Exuberant English

The English language seems set to dominate world communications for some time to come. Although dominance brings with it a degree of standardization, it is not the case that English is losing its variety, either within countries or across the globe. Current research suggests that, rather than dwindling, differences in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation continue to allow people to express multiple identities. The fear of some linguists that mass communications would lead to the death of English dialects appears to be unfounded.

In our school, I've been so immersed in participating in the various competitions that I've been unaware of what's happening to me. I've become much more confident these days. These contests broadened my horizons, too. The sponsoring clubs, along with the Professors, have truly focused on raising the importance of the English language. And that's good, isn't it? I'll get used to it actually. After all, speaking English is a bliss.

The English language is not limited only to education. You can use the language anywhere or anytime you want! If it's the only language you can use to blurt your hearts out. It may only be the second language of my country, it's the English language that I use when I speak alone. It's the universal language, is it not? I continue to improve my skills by writing on a journal, reading contemporary novels, and yes, speaking, but not on public. I speak as if I'm in a theater and that only happens when I'm alone, but I'll get over that soon, perhaps. As for writing, I pour my feelings as words into the sleek sheets of paper, and I am impressed by the exuberant words the writers of books have to offer the readers.

Equality!

“In their quest for rights they have naturally placed emphasis on their wrongs, rather than their achievements and possessions…”

-          Mary Ritter Beard

Some individuals have no respect for their rights. It is impossible for an individual to succeed in exhibiting his opportunities if his rights are abused. If the people’s rights had been properly organized, then there would have been any social reforms, which would save a lot of trouble.

To understand the nature and sets of rights proper for man, it is necessary to attend to his character. So far it is from being true, as has been pretended, binding the society with proper rights gives the individuals free will, and being covered by the law of course, for anyone can commit a crime by simply using the rights.

“All men are created equal.”

-          Martin Luther King, Jr.

With equality, men and women should not constantly be harassing each other; be its race, religion, or position. This is not a note, nor is it a report. Even if it happens to turn into one of those, I will be happy. I hate to use such a platitudinous line, but I imagine that by the time anyone lays eyes on these words, I hope they realize that people should be given equal rights. I hardly need to remind the reader about the epic battle of the protesters and activists. Their instrument is their own words, their defense and offense to any critical question. Their own perspective;  pathetically mature way of thinking. Looking back, I can only surmise that the gods of victory always smile down on them. Perhaps they actually wanted a perfect world ruled by equality. Taking for instance, Martin Luther King, Jr. He led the Civil Rights Movement, and he has convinced the government with no violent resistance. His words freed the struggle of his race. Perhaps they will know that equal rights and opportunities can lead them to progress, as long as it isn't abused or whatever. Who knows? I, for one, have no intention of wasting any more time thinking about this most negative series of events. I believe in altruism, and one day, if God permits, we shall all be working together, not being too selfish, towards great progress.
