How Are Deaf Clubs, Which Are Organized Around Common Interests

question 8

Essay

How are deaf clubs, which are organized around common interests, any different than any other "mainstream" club or organization? Is it only deafness that makes this subculture a subculture and this group perceived as deviant? If the process of social organization is the same, what does this tell us about the role power and labeling play in defining normalcy and deviation?
