Social Organization And Language The Languages

It is evident that the family structures have dramatically transitioned over the past 100 years. The “Leave it to the Beaver” family is a thing of the past standards and a number of variations have been formed over the years. In the United States, there are six particular kinds of family configurations that are recognized by the modern society. Some of these family structures are naturally falling into several categories. For instance, a single parent family living in a large, extended family set up. Even though these types of families differ in definition, the lines are not very clear when it comes to practice.

There are three different types of sets of words which has same sounds and which look alike.They are

The colonial society has a particular correlation among families, these examples involve the family structure, married couples, and children. Looking at the families through a micro level point of view provides a system to these examples, where the internal workings of colonial period differed profoundly from those in our modern days. A vast majority of Early America was associated with agriculture like farming, because it was mainly a rural territory. On the New World conditions, family was the most

The first organized religion that came to the Philippines was Islam. This created one of the first great cultural chasms among the islands. When the Spanish landed on the shores, Roman Catholicism spread like wildfire. As “adopted” as it was, Catholicism was much more on the influential in the north, while the southern islands still mostly practiced Native religions or Islam. During this time, the languages used to promote these various religions varied from the indigenous languages, Spanish, Latin, Arabic, and hundreds more. This only served to drive wedges between the population. Topping off the list for fissures in communication, a universal language was never imposed on the Philippines. This meant that the majority of Filipinos never learned a word of spanish, even at the height of the empire. This arguably caused a collapse in tradition and cultural

Families and their specific roles with each other and society and community had evolved, rules for children and their place within the family structure were far more cohesive as they not only relied on each other for economic and social support, but on their communities as well. With new

The children in this family unit comply willingly with the rules, communicate well with one another, and show respect and cooperation in performing daily routines. There is a high degree of structure and orderliness in every aspect of this household. Education and hard work are highly valued and each family member strives to succeed in whatever endeavor they pursue whether it be sports or running for class President. Group identification is valued over individuality. Religion is not practiced. The family unit as a whole seems satisfied with their respective roles.

Have you ever experienced what it feels like to be bullied for your differences? I was in the 5th grade when I first encountered what it meant to be ridiculed for the way you speak. There was a time when my classmates made fun of another boy for the way he was speaking English. The boy was very quiet and only spoke to his cousin during class. The only language he was comfortable speaking was Chinese. My classmates at the time were taking turns recreating what they thought his language sounded like. Every so cruelly they mocked him in a way that was extremely racist; they were bullying him. I specifically remember one girl telling him, “Does your language sound like, ching chong, chong?”, she proceeded to laugh while she asked him. I never stuck up for him when I heard this, and I feel ashamed till this day that I didn’t speak up for him. Language shaming can come from anyone, and it takes many forms. In “Coming to Language” by Jimmy Santiago Baca, the passage gives us a personal experience, he has with language shaming from a teacher and how it affected his life and his journey of finding freedom through writing. In addition we see, another example of language shaming in “Living with Dyslexia” by Gareth Cook where he talks about his learning disorder and how it altered his relationship with teachers and his life. There is great similarity between Baca, Cooks and I’s encounter with teachers and language shaming. Since I’ve been in college, I have had three professors tell me

Most of the families, within a given community at a given point in time, exemplified the basic model of husband, wife, and children.

Do we really belong to language or do language belongs to us? There has been many debates lately regarding if we control language and do language control us. Language is an object we mankind has created can not see it but we hear it everyday. It can be put into many different ways and said countless amounts of ways. Language was created for a purpose of communication, we use it as a tool and have manipulated it so much over so many years that we now have different varieties of language. Some of these varieties is english, spanish, german etc. People may argue that we belong to the language which derived from the land but I personally do not agree. People may speak a certain language depending on where they live but that does not mean that language control us. The argument of us belonging to language may be because certain people talk a certain language

In many circles of the world, various groups of people distinguish themselves from one another through religion, language, culture, and sometimes gender. People also develop stereotypes about a particular group of people in order to identify them. However, most of the time, these stereotypes hold true for only some members of a group. Sometimes, these stereotypes are just plain misconceptions that do not even apply to the group it claims to. Stereotypes are placed on people because it is a way to easily identify what type of person or ethnicity an individual is. At one point in time, these stereotypes may have been true; however, in today’s modern society, most of these stereotypes are outdated and false, which leads them to turn into

With the many different cultures in the world comes many different languages. While languages are very interesting, they can make communication between two people of different backgrounds difficult. There have been multiple instances in my life where I could not effectively communicate due a language barrier.

Language is an important component in our lives that helps us humans to communicate with each other. Depending on how language is used, it can have the power to change how a person or group of people are feeling. Power of language does not only limit to changing people's emotions, but also affects people's actions. This is hypothetically due to the fact that language is one of the main sources for humans to gaining knowledge. According to Lera Boroditsky, an assistant professor of psychology, neuroscience, and symbolic systems at Stanford University, "Language is central to our experience of being human, and the languages we speak profoundly shape the way we think, the way we see the world, the way we live our lives (Lera Boroditsky)." Without language a lot of the knowledge that exists today will not have existed which is why it makes language so important.

Fashion has played many rolls in the terms of identity. Language has played the biggest role in fashion other than clothes being made or produced. Language is used like fashion to express aspects of the self-such as, a marker of subcultural identity, a marker for nationhood, social mobility, and attitudes.

Originally, linguistics was my intended major. Recently, I decided to switch my major to anthropology, and more specifically, the field of linguistic anthropology. For the linguistics major, one of my requirements for transferring to a university was to take a language and culture class. Several of the first lectures focused on the history of linguistics and anthropology. I was introduced to the idea that language, thought, and culture all influence each other. This meant that studying language, when divorced from the concept of culture, creates a myopic view of linguistics. It had never occurred to me that linguistic does not occur in a vacuum and needs to be examined alongside the culture it is associated with. Seeds of change were then sown in my mind. As the class progressed, I found myself growing more interested in the subject as a whole, and so anthropology became my major.
