    While looking at Craig’s List personal ads, I think men and women differ greatly when looking for relationships and characteristics in a partner. Women differ from men in many ways, the biggest way they differ while looking for a relationship is the kind of relationship it is. Women seem to want a more long term, committed relationship while men are more times than not looking for a “friend” or just someone to hang out with, with no strings attached. Also, no matter what a woman’s age is, women generally look for someone in their age group and do not go much outside that. Men on the other hand are more open to anything and age is only a number to them. I have seen many men post that as long as the woman is over 18, it does not matter to them…

He kept the french culture so that they would not have the need for separation. when the Constitution Act passed in 1982, Canada gained complete control over their constitution, and therefore it made Canada independent from the British government. “The act ended the need for British approval of amendments to Canada’s constitution”.

    There is a chapter in Do you speak American by Robert MacNeil and William Cran that stands out to me and that chapter is “The Language Wars”. Doubleday Publishing published “The Language Wars” in Westminster, MD. Within this specific chapter of Do you speak American the main point that MacNeil and Cran make that stands out to me is that impact that technology is having on all languages. Language is how a person is first judged before anything else because in every situation a person’s language matters. Sheidlower’s statement “Language is what it is.” in my opinion could not be put into better words, the statement is clear that language has and will continue to change but it is what it is; there should not be the war between prescriptivists…

    It is human nature to try and categorize the surrounding world. Science created a classification system in order to visualize the similarities between animals and plant life. The problem with this system occurs when one does not fit into a specific place. Even amongst themselves, humans have tried to assort themselves based on outward appearances, but many people fail to comprehend how diverse the human race truly is. Throughout history, variances in skin color, hair type and facial structures have been used to distinguish between types of people; among these, is the labels placed on each ethnicity. The ‘Hispanic’ group is one of the largest populated ethnicities with multiple countries that fitting into it. However, each nation, is completely…

    The culture we are raised in has a great impact in the way speak, the way we act, the way we view other people and who we are comfortable with. This makes us have a bias towards different cultures. This has been a problem in society for a long time, Richard Rodriguez, in his article “Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood” demonstrates how in his childhood, about fifty-years ago, kids viewed him in a strange way because of his ethnicity (group of people that have a certain racial, cultural, religion or other traits in common.) and language. “Walking down the sidewalk, under the canopy of tall trees, I’d warily notice the (suddenly) silent neighborhood kids who stood warily watching me nervously, I’d arrive at the grocery store to hear their…

    A unique part of my family heritage and culture is the ability of speaking Spanish. Being bilingual is something that I really appreciate to have because it gives me certain advantages when it comes to applying for jobs or helping others. For example, I was doing community service and there was a woman who need assistance, but she couldn't speak English well. Fortunately, I was able to help her and I felt proud for that. Nonetheless, approximately the same situations apply in school from time to time. In conclusion, I feel pleased for this ability to speak the Spanish language.…

    Revolutionary leaders knew that encouraging the growth of the multilingual population in the United States was vital to maintaining distance from Great Britain. The Founding Fathers sought to respect the minority groups that helped free the nation from the British crown, therefore avoiding instituting an official national language from the Constitution. In fact, around this time many documents were printed in German and French to stimulate political participation among multilingual citizens. But when the political arena of the 1980s fostered bilingual legislation (for example, introducing bilingual schooling and bilingual voting forms), this respect for foreign languages nearly vanished as many citizens took up arms against American-English being challenged.…

    For my third blog entry, I had the opportunity to interview Ms. Maria, a third-grade bilingual teacher with a little over ten years of experience, and the mother of my classmate. Ms. Maria just like her students has English as her second language but began her journey at the age of seventeen. This experience allows her to be more compassionate and understanding with her students’ situations as she went through the same thing but at a later age. I personally have never been enrolled in a bilingual class so this interview was insightful to see how different my experience was compared to her students. Ortega status that “Attitudes towards the formal learning context have been shown to exert a lasting and important influence on motivation. (Ortega, 2013, page 190)” so I thought it was quite interesting that when asked what learning approach was more beneficial Ms. Maria believed that both instruction and natural learning approaches are needed to acquire a language.…
