Author George Orwell, in his text, Politics and the English Language, describes how in reality, language is man-made: a tool that we can shape for ourselves. He states, “Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.” He then depicts how we can dispose unnecessary words that aren't needed anymore. “If one can get rid of these bad habits, one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards political regeneration.” Language is like a being of its own, always changing and adding new words and slang. In this day and age, we do not speak in Shakespearean verse, for language has changed and moved on from that century.

These are some of the questions that come up when I saw the Ted Talk “What makes a word ‘real’?” by Anne Curzan. Due to new generations, society have been using words or phrases that many elders would find it as degrading the English language. As new generations come, older generations would disapprove on how the English language is being used.

Growing up in an environment filled with a variety of cultures, there are words that mean different things and are used in different ways. In Hawaii, there is an official language, but there is also a slang language, “pidgin”, that was used during the era where sugar plantations were very popular. They created this language so that people of different ethnicities could communicate with one another as they traveled from other countries such as, Japan, China, Philippines, and Korea. Today, pidgin and the Native Hawaiian language are used amongst the locals allowing us to connect on another level by keeping our culture alive.

Unfair treatment, due to the way or type of style used while speaking can be seen in most everyday cases. The comparison between the book “Beyond Ebonics: Linguistic Pride and Racial Prejudice” by John Baugh and the continuously transpiring, real life event of
