The instructor emphasizes cultural behaviors in the Deaf community, such as the significance of eye contact and the preferred ways to gain attention without sound. Additionally, the video explains the identity and cultural pride associated with being 'Deaf' as opposed to the medical perspective of being 'deaf'.
