Deaf Awareness Month by Chelsea Turville

The lack of Deaf voices in these spaces shape society's understanding of Deaf people by having strong actions over strong voices.

2025-09-23 15:37:40 UTC

The lack of deaf voices might be becuase people dont want to take the time to try and understand them and help to communicate easy but instead they do the opposite hearing people then think they can take advantage over Deaf people.

2025-09-23 15:38:14 UTC

The lack of Deaf people in our community can easily shape our understanding by hearing people being educated. People say that the Deaf community is a closed community, but it really isn't. It's just that hearing people don't know how to communicate with them, or just don't want to. Maybe if there were more Deaf people, hearing people wouldn't be so uneducated about the Deaf.

2025-09-23 15:38:24 UTC

I think the lack of Deaf voices is because everyone thinks its an easy fix just to put a hearing aid in and not listen to how Deaf people feel.

2025-09-23 15:38:27 UTC

The lack of deaf voices can shape society's understanding of deaf people by bringing thoughts or criticism for not many people see a deaf person.

2025-09-23 15:38:52 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices in the spaces shapes society's understanding of deaf people by not taking the time to understand and some hearing people try to take advantage of them.

If we didn't have deaf representation in society, deaf people would probably feel like they need to hide and stay away from people. Society wouldn't really understand how deaf people communicate or live in their daily lives.

2025-09-23 15:39:14 UTC

The lack of deaf voices should be heard by everyone, just because they can't hear doesn't make them less of a human because they have feelings and emotions like us hearing people do.

hrojas64470 — 2025-09-23 15:39:21 UTC

Have a strong action over the negative

2025-09-23 15:39:27 UTC

The lack of Deaf voice can lead to people not having any respect for Deaf people and realizing that they are still human beings. The lack of the voice can also cause no understanding of how Deaf people interact with one another.

bho40358 — 2025-09-23 15:39:31 UTC

If this was the case, the lack of deaf voices might make others believe more myths about deaf people. They would understand them less, and probably won't be as friendly towards them.

2025-09-23 15:39:34 UTC

The lack of deaf voices could affect the way the community is seen, the community is large and strong, and people may not see that at times because of the lack of representation around the world for this community.

2025-09-23 15:39:39 UTC

The absence of Deaf voices in various spaces really shows how society sees Deaf people, often leading to misunderstandings and stereotypes since without their input, people miss out on the rich culture and unique perspectives that Deaf individuals bring to the table, which can ultimately shape policies, education, and even social norms in ways that don’t truly reflect their needs or experiences.

2025-09-23 15:40:00 UTC

The Lack of deaf people can bring a miss understanding or assumtions to the deaf community they wont be as "welcomed" or understood as they are now.

2025-09-23 15:40:07 UTC

I think the lack of deaf voices can help shape society's way of being able to understand how to communicate and be able to have more of a conversation

lfarris38348 — 2025-09-23 15:40:13 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices in media, education, and leadership shapes society's understanding of Deaf people today because the voices may not be "loud" enough to fully spread awareness. Many people assume things about the Deaf community without even bothering to ask someone in the community.

2025-09-23 15:40:40 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices in our community may create misconceptions about deaf people and cause hearing people to believe something that isn't true. If there were no representation as well, there might be little to no information about Deaf people, causing others to not take being Deaf seriously.

2025-09-23 15:40:45 UTC

the lack of deaf voices make people intimidated or scared to talk to people so they rely on lip-reading and hearing aids

kholland63966 — 2025-09-23 15:40:46 UTC

The shortage of Deaf voices in the spaces shape society's understanding Deaf people causes hearing people to have an already viewed stereotype of Deaf people that could be offensive or harmful to how they feel. If more Deaf representation it would show how the Deaf get mistreated and automatically get placed under a category they would not enjoy.

2025-09-23 15:40:52 UTC

If you judge the deaf it just shows your a negative person

2025-09-23 15:40:54 UTC

The lack of deaf voices should be heard by everyone, I think we should all try our best to communicate and understand the community instead of them trying to understand us and communicate with us.

2025-09-23 16:17:27 UTC

The lack of deaf voices can

stunt deaf kids or new deaf individuals from finding their community
deaf people can't relate to media because characters aren't being depicted as deaf or using ASL
Deaf sterotypes can spread mis information about the deaf community and this happens when we don't listen to the community or make assumtions

a lack of those who are differently abled makes those are are fully abled more ignorant.

2025-09-23 17:02:58 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices need to be raised they need people to understand them and how their treated.

2025-09-23 17:03:05 UTC

Society may not be aware just how large and widespread the community is. It may stunt deaf people from finding their identity and feeling like they belong. Deaf stereotype would be spread as well, and their wouldn't be accurate representation via character or person.

