QST : Examine the Social relevance of legal research ? What type of research do you advocate to bring about law reforms ? ANS : Law‚ as mentioned earlier‚ does not operate in a vacuum. It operates in a complex ‘social setting’. It reflects social attitudes and behavior.

Prominence of Language I believe that of all possible human qualities‚ the one that wields the most power is the ability to use‚ understand and communicate effectively through language.

After reading “Aria” and “Black English” and watching the Pidgin film‚ I have come to understand that language is also your identity. I conclude that your identity‚ both private and public‚ will affect your use of language. Language
