Something about African American people that are bilingual or speak a different language has always astonished me. Having English as my first and only language always seemed highly boring.

It's normal over here to start learning different languages at an early age. In elementary school you get the basics, which are Dutch and English. And in the first two or three years of High school (it depends on your level) you get the basics, and in addition to that you get: German, French, and sometimes Spanish or Latin.

One major pattern repeats itself throughout history. The search for power transcends time period, culture, and language. Sometimes the way in which power is sought changes, because power comes in many forms. Knowledge is power, but so is money, influence, and superior technology. Sometimes, people seek to destroy the power of others by eradicating or stealing knowledge, money, or superior technology.