2025-09-23 17:03:09 UTC

Uhm the lack of deaf voices in our communitys can make it harder for whoever is deaf to really feel as if they fit in..?

2025-09-23 17:03:15 UTC

if there are no Deaf peolpe to show what its like for them to be in that profession then society ignores deaf peolpe.

2025-09-23 17:04:21 UTC

2025-09-23 17:05:29 UTC

there might be a lick of deaf voices because some hearing people might just expect deaf people to speak for the hearing persons benefit instead of trying to understand the deaf persons needs or requirements.

2025-09-23 17:05:45 UTC

The lack of deaf voices can make it hard for people to feel like they belong and it may make people feel left out.

2025-09-23 18:14:29 UTC

the lack of Deaf voices in these spaces shape society's understanding of Deaf people by having strong actions over strong voices.

2025-09-23 18:14:46 UTC

Without deaf people sharing their wants and needs as a community people may take an idea- that may or may not be suitable for every deaf person- and run with it.

2025-09-23 18:14:49 UTC

the lack of deaf people in these spaces can shape society's understanding of them to be different from the truth.

2025-09-23 18:15:32 UTC

The lack of deaf voices in theses spaces can shape society's understanding of deaf people because of the fact that hearing people will keep stereotyping deaf people.

2025-09-23 18:15:47 UTC

It excludes communities of people who have new ideas, leadership skills. The lack of Deaf voices in society lead people to look down upon them and prevents people from being able to learn about their culture.

adeike62021 — 2025-09-23 18:16:46 UTC

i think the lask of deaf voices is because everyone thinks its a easy fix just to put in a hearing aid in and not listen to how deaf people feel

jweidenbener49774 — 2025-09-23 18:50:11 UTC

I'm not sure, I'm tired. :(

2025-09-23 18:50:49 UTC

the lack of dead people in these spaces can make society's understanding of deaf people a little hard and can make hearing people assume different things about deaf people which can be negative

2025-09-23 19:44:43 UTC

IDK

2025-09-23 19:44:47 UTC

I think that there is a lack of deafness is maybe its not relevant or they don't think that it is common so people don't recognize it so there no awareness and deaf people don't spread awarness

2025-09-23 19:44:48 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices can lead to society misunderstanding the Deaf community as well as their culture because they instead make assumptions.

2025-09-23 19:44:54 UTC

The lack of deaf people in certain spaces can make society severely misunderstand Deaf People and things like their culture or feelings.

2025-09-23 19:45:18 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices can shape society's understanding of Deaf people into making more misunderstandings about Deaf people since there's no one to correct hearing people.

2025-09-23 19:46:42 UTC

Deaf people also have a voice like anyone else so don't think they would be lower then you because they are deaf .

2025-09-23 19:47:14 UTC

Death people can do what people can hear and they are grate at it.

2025-09-23 19:47:14 UTC

some wouldn't care about learning sign language and wouldn't know about Deaf people

2025-09-23 19:47:19 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices will mean lack of understanding to non-deaf people and have misunderstandings.

2025-09-23 19:48:06 UTC

they think that some people don't wanna learn or hear them out because they cant hear but some times you gotta go up to the person and say hi

lshanklin38068 — 2025-09-23 19:48:30 UTC

deaf people also have feelings and want to be treated the same as hearing people and they don't want you to be scared to talk to them

2025-09-23 19:48:30 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices can make it hard for others to get a better understanding of deaf people's culture and can cause hearing people to not try to learn what they can do to help instead of walking away when they don't understand.

2025-09-23 19:48:33 UTC

the lack of deaf voices might not let people understand

2025-09-23 19:49:06 UTC

If there was a lack of deaf voices more deaf people would be left unheard and misunderstood.

2025-09-23 19:49:14 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices can lead to misunderstandings and assumptions. Deaf people are still human beings, we should treat them no different.

The lack of Deaf voices can lead to the lack of non-deaf people's understanding of Deaf people in society.

2025-09-23 19:49:30 UTC

the lack of deaf representation would have a negative effect on society, because people would have no idea and there would probably be misinformation everywhere.

The lack of Deaf voices in these spaces shape society's understanding of deaf people by having strong actions over strong voices

2025-09-23 19:50:24 UTC

deaf people can do the same as non deaf people can do and they might be better

2025-09-23 19:50:53 UTC

Deaf people have feelings and want to be treated the same way as everybody else. They don't want hearing people to be afraid to talk to them.

