In fact, it makes those infants a culture of their own where they are neither Deaf nor Hearing. The Deaf community is home to a variety of diverse subcultures. Those infants grow into kids without a cultural identification and they are resigned to a sort of netherworld of non-definition. However, during my four years there, I got to experience the culture inside and out, at all points on the spectrum. Admittedly, I didn't want to go to RIT originally because of the high number of deaf students. I felt needed some more culture in my life so I decided to read a book, and this is what fell into my hands. From football games and gossip to classrooms and parties, these students give mtvU viewers a compelling, unseen look inside campus life and “deaf culture” at Gallaudet. Which is why, even though I'm hearing, I fit so nicely with the Deaf community. Although united by a common ground, much of this diversity isn't immediately apparent. A series within Deaf community around the world Hearing people who are against the use of sign language communication have no knowledge of Deaf culture completely, in manner of speaking.
