Abstract

How important is your language to you? Would you stick by your language even if it ment no one would take you seriously and would even look down on you for speaking it? Imagine growing up in a place where you can communicate with everyone with absolutly no problems. Then one day you move to a new place where everyone talks funny. You can't understand these new people all that well. Maybe these new people can understand you but consider you ignorant for not talking "proper." Some people live in that world. They are just as smart as you and me, but are looked down on for not talking the same as you and me. My paper Culture shock shows examples of people who have to deal with these problems of being different from everyone else. They still stick by their language and even fight for it. Some risk alot and stick by there culture. How many people do you know that would do that? Would you?
