Opinion on Why do Academics Continue to Insist on Proper English

Based off the articles most of the professors disagree with different parts of Dennis Baron article. People should still learn the difference between “good” and “bad” English. Command mistakes like knowing the tense of the paper or the difference between “it” and “it’s” are small issues that shouldn’t happen as much. Though people phrase things differently doesn’t mean that it is technically wrong because it still gets the point across. Knowing the difference between proper English and slang in some way affects a person getting a job. Talking slag all the time compared to proper English can be the reason why a person gets a job or not. Once they get the job speaking will not do anything to their paycheck.

My Opinion After Reading

Change will never end. Immigrants coming to America share their culture with us as we share with them. Change may not be wanted but happens any way. After reading I feel America is still stuck on race and ethnicity. Programs like Affirmative Action should but shouldn’t exist. We are all people and the only difference people seem to notice is the color of our skin. Though the program does extra work to help minorities it still shouldn’t be that important. Businesses hold off a number of slots to hire minorities to help the diversity of the company when really the position should be available for the person qualified to take it. There are situations where kids in the city of Chicago for example don’t have the same education available to them compared to kids in the suburbs. Though the educational system has a lot to do with the kid the environment they grow up in also shapes them. If they want more they need to find a way to get it. Even though the school program might not be great they need to graduate. Get a job to get by if needed, go to community if they can’t afford to go straight into a university and move on from there. Not all people have the same opportunities but some people can work their way out a situation. Some help might be needed but people shouldn’t rely on it to get them somewhere.
