CRABTHEORYOPPRESSION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY First, the minorities will prevent members of their communities from succeeding through education, jobs, or the accumulation of wealth and/or honors. Should a member of a minority group succeed above all the others, those who are left in the bucket will mock, criticize, and all but disown the members that make it out of the bucket.

Deaf community WEAKNESS • Education • Deaf Schools closing? • Mainstream education • Isolation/identity • Technology • Further • Limited interpreter funding • Barriers in workplace • Glass ceiling in career • Attitude of society • Over the world Deaf Clubs are closing • Deaf avoiding Deaf community Will Deaf Community become extinct?
