Language: The Barrier Between AmericansJoin now to read essay Language: The Barrier Between AmericansLanguage: the barrier between AmericansClearly, language can be a barrier. America is made of many different cultures although we are all Americans living in the same country, we are still somewhat separated. Our cultures are so different that we just don’t understand where people are coming from. Just think if we could all understand each other and come together with different ideas. We could make great things happen.
America needs to come together and create one identity, an identity in which we can communicate on the same level with one another. Language is who you are. If you can understand someone else’s language and culture, you can understand them and show respect to their way of life. As ——- says in ———————, “If a person has a low estimation of my native tongue, she also has a low estimation of me.” If you could connect with someone on that level, knowing where they come from and how they think, you could open up a whole new world of possibilities. And who knows, you might even like their culture and way of living. You could better connect with that person and be better equipped
[Footnote: The phrase “language is who you are” is in an earlier work that I did when I had to stop blogging and just focus on my books. Many of the ideas and practices in #8212] have been discussed elsewhere. It’s my feeling that a group of very different people would rather be engaged in conversations about this sort of thing than having it go hand in hand at the table.]
On the one hand, there are a lot of things on the subject of #8212 in a lot of places. Some of them I’ve seen through other eyes and some of them are definitely less of a concern, but they are important.
I would actually like to talk about a lot of those, because I think we were kind of left out there in the world. That’s a problem.
For example, some people I met about two years ago or three years ago that were there but not connected, said that they were not very familiar with some of the things being discussed in #8212, but they are talking about the issue of language in a deeper sense, which is why they were especially concerned about #8212, because it’s clear that there’s a very big gap in language learning being made by people who don’t have a much greater awareness about English and what makes one feel very connected to it and that being so immersed in the language and knowing that language, can really improve the human condition if it’s integrated into basic education in our society, rather than being shoved in the background.
Because that’s not how people feel about language and language comprehension: the things people want in a person who doesn’t speak English in a very particular way, for example. I think that’s one of the reasons we don’t always have those two separate points of view.
[Footnote: A number of authors and journalists, including myself, have spoken out because] I do think language is quite a complex thing, and I think it’s hard for a country or a political party to fully understand the complexity of English. So being part of an international audience, as well as being able to understand what you are reading in your own language and understand the meaning of things that you do, is a big accomplishment.
Of course, a lot of countries have different views or agendas in terms of using linguistic skills and other resources. It’s very helpful for a lot of people with disabilities and people with disabilities who go to school or work, to go out and spend more time practicing their language and learn the vocabulary associated with what they’re doing well.
It’s the same at work, for example. I mean, in my place, you get
