Essays on Accent

Trump had, first among Republican voters in the primaries and then among American voters in the general election. National polling had the Democratic nominee, leading Trump by a significant enough percentage for the media to assume that Clinton would end up winning the election. Despite winning the popular vote, though, she failed to carry several states that had voted Democrat for more than three decades, and those electoral votes gave the ...

Nobody has contemplated precisely on the complicated phenomenon why English has become so widespread and common all over the world. The ability to communicate in English fluently does not awake the feeling of surprise or pleasure on the foreigner’s faces. However, it is a rational and logical issue that English seems to be an international language or a lingua franca. From the historic point of view, one should mention Latin and its role all over the world. Many centuries ago, Latin was considered to be a lingua franca as well. However, after the Roman Empire lost its power ...

Language discrimination bill

The California Congress submitted the California Bill 111 and vetoed by the California Governor Edmund Brown in 2011.

Revenge is often cruel, lustful and insatiable to the extent that a provoked mentally ill person would do anything to ensure they make others pay for physical or verbal abuse. Such acts of violence and revenge pose major problems in the ...

In the present global workforce, clear and concise speech is an important element of success. Language and communication barriers hinder individuals from achieving both their professional and personal goals.

The Britons society and culture did not give a striking impression as to my expectations. The presence of a monarchical system of governance does not mean that the country in itself is the place where everybody wants to visit. They have done too much and are in the limelight for undertaking considerable efforts in the global challenges, but does that mean that they do not have an intriguing past? My views change from the first impression I had of it to the current opinion, I have which is as a result of the movies, books and scholarly materials I ...
