Answer:
Breaking down stigmas

Rich communication doesn't have to be
verbal.
One of the ways the Deaf distinguish themselves as a culture is by capitalizing the word Deaf and working to change mainstream America’s attitude. The Deaf culture doesn’t believe in using the word "disabled" because that word makes implies “less than”—as though they are lacking something. By removing the label, they are also removing any stigma that might be attached.
“It’s about perspective,” Deaf advocate Eileen O’Banion said. “When you are Deaf, you see the world in a different way. You communicate differently. You seek out others who are Deaf because they understand you. You don’t believe you have a disability—and you don’t want to be fixed.”
In fact, some advocates even speak about "Deaf gain," a communication advantage afforded to those who must use means other than verbal language. The idea is that deaf people have more meaningful and intentional connection because they cannot hear.
Tough choices around cochlear implants
Meghan Watt lost her hearing after contracting HIB meningitis at the age of two. A conversation with a middle high school teacher piqued her interest in cochlear implant (CI) surgery, even though she admits she wasn’t always keen on the idea. Today, she has bilateral cochlear implants.
Meghan is aware there is controversy among certain factions of the Deaf community regarding cochlear implants and is comfortable with the choices she’s made. “Some don’t approve of CIs and that’s that,” she explained matter-of-factly. “If they’re happy being Deaf, that’s great. That’s their decision. I like being able to hear what’s going on around me.”
Some members of the Deaf community are opposed to cochlear implant surgery—especially for infants who are born without hearing. They believe every person deserves the right to choose for themselves whether they want to remain Deaf and encourage parents to begin teaching ASL as the baby’s first language. Some activists believe learning language and cognitive development through ASL is a basic human right that should be protected and that choosing cochlear implants steers families away from learning ASL and embracing Deaf culture.
Audism and oralism
Nine out of 10 Deaf infants are born to hearing parents. Many of those parents choose cochlear implant surgery as soon as they are medically able because it helps their child with speech development.
But the Deaf culture believes mainstream hearing America puts too much emphasis on the spoken word. They maintain ASL is a complete language, even though they don’t produce words with their mouths and voices.
Some activists talk about audism—an attitude of superiority based on an ability to hear—and oralism—advocacy or use of the oral method of teaching Deaf students to speak. Audism and oralism, activists maintain, degrade ASL and interfere with the Deaf person’s ability to develop speech and listening skills.
“Deaf culture is important because it allows individuals to be who they are,” O’Banion explained, “and live in a way that is unique to them. There’s more to a person than whether or not they can hear, so don’t just focus on their ears.”
American Sign Language (ASL)
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), ASL is a complete, complex language consisting of signs made by the hands, facial expressions and body language. The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) calls ASL the “backbone of the American Deaf culture.”
“Many who are not familiar with ASL think it’s English and hand gestures,” O’Banion said. “It’s not. Signing is different between countries and regions, much like the spoken word is different between countries and regions.”
While the origins of sign language are not clear, most agree that it began almost 200 years ago and has been evolving ever since. Like modern language, sign language has different accents, rhythms, rules for pronunciation, word order and grammar. The language is so complex, some members of Deaf culture say they can identify when a person learned ASL simply by observing the way they sign.
How to communicate with a Deaf person
Fortunately, you don’t need to know ASL in order to know how to communicate with a Deaf person. According to a tip sheet developed by the Rochester Institute of Technology, one of the country’s premiere learning institutions for the Deaf, there are five guidelines to remember when communicating with the Deaf.
Acknowledge the fact that your first attempts to communicate will feel awkward and uncomfortable. This will pass as your interaction progresses.
It’s OK to use paper and pen. In fact, the Deaf person will appreciate your efforts even more if you use a combination of communication methods, such as hand gestures, facial expressions and the written word.

3. What is the difference between the importance of English and the importance of Filipino language to the Filipino nation?
Answer:
English and Tagalog are completely unrelated languages. English is a Germanic language in the Indo-European family. Tagalog is a Philippine language in the Austronesian family. Grammatically and phonologically they are quite different.
Answer:
The importance of the english language to the Filipinos is mirrored through the global competitiveness of the country. We interact with other countries because we negiotiate with them everyday. Our businesses and trade with foreigners would be useless without the use of a common mode of communication which all parties could understand--and that is english, the universal language.
Explanation:
The importance of the Filipino language--our language--is a completely different matter. We use the national laguage Filipino because it is the common ground of ALL sons and daughters of the Philippine nation. Before we learn to interact and adapt to the rest of the world, we first must have harmony among ourselves and understand each other. That is through the use of Filipino.

What is the difference between a social issue and a social problem?
Answer:
Actually they’re both the same depending upon the mindset of who’s asking the question.
Explanation:
A social issue is one that concerns a large number of people, many of whom have different views on what’s at stake and how to alleviate the problem. A social problem is generally one that’s received a lot more publicity and exposure and therefore generates a larger and often nastier response from those who care to respond. So basically the difference between the two is the amount of publicity they generate.
