Could you discuss how the lighting in movies, plays, etc...effect the deaf culture? I don't see movies in close caption, unless you buy the DVD, is this just an accepted fact, or will the deaf community request close captions for potential movie goers who are deaf? Excellent points.

His sign for "cheese" here looks a lot like the sign for "movie" but contextually that doesn't make sense, so I extrapolated "cheese." Remember that it takes time not only to learn the language but to also communicate with different people - signing styles (like spoken accents) vary.

]]> Comment on What is the Connection Between Loud Music and American Sign Language (ASL)? by Margaret http://blog.asldeafined.com/2012/01/what-is-the-connection-between-loud-music-and-american-sign-language-asl/#comment-5556 Margaret Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:53:39 +0000 http://blog.asldeafined.com/?p=1063#comment-5556 I believe we should protect our precious gift of hearing. Making our young people, or people in general aware of the damage loud noise is causing is great. However, I think we should take it farther. This should became a part of an educational program in the schools (same as fire prevention,and sexual education awareness). Also, companies who employ people, should provide protective hearing devices, if their employees are subject to loud noises. This information should be sent to schools, companies, etc.... requesting education and awareness initiatives to be added to their establishments.
