I chose to do American Deaf Culture because I know a bit about the history of ASL but I don’t know anything about how Deaf Americans live their lives. I also know that ASL is a completely different language to BSL and so I want to find out if American Deaf Culture is really similar or really different to British Deaf Culture.
American Deaf Culture fascinates me because whilst thinking about how I was going to compose this blog post I found a video on YouTube which was of a Deaf American Police Sergeant from Texas, I’m unsure whether there is any Deaf people in Britain so this was really interesting to me and I will definitely be looking into it further.
