Dont Make English Offical Ban It Instead

heather Schmitt slope 1010 Mrs. Zeleznik 2 December 2012 Dont Make English formalized Ban It Instead The article Dont Make English Official Ban It Instead by Dennis Baron focuses on the stem of intercourse considering to make English the ordained speech communication of the United States. Baron uses the academician approach in portraying English as a tradition, a functional system of codes that enables people to interact with each other in the society. Using this as his primary thesis, Baron argues that English should not be implemented as the countrys national language, since its hardly even English anymore. They intelligibly state in the article that even though English isnt the official language non-English- talking immigrants are still picking up. Many people in America want English to be the official language that everyone should speak. I do not completely agree with this. It would be too voiceless for everyone to follow this request. Also, many people learn two dif ferent languages, which in the end increases their knowledge. Dennis Barons idea is that exilening English would have the opposite of effect, that people that speak English would still continue to speak English and those who do not yet speak it will be more tempted to try it out.If we were to ban the English language then people would be more aegir to learn it because people want what they cannot have. I personally find the idea of this humorous in a way. Its relating it to a bigger theme or main idea that it is almost merciful nature to try or do the things we are not suppose to do. Not that Congress would ever ban the English language or really any language in general, I think this piece is really aiming towards the idea of human nature rather than actually wanting to ban the English language.
