Wanting to bridge the gap between the hearing and the Deaf is a wonderful goal. But please remember, there are many people out there who don't want to learn, and they willnever take anything you communicate to them to heart. It's easier to remain in ignorance, and continue to live your life based on the same old values you have always had. And they don't care how much negative impact they may have on someone else.
That's not to say the majority of people are like that, but as a counselor, I have learned that those who don't want to change won't--no matter how many good reasons there are to change.
