Indifferences of Prejudices
The article by Zanottini was published by the pacific standard. Basically, this article is about the manner in which people look negatively at other forms of English that are somewhat not prestigious. According to Zanottini the prejudice that is usually demonstrated by people who usually speak correct English is just a reflection of their bias against the groups of people who speak the non-prestigious English. Apart from that, she puts across the idea that the numerous grammatical errors in how such people speak are actually a recipe that is well developed in its own to suite the wide variety of English speakers. Looking at the other article, The Perils of Indifference by Elie Wiesel is another one that …show more content…
While fighting the World War II, people had in mind that they are fighting for a good course not knowing that things might shift to another deadly direction where people will be ruthlessly murdered and being blown by atomic bombs. The World War II never brought the results that it was expected to, this is characterized by the repeat of all the things that more than a million soldiers died with the hope that they will stop. People from the minority population were brutally murdered while countries engaged in blood wars just because of religion or issues to do with the borders. Elie Wiesel was a victim of imprisonment at Buchenwald and Auschwitz. Apart from that, he became an orphan at a tender age; he saw his parents and sister killed by the Nazis. This is a man who went through a lot and suffered unimaginably. Luckily, he managed to survive all his troubles. The moment the American forces managed to liberate Buchenwald, Wiesel was able to identify the shock in the faces of these soldiers when they saw what was really going on in the camps. Wiesel had the thought that the world would pick some lessons from the Holocaust and cases of genocides and atrocities would be no more. Unfortunately, this was not the case; the second half of the 20th century was almost a replica of what took place in the first half as it was also filled with a lot of hatred and suffering. The dawn of the 21st century made Wiesel to ponder …show more content…
Ideally bread will remain to be bread the only difference comes in from the recipe which is almost the same but differs in only one or two steps. We can never have illogical, stupid or distorted bread, rather we can only have bread that we might prefer to others or in some cases certain situations might force us to only use only a specific kind of bread. The same can be applied to English. Zanottini believes there is no distorted English; it’s only that others are deemed more appropriate that others while others are required by convection. Therefore people should not look at Appalachian English, the African- American English or any other type of English as one that is stupid, illogical or a form of English that is distorted from what is viewed as proper English. Rather people should just understand that English language is a product of the same recipe only that they vary minimally. Instead of thinking negatively towards other varieties of English, Zanottini encourages people to see that they are lucky enough to have different varieties due to the fact that it can be quite boring to live in a world with only one kind of
