As I take a look at code-switching, I have found out that mankind uses it daily like economics. It is amazing how we use it without thinking of it. When I first found out the definition of code-switching, I thought to myself and said I cannot deny that at all. Code-switching is the practice of alternating between two or more languages or varieties of language in conversation. Since finding out more about this topic, I have examined myself as I used it. There are plenty of ways that it can be utilized. Code-switching is associated with social media applications such as Twitter, Facebook, and Linked In. It may be used by the following: iMessage, FaceTime, Skype, and GroupMe. As we examine the difference in my conversation there are many reasons

I have used it while in high school, on the job, and in the military. I currently used it while attending Claflin University talking with my professors, peers, and administrative personnel. In part “a” of my conversation, I used my text messages with a family friend who name is Davise Angevine. We have been friends or as we like to state, “Brothers from another mother” since 2011. He was totally fine with me using our dialogue for this class. As in part A, you will find slang, misspelled words, and grammatical errors. I used that language with most of my friends and family members except one. I do not utilize it with my cousin. He believes that it is pointless because it’s doing more harm than good. In some approaches, I agree with him because it can ruin our grammar, vocabulary, and writing skill. For example, if it is summertime and I do not engage myself in improving my grammar, vocabulary, or writing skills the prescribed way, then I may lose …show more content…
As a positive emotion, there are two ways that I look at it. The first positive way that I need to keep in mind is that I am practicing for the real world. By that I mean if I want to get a job, go into self-entrepreneurship, or represent a group or organization publicly, I will need to decode my talk. To be honest I think the reason for decoding is to sound professional, intelligent, and to be presentable at any given moment. The second positive way are to think as if I have my own business. I want to keep the workers, partners, and customers. By decoding my language, I will persuade them to stay with me rather than going to someone who does not decode their language. As a negative emotion, there are also two ways that I check this out. The first and most recent one is when my cousin invited me and his friend to go to an investing workshop with him. I was all down for it and ready to go. When we got there and started learning investment strategies, they would give us a short break. Every break my cousin went to one of the instructors and asked a few questions while I either watched him, got something to drink, or use the restroom. When we went back to his house that night he asked me why I never went to ask any questions. I told him that I was not sure how to phrase the questions in intelligent ways. Only if I knew then that it was called decoding, then I probably would have been better off. The second negative way was
