it, I just go oh, okay and mentally fix the sign in my head. For example for the
production test 2 I mixed up my letter s and a on high school. When
It was graded my
teacher provided a video of the correct way to do the sign.

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 can correct hearing people 's signs because
everyone can learn the
language of sign and we are learning their language
.
However, it is rude to correct a
deaf persons speech because its not their fault that they cannot speak it correctly.

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?
From what I know about these cultures their conversations are often passionate, loud
and expressive, with people freely sharing their opinions and speaking honestly. I think
they prefer this way of communication style because they believe that it is better to
express ones feelings/ opinions rather than repressing them.
