Is the language acquisition process easier for kids?   Since I was a young child, I have been able to speak two languages, English and Gujarati, without any problems or effort. However, when I attempted to learn a third language, Spanish, as a teenager, I struggled in every step. This made me question the acquisition abilities of children versus adults as to who is better suited to learn a new language. From my personal experiences, I have come to the conclusion that kids are superior to adults when it comes to learning a new language and expressing it exceptionally, even though they have not gained the level of knowledge that of adults. The significance of the topic I have chosen to focus on is to gain an understanding of why children are well equipped to learning new languages and when you should be teaching your kids to speak, along with which languages to speak because multilingual’s have an increased level of creativity and enhanced learning ability. So, my question(s) are as follow: Why is learning to speak a language(s) at…

The evolution of language in cinema In modern film production, there are two broad classifications of a director; those who put their faith in the film and those who put their trust in reality. The development of a film has two distinct stages. The production of the image and projection of the montage. The combination of the two serves to increase the production quality and influence the direction a motion picture will adopt. This analysis will prove that the use of realism in the presentation of the film will not only add to the reality being presented, but it will improve the revelation of that reality. The use of realism will shape the world view of films among spectators. There are three main types of montages, namely parallel, accelerated, and attraction. In parallel, there are two factions within the same space, and alternations are done through the use of altering shots. In accelerate, illusions are generated by increasing speed and the use of multiple shots. In the montage of attraction, different images that are not from the same episode are…

The Celtic language, Irish Irish is a Celtic language that belongs to the Goidelic branch of insular Celtic. The language is often referred to as Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, Erse, but is commonly known as Irish (MustGoTravel, 2020). The Irish language was brought to Ireland and Britain by the iron age Celts, who occupied Central Europe 3,000 years ago (Irelandseye, 2018). Ireland was invaded throughout the early years of the language, and between the 17th and early 20th centuries, the Irish language started to decline (Omniglot, 2020). Emigration and the potato famine during the 19th and 20th centuries led to a further decline in the language, and English progressively replaced the language in many parts of Ireland (Omniglot, 2020). In 1922, the Republic of Ireland was established and adopted both Irish, and English as the two official languages of Ireland (Omniglot, 2020) The Celtic language, Irish, is a living language that is a commonly spoken language throughout the world. Irish is primarily spoken in Ireland and has speakers in the UK or northwestern part of Europe. There is also present-day Irish…

There are various classification of research whether its poetic, prose, fictional or nonfictional. Literature is further classified according to other styles for example in short stories, drama, and novels whose works are divided according to their adherence to specific esthetic characteristics, genre and their historical periods (Vernon pg 206).

“Bullying as True Drama” by Diana Boyd and Alice Marwick In an article by Diana Boyd and Alice Marwick titled “Bullying as True Drama,” the writers seek to address the challenge of bullying as it manifests in teenagers. I am moved most by their decision to use a real life example like that of Jamey Rodney, a 14-year-old boy who killed himself because classmates taunted him for being gay. Such cases spark nostalgic memories to times I have witnessed or experienced bullying and how adults responded to it. Danah& Boyd (2011) go to suggest that adults pay attention to youth language to help in bullying cases. I am impressed by how Danah& Boyd (2011) follow the statement with the research they conducted on teenagers across the united states to look into bullying cases. This research provides full backing when the article states that the regular refrain that “there’s no bullying at this school,” is just a protective mechanism for the teenagers. I also resonate with the way the article concludes that the term “drama” to refer to bullying is an…

Most of the research explores the benefits of conservation of cultural diversity.

Standardized Nursing Language Standardized nursing terminologies form the framework for a consistent communication method. Every nurse in a healthcare environment should understand the unique contributions standardized terminologies have on direct patient care, and research (Rutherford, 2008). A nurse says, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages, but we don’t fully understand why we do.” It’s essential for the nurse to know that the documentation process is very vital in a healthcare environment. Patient care documents, assessments of processes, outcome measures, and patient care documents must be documented using standardized nursing language. I would explain to the nurse the importance of keeping patients documents. Such documents are kept to aid in coordinated care. The nurse who will take over in taking care of the patient needs to understand the background information of the patient’s disease. Moreover, I would make the nurse understand that doctors and physicians require complete information about a patient before the commencement of care delivery (Thede & Schwiran, 2011). Such information must thus be documented in a language the physician, the doctor, and the nurse understands, and…

Ape Language             All primates have a unique way of communicating with each other, either by sound or gestures. However, human primates have an advanced mode of communication through both spoken language and sign language. Over recent years, there has been significant research into the ability of apes to utilize human sign language in communicating with each other and with humans. In this backdrop, Koko has a considerable capacity not only to learn, but also use human sign language. In particular, Koko’s capability to communicate with human beings through sign language demonstrates its capacity to learn and utilize human sign language. For instance, the act of Koko to point at a sign of wet in a book while looking at Penny demonstrates its ability to learn (Kokoflix, 2009). Koko seems to understand that by pointing at the wet sign, Penny will try to explain the meaning of the sign. Similarly, Koko’s selection of a birthday card during the celebration of its 42nd birthday demonstrates its ability to use human sign language (Kokoflix, 2013). It is worth noting that Koko chose…
