What do they use sign language for?
Sign language is primarily used for communication with and amongst Deaf people. It is integral to their culture. it is also used to educate Deaf people, as it is their natural language.
Is the word deaf supposed to be capitalized?
I personally have a hearing impairment and I would prefer to be called hearing impaired. But I guess you could use the word deaf. As for capitalization it depends who you ask. Those in the deaf culture prefer to say Deaf and call their culture Deaf culture. After all, if you say someone is French or British it is capitalized. You are referring to their identity. If you just want to say someone is deaf, as in hearing loss, and without connoting a culture of signing in their own language, you could say "hard of hearing", "hearing loss", "hearing impaired", "deaf", or "oral deaf" meaning a deaf person who hears and speaks to some extent and is grounded in hearing society rather than Deaf culture.Deaf, capitalized is politicized and I personally believe it is more fit for editorials or personal views rather than for news reporting.Do you call black people "Black People"?Do you call white people "White People"?Do you call tan people "Tan People"?For more on this topic see this article:http://tomwillard.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/big-d-deaf-seems-big-headed-to-me/

Who started the deaf culture?
No one person started the deaf culture. The culture of the deaf community has evolved as those without hearing have come together to bond with others who understand their way of life and issues that affect them as a whole.
What are some behavioral norms for Deaf culture?
The behavioral norms for deaf culture include a more direct communication, which may be interpreted as a bluntness, by those outside the culture. Deaf people must rely more heavily on their sense of sight and so when it comes to events such as theater they tend to get there earlier than their hearing counterparts in order to achieve a better position for visual clarity. Furthermore, the frequency of deaf people is a lot smaller than the rest and so relationships may be a lot tighter and more interconnected.
Why do deaf people ignore others?
Deaf people are no different than other people, except for the fact they can't hear. They don't ignore others on purpose anymore than anyone else. They are deaf and don't always know when they are being spoken to. Likewise, plenty of deaf folks believe that hearing people are ignoring them. A lot of people feel uncomfortable around deaf people since they cannot speak their language. The hearing people get in their groups and get to talking, and forget about those who cannot hear them. That is why there is even a bit of a deaf supremacy attitude in some deaf circles, because they feel excluded by those who can hear. Some take that attitude to a militant extreme, like the couple who wanted genetic engineering done to ensure they had a deaf child, and the deaf folks who consider people with cochlear implants to be sellouts.