2025-09-23 19:51:00 UTC

it might help others learn asl to sign to deaf people

2025-09-23 19:51:06 UTC

The lack of deaf voices in these societies can show what other people think about deaf people. This can lead to stereotypes, assumptions and other myths about deaf people in their society. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

2025-09-23 19:51:16 UTC

The lack of deaf voices makes it so being deaf is an unknown concept to hearing people and creates a barrier between hearing and deaf people. It's harder to connect with people when they aren't potrayed often in media.

2025-09-23 19:51:30 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices can be negative because Deaf people aren't treated the same way as hearing people are.

2025-09-23 19:51:39 UTC

The lack of deaf voices might not help people understand

2025-09-23 19:53:18 UTC

i think the lack of D/deaf representation in media and result in the affect that people wont be used to seeing deaf people and wont know how to act around non-hearing individuals. it will only lead to more confusion which is why its so important that there is some kind of D/deaf representation in some kind media.

2025-09-23 19:53:34 UTC

we wouldnt have as good of a understanding of deaf people.

2025-09-23 20:40:51 UTC

idk

2025-09-23 20:42:02 UTC

we wouldn't understand deaf people

2025-09-23 20:42:13 UTC

the lack of voices means that less would hear about them therefore theyd be overshadowed by countless other voices

2025-09-23 20:42:29 UTC

I would say the lack of media for deaf people, there isn't enough representation in the world, I would also say there's a lack in not being able understand each other.

2025-09-23 20:42:30 UTC

We wouldn't understand deaf people as good

2025-09-23 20:43:18 UTC

Their lack of deaf is that they won't be able to hear our communication and understanding. But I know that Deaf people are just like us hearing people, they do the same thing, they actually deserved to have rights.

2025-09-23 20:44:16 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices in these spaces of education, representation, and leadership shape society's understanding or deaf people by really communication and its a problem for people.

2025-09-23 20:44:21 UTC

The lack of deaf voices in social media and education might make it more difficult for hearing people to understand deaf people and how they're aren't that different from hearing people.

2025-09-23 20:44:27 UTC

The lack of deaf people might shape society's understandings negatively since they aren't really aware or able to communicate properly with those that are deaf

2025-09-23 20:44:30 UTC

deaf people would be harder to understand

2025-09-23 20:44:34 UTC

I wouldn't understand what be said

ablock73644 — 2025-09-23 20:44:54 UTC

If we didn't have as many deaf we would probably have a lot of misinterpretations on the deaf.

abonsynat64754 — 2025-09-23 20:45:56 UTC

A lack of deaf voices will make the communities unseen and not get any attention meaning some deaf people won't be able to learn ASL or other sign languages meaning that some deaf people will not have anyone to communicate with.

2025-09-23 20:46:20 UTC

The lack of understanding deaf people and not letting them speak up is very sad and makes them feel as if they don't have a voice or choice

2025-09-23 20:46:21 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices in these spaces might shape society's understanding of Deaf people by the affect that most of our society would probably not "see" the Deaf culture and with the people who contribute in communities of Deaf, they help develop the knowledge of hearing people throughout the world, mostly applying to the hearing world.

2025-09-23 20:46:24 UTC

The lack of representation for the deaf in certain careers or media may make other deaf people think the you're not allowed to be those certain things if you're deaf, or it's not possible to achieve.

2025-09-23 20:46:35 UTC

There might be an even greater lack of understanding of Deaf individuals than there is today!! And that is already so few!! And there is already so much stigma against Deaf people!!!!

2025-09-23 20:46:41 UTC

We wouldn't know as much about Deaf people, and never get to hear their individual experiences.

amccarthy40882 — 2025-09-23 20:47:13 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices in media, education, and leadership would lead to hearing people not knowing much or anything about deaf people. It might also lead to an increase in the belief of harmful and incorrect stereotypes about deaf people.

2025-09-23 20:47:14 UTC

Because most deaf people might not get represented like other people

2025-09-23 20:47:23 UTC

The lack of d/Deaf voices shape society's version on deaf people because there aren't many that speak up about D/deaf culture.

2025-09-23 20:47:23 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices in society lessens are understanding of Deaf people. Without having a community of deaf people to help us understand, most hearing people only will want to communicate that way, forcing deaf people to speak out of their own comfort.

2025-09-23 20:47:40 UTC

The lack of Deaf People would be hard to understand

jsimms41022_ — 2025-09-23 21:12:13 UTC

A lack of Deaf voices might make it difficult for us to understand how to be better when communicating. It also might make it difficult for hearing people to socialize and communicate if they don't understand because there is a lack of Deaf voices.

2025-09-23 21:12:15 UTC

the lack of deaf people in certain spaces can make society not understand Deaf people and their culture.

