Part 4/5:
Despite these challenges, the community emphasizes resilience and strength. They advise fellow deaf individuals not to be discouraged by misunderstandings or prejudices. The message is clear: deaf people are strong and capable of independence. For those privileged enough to have hearing parents, there's encouragement to build self-sufficiency, exemplified by simple acts such as asking for hot water or performing daily tasks independently.
This narrative promotes empowerment, advocating for deaf individuals to take control of their lives and not be overly reliant on others, including family. It also encourages society to be more accepting and understanding, recognizing that deafness is not a weakness but a part of identity that carries its own strengths.
