How Time Has Changed Language

Ever since we have been a country, the English language has been a key catalyst in driving our successes. For any respective body of people, language is imperative for things to be done, commands to be completed, or feelings to be heard. As we have grown as a world society, the customs and or norms of how we speak to each other has changed drastically.
The way we could see that language has changed overtime is due to how we have subliminally set in place certain standards as to how we should communicate with others. In almost all instances, one can expect that the tone or volume of how they speak can differ the way others interpret us. Many times, as we carry on in our lives, we make decisions on how we should speak to someone whether that is in an office environment, an intense argument, or casually chatting with friends. All these dissimilar environments or situations bring along different people that determine the manner of how one chooses to communicate.

    Hello,

    The information you’ve provided is very interesting. I think you should add more information about how time has changed language. Did you use any websites to find this information? If you did use websites, don’t forget to add them. In the second paragraph, add different ways we can communicate with each other. I agree, that we do make decisions on how we speak within different environments. Is there more information you can add in the second sentence? By adding more information to the second sentence, it will help explain the details you’ve added. Good job with your research. See you in class!

    This is an idea that has legs (or wings) if you continue to develop it. Think of the languages spoken here in America before the Spanish, French, Dutch, and English arrived. There were hundreds of Native American languages, and all these languages together (and the rules of communication when so many different cultural groups start to merge) have evolved the English we speak. Just compare American English to British or Australian English for example--showing different ways of addressing someone, or the varying names of things, shows how much the American language has evolved on this continent. Keep going!

American Utopia? Is This Possible?

Image
The question "What would make America a Utopia?" is rather subjective. This is because everyone has different opinions on what a perfect society looks like and how it operates. The short answer for what would make America a utopia, (while keeping everyone individual opinions and values in mind) is there is no answer. Unless people were to somehow ditch their personal opinions and abide by any laws with absolutely no resistance whatsoever, a utopia in America can not be. The power of the human will is what makes such a view difficult or even impossible to create. One could even go as far as saying a utopia in America would be one with no laws and no order, in other words, absolute chaos. Chaos is the natural order of life; where there are no laws, people would be free to act as they please. However, if I were to be asked what would make America a utopia based off of my own values, morals, and opinions, I would describe it as a " interdependent Confederation of societi...

The Make of Car Doesn't Make The Man

There are many sub-cultures in America that are constantly being disputed, most common of which being gun culture. One not commonly spoken of is the car culture in America.  Photo  Credit Photo  Credit There are many different makes (brands) of vehicles, a few common  being Ford, Toyota, etc. The high performance built models of these different brands are grouped as either Muscle or Tuner cars. Muscle cars are cars from America, and include Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge. Tuner cars are cars that are generally from Japan, such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda.  The two cars pictured above, to the untrained eye, are just two random cars. To car enthusiasts, however, these are a couple of gems. The left is a 1970 Ford Torino (muscle car), and the right is a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R (tuner). These two cars are really only different in one way: how they like to go fast, and these two go VERY fast.  The muscle cars are big and hea...

What is American Culture?

Image
   There are many cultures in every country. The United States is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. People have their own traditions, and celebrate their own holidays differently than other people. Everyone is completely different, and do each thing differently due to their culture and what that person grew up doing. There is no official  language  in America. Every language in the world like Spanish, Chinese, Aerobic etc. are all spoken by a variety of individuals. Some states have official languages like, English and Hawaiian is the official languages in Hawaii.  Religion  is also a big part of American culture nearly, every known religion is practiced in the United States. The religion in the United States was founded on the bias of religious freedom. The number of people who identify with no religion seems to be increasing.   For international students  American Culture  can be difficult fo...
