Politicians in today’s world are comparable to celebrities. Politicians are followed anywhere they go and, more often than not, have their secrets revealed. Many times these secrets are corrupt actions. Politicians have been known to extort tax money to fuel their own personal endeavors. Whether these endeavors are for financial gain or for one fun night, it is still unethical. Yet, the majority of the public forgets these corrupt acts after a scripted apology from the politician.

United States is known as a “melting pot” because there is such a diverse population in today’s world. The question whether or not the United states should have an official language has been around for decades. The English Only association says, “The U.S. Congress and individual states should adopt legislation making English the official language of the government so that government business must be conducted in English, with common-sense exceptions for services related to health and safety”…

candidates aligns with that sentiment. I feel there is a need to have an official language to maintain order within our growing melting-pot, but declaring English the official language of the United States could possibly create greater racial tension in our country.

Living in the United States you quickly realize that everyone speaks, writes and reads English. Other languages exist but clearly English is the main language in the United States by a good margin.

Inspired by the writings in the article titled “Vanishing Voices” by Russ Rymer, particularly the writings titled “Tuvan, I became aware that many endangered languages and cultures have neared extinction when faced with infrastructure growth and global progress. Much of the economic, technological, and political growth is greatly attributed to a globalized society. The article describes the Republic of Tuvan, in which a family is portrayed as living “ between the border of progress and…

Immigrants who do not speak English as their first language should be required to learn English. Not knowing English creates natural barriers in which information that is not properly interpret can potential cause death of a person. Asking our law enforcement personnel and medical personnel that are on the streets to learn every language that is spoken in this nation is unrealistic.

I noticed this two years ago when I moved here with my family. We can define and recognize people from other countries, but still we try to communicate in the best possible way and to learn the meaning of special words when we are talking to them. Inside the United States, we have lots of different communities, such as American, Black, Hispanic, and others. The interesting thing about this is that inside them we have lots of sub-communities which have their own dialects. For example, in American…
