Thank you very much for your insight. this will be very useful.. and yes I already did some research. social media and deafness have been widely covered and discussed but not much towards both. how about your personal feelings towards it? how much of a role does it play in your life in contrast...

well again it is not my intention to insult. what i was trying to convey is that you can choose to ignore me if you don't want to respond, answer or share your experiences. i just felt bad that some people were a bit harsh when could have easily just ignored me. again im sorry if that meant...

well i don't really understand what's wrong with what I did. again I'm swimming in murky waters here. I'm cautious with what I'm saying and if you are offended then I am sorry and I didn't have that intention. Well, I'm not trying to convince anyone of my credibility. I made the thread...

What role does this forum play in your life? in relation to facebook, (which i assume most of you have) how different is your experience in these social networks? Do you consider this forum as a support group as well?

well. internet ethnography and anthropology is an emerging trend. you can say that a culture is also developing in the internet itself. social media has affected us one way or another i just wanted to know how it affects you. @Smithtr this forum exactly and other forms like facebook and...

im sorry if i sounded offending. but that is exactly what i want to convey. im not sure which part of what i said has given a different impression. @amylynne i agree. these are initial observations. well i would say I am already at the juncture and i have already made the shift. its just...

well I guess if thats how you view it then it is negative. my fault then, but to explain further, im not doing an experiment. im not here to fix your deafness. i most certainly do not consider you guys lab rats. doing research doesnt mean i will conduct experiments. as in my previous posts and...

i think you misunderstand. is there anything wrong or is there any negative connotation with being research subjects? well just to explain my side, the difference really is that when you do experiments is that you try to distance yourself from the subjects, you try not to put any influence on...

well thank you and so far i feel comfortable. hopefully you guys don't feel i'm invading or intruding. nope not at all... as i have said i divulge everything i intend to obtain through this. i am still working on a short questionnaire about deaf forums and social media. so at the moment I...

I stand corrected, thank you for that. I am not perfect when it comes to grammar as well. :) well i know it feels weird to be studied upon. but really my goal is not to make you guys feel that way. it is just because my ethics in conducting research also compels me to divulge my true intentions...

well not really like that. in Anthropology we believe in participant observation. that's why I registered here as well, to be able to interact with you guys. so its not like how you described because I consider my informants and interlocutors as the experts. im here not only to observe but to...

Good day! I hope my title caught your attention. My name is Cesar and I'm currently taking up a masters degree in social and cultural anthropology. I joined this forum in lieu of a research paper I am working on. In this age of Social Network, I wanted to peer into the eyes of deaf people. I...
