1.) Deaf Culture
2.) Coffee
3.) Smoking

3.) Smoking why people smoke, how many people smoke. What are the side effects.

2.) Coffee: i work at a coffee shop
3.) Smoking: i have no connection to smoking, but i am curious about it.

* subject area that I am interested in researching this semester. (everything I know about this subject and three questions that pinpoint what I don't. Highlight the keywords in those questions to use as search terms.)
Deaf Culture:
-Q 1: Does a Deaf person has as good of a chance as being successful as a heading person?Are there equal rights for Deaf people? are all places accommodating for them?
-Q2: Do they like to be called Deaf?