2025-09-23 21:21:34 UTC

the lack of deaf vioces in these different spaces such as frend groups, home, etc spae societiy understanding of deaf people becuase like most things if your not taught about something you ethier never find out, or your left to figure things out n your own. This is not good because if you were to meet a deaf person but know nothig of them and try to talk to them it might come off it a deaf person as offencive and if they dont reply to you might take it offecisivly, which then turns into a bad time for everyone

2025-09-23 21:28:43 UTC

No one would really be aware of d/Deaf culture, ASL, etc. Then people wouldn't think that Deaf people or the Deaf community aren't capable of anything, especially if no one spreads awareness, like the Deaf voices in the community.

2025-09-23 21:29:12 UTC

A loss of d/Deaf voices would thouroughly influence the general public's opinion on d/Deaf folks. They would certainly be thought of as lesser people rather than equals due to lack of understanding.

2025-09-23 21:44:33 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices shape society's understanding of Deaf people because not everyone realizes that most have preferences on how to communicate and trying to be nice by slowing down your words may actually offend them.

2025-09-23 21:45:15 UTC

A lack of Deaf voices in Deaf representation in media would inaccurately portray them as a community. A lack of understanding due to inaccurate representation would further harm the Deaf community. Deaf voices being included in Deaf representation in media, education, and leadership would positively impact both the Deaf and hearing world, and would create a better understanding of the community itself.

2025-09-23 21:45:22 UTC

Nobody would understand deaf culture or think much of it if there wasn't awareness spread about it.

2025-09-23 21:45:57 UTC

The lack of these voices in these spaces shaoed society of Deaf people because they wont be able to ask questions or understand them without ever meeting a Deaf person

2025-09-23 21:46:02 UTC

the lack of deaf voices in those spaces might shape society's understanding by not completly understanding their culture and lanuage.

2025-09-23 21:46:24 UTC

It's important to have deaf people represented in the media because it can give deaf kids someone to look up to and for hearing people to understand more about the deaf world. The lack of representation can harm our understanding and empathy.

2025-09-23 21:46:35 UTC

It would probably make a lot of things very confusing for someone who is deaf and wanting to be a part of a community that will understand them

2025-09-23 21:46:40 UTC

The lack of deaf voices in these situations is hard on them. They try to speak up, but litterly cant. We should try and understand them ourselves instead of them all alone trying to figure out how to speak up.

2025-09-23 21:46:53 UTC

2025-09-23 21:46:57 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices would shape society's understanding of Deaf people by not haveing their culture be spread

2025-09-23 21:47:00 UTC

The lack of Deaf voices in society will alter society's perspective of how deaf people really feel and their abilities.

2025-09-23 21:47:05 UTC

they'll think deaf people are not educated and disabled and not see them as the regular human beings they are. They'll misunderstand them

2025-09-23 21:47:29 UTC

deaf people can be what they want. deaf people can make there own desisions.

2025-09-23 21:47:32 UTC

Lack of Deaf voices in these spaces may shape society's understanding of Deaf people because there's not enough people to speak up for it so society may not understand Deaf people.

2025-09-23 21:48:30 UTC

I think that no one would care nor make any changes so that way Deaf people are able to live a semi-normal life and they would be ostracized

2025-09-23 21:48:31 UTC

it would shape society by not having enough people to help teach society about being Deaf.

The lack of understanding makes d/Deaf people feel like their less than or they are treated less than, people need to be aware of this and not make then feel or treat d/Deaf people like this, they are human beings just like you and deserve to be treated the same as you not less than.

The lack of Deaf voices in these spaces might lead to society thinking less of d/Deaf people and not seeing them as 'normal' people as we are. Without these voices, no one can learn about the importance of Deaf culture

The Thing about deaf people is that they don't socialize a lot which shapes the situation in a lot Because deafs Couldn't fit in the modern world (am spongebob btw)

The lack of Deaf voices in these spaces may shape todays society of understanding Deaf people as being dumb or lesser than non Deaf people. Not having Deaf voices will more than likely lead to some Deaf individuals feeling lesser than everyone else.

If Deaf voices are not included, people may believe stereotypes or misunderstand Deaf culture. This can make society see Deaf people as less capable instead of equal and valuable.

The lack of deaf voices in these spaces might lead people in society to believe that deaf people aren't able to accomplish these great feats.

The lack of Deaf voices in media, education, and leadership can create misunderstandings and stereotypes about Deaf people. Without authentic representation, society may only see Deafness through the perspective of hearing individuals, which often overlooks the strengths, culture, and identity of the Deaf community. This can lead to harmful assumptions, such as viewing Deaf people as less capable instead of recognizing them as equals who simply communicate differently. When Deaf voices are excluded, opportunities for awareness and inclusion are lost, but when they are present, society gains a more accurate understanding, breaks down barriers, and promotes true equity.
