Great Essays

If American citizens are going to allow money to be spent translating government documents into multiple languages, then what about the languages of all tax payers? Who decides which languages spoken are the better, or more important, to use? This is a substantial dilemma that, unless an official language is implemented, would be very difficult to …show more content…

    Krauthammer appeals to ethos multiple times throughout his essay on English becoming the official language of the U.S. One way he establishes credibility is when he talks of when he grew up in Québec, Canada. He speaks of a time when bilingualism started an issue that led to terrorism, unrest, and threats of separation of the country. Readers believe him to be credible when he speaks of why the United States should not be a bilingual country because he grew up in one that dealt with turmoil over it for years. He also establishes a sense of ethos when he speaks of the languages his father and himself speak. Krauthammer speaks three and his father speaks nine, worst language being English, and that his dad soon realized it would be difficult for him to live in the United States without improving his English skills.…

    While there is no official language in the United States, English is used throughout the country. This leads nearly every American down a path that requires them to learn and speak at least some English. However, the roots of America lie in immigrants coming to the country for a chance at a new start. Therefore, multiple languages, whether dominant or minor, should be viewed as an example of what makes America what it is. These languages should not be purged in favor of English, but preserved in order for future generations to garner an understanding of the various cultures and ideologies that go along with different languages.…

    The article “English Only” Laws divide and Demean by Warren J. Blumenfeld states the author’s view against enacting a law making English the official language of the federal government. Mr. Blumenfeld’s premise in "English Only" is that the law is unnecessary and divisive in the United States. He is seeking a call to action in his home state of Iowa against the “English-only” law because he believes that it will negatively impact the beliefs that our nation is founded upon, rather than celebrate and promote our uniqueness as a nation of people from different cultures seeking the freedom to be individuals. He is an opponent of this law since he believes it has the potential to create prejudice and discrimination toward our citizens because they speak a different language.…

    If English were to become the official language, this particular order would be considered a starting point for the government to assess all avenues that would need to be taken into consideration for the implementation of English only literature and speech recognition. According to the Migration Information Source, “In 2011, there were 25.3 million Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals residing in the United States, or roughly 9 percent of the nation's population ages 5 and older. Although most LEP individuals were foreign born, nearly one-fifth of this population was native born, about three-quarters of whom were children ages 5 to 17.” (Batalova, 2013) Foreign-born individuals will face a major cultural impact if the official changing the language to English happens.…
