ABSTRACT: man is gregarious by nature and tends to live in a group. He has to be neither independent nor dependent but should be interdependent. So his existence or survival depends on fashioning his personality to fit into the environment. No longer does a man lead an insular, isolated and alienated life in the present context of emerging global scenario. Like the terse and apt remark of Socrates, one has to say “I am a citizen of the world”. Indian English comprises several dialects or varieties of English spoken primarily in India, and by first generation members of the Indian Diaspora. This dialect evolved during and after British colonial rule of India. English is co-official language of India, with about 90 million speakers, but with …show more content…
World population has been using English extensively. Communication is basically conversational in nature, where information is exchanged continuously between two or more person on the form of dialogue. The focus on communication skills is significant in the context of present day requirement in undergraduate courses in general English in Indian universities. It is suggested that the teachers make the classes as interactive as possible to fill gap between the students actual and the expected proficiency in English. The skills thus acquired in the class room will help the students in their higher education, careers and professions. A real teacher should promote learning and should focus on this promotion through a series of carefully designed activities and tasks. English is used and learnt all over the world not out any imposition but through the realization that it has certain inherent advantages. English has entered the fabric of India’s intellect and …show more content…
Radhakrishnan became an effective liaison officer between the East and the West and dispelled the not on of Rudyard Kipling that “East is East, West is West, and never shall the twain meet” with his dazzling eloquence he could enchant and mesmerize the intellectuals of the west. Moreover the great personality of Vedanta philosopher Swamy Vivekananda, who dispelled English language firstly, after familiarizing with English he could give an eloquent lecture in Chicago conference and he could also give valuable massages to the youth of this country. Some of the language zealots during post independence era have vociferously demanded for the removal of English and vigorously championed the use of the regional language. In our aggressive spirit of jingoism, we have ignored the relevance and utility of English. Slowly, we are able to recognize the supreme value and role of English in the matter of career opportunities, with the advent of computers, communication skills in English have become indispensable student of science and Technology seeking jobs or pursuing higher education are compelled to get through IELTS, TOEFL and allied examinations. Western countries and gulf countries are offering lucrative pay packages and necessarily the students are obliged to learn English, the global language. Even countries like China and Japan have
The relationship of people and their world is interactive and complementary. The world reflects their behaviors while people learn from the world. People know about the world through different methods: by direct contact, by social media; also through other’s descriptions. How people consider the outside world and have the self-awareness depends on their living environments. For example,in busyness, the pace of people’s lives is intense because of a highly competitive of the society.
Experiences with people, places and/or things, shape and affect an individuals choices, either to strengthen or break connections and relationships. Through past and new memories and experiences, we are able to reflect, assess and explore our owns concept of connections. There are however, obstacles and barriers one must meet to fully understand our selves and the complicated world of connections and belongingness. The environment or culture we are exposed in since we were infants for instance, greatly affects our identity- behaviour, values and actions- as we get older. Imagine two people from different countries, one grew up in Cambodia and the other grew up in the US.
“Unlike a drop of water, which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society, in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of himself too” (B.R. Ambedkar). In a society that controls a person's life they don’t have the chance to find out who they are and what they’re capable of.
Such a society will encourage the growth and development of one’s self and the rules Equality lived through before discovering his own identity will not only serve as
The foundation and development of a human being stems from the individual’s position within his/her life (for instance, his/her opinion, stance, about oneself in regards to his/her own expectations) and within his/her communities as a member of a household, a race or even as a gender. The key factor of this notion, take in consideration the vast knowledge a person can evaluate against their own understanding. A person emerge into the world as a blank slate that unconsciously and continuously devouring and weaving in stories told in voices that evokes correlation identification with an image created by a mother, father, brothers, sister, aunt, uncle, cousins, grandma, grandpa, and even nicknamed strangers into their root and skin. An open-minded
Our personal identities are established by our connections with these physical environments, which reveal both who we are as individuals and how we interact with various aspects of the physical world. This has repercussions for our personal choices and how we view our moral responsibilities to the world. That brings the question "How do we relate to the world around us?” up for discussion. Many diverse philosophers, including
Every aspect of life impacts the human existence. The people within a man’s life, his traditions, his environment, specific events that occur within his life, and his experiences all play a significant role in shaping and molding a man into a distinct individual. These are just some of the components that attribute to a man’s thoughts, beliefs, inclinations, innermost desires, dreams and fears. Then there is an outward manifestation of these inner attributes in a man’s attitude, behaviors and actions. Some experiences and individuals are definitely influential, but then there are those that can alter a man’s life forever.
One must carefully observe the actions of those who “belong” in society to discern how to belong themselves. Following these “rules of conformity’ could include offering respect to the leader of the group or mimicking those in the group, either by their speech, personality, dress, or general behavior. Even one’s background, nationality, or religion can determine whether or not one truly belongs, but ultimately, group identity cannot be forced. Society and groups within it constantly change and are often exclusive, making belonging for newcomers difficult to obtain and can make those who feel they belong question if they truly do“fit
Lalvani states that “the spread of the English language allowed communication between people from different backgrounds who previously could not communicate” which was important for the unification of the country. Those different groups, however, were the British and Indians, not people in India. For example, they wanted to “form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern (Doc. 10).” Their intent of spreading English was not to help unify Indians, but to cause them to think, act, and believe what they do, helping them stay in power. To illustrate this point further, the British say they wanted their interpreters to be “Indians in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect (Doc. 10).”
In today’s world, it is very hard to often times stay true to yourself, It is important to stay true to who you are because everyone is unique and is special in their own way so by hiding it the world or people around you will never see it. In Walden’s “Self-Reliance” he say’s, “ Our life is like a German Confederacy, made up of petty states, with its boundary forever fluctuating…” When this is said it is meant to be taken as how controlled our lives can easily become. The petty states seem to represent maybe our family, friends, the society we live in or now social media. These will be the type of things that can hold us back from being who we truly are and want to become.
Introduction: Who Am I? Every person in the world has come to be where they are in a different way. Each possesses different traits and characteristics that influence how their lives will carry out. These different characteristics make up an individual’s social location.
To understand what it means to become human, it requires an emotional understanding of the world as well as others around you because without feelings, you will not have a compelling reason to change. First, in Ken Liu’s “Mono No Aware”, the main character Hiroto embarks on a personal journey, remembering what his childhood was like before the asteroid, Hammer, collided with the earth, to his job now on the voyager, Hopeful. When Hiroto was still on earth, his father told him “We are not defined by our individual loneliness, but by the web of relationships in which we’re enmeshed.” (Liu). His girlfriend, mother, and father shaped Hiroto throughout different parts of his own life and construct him into the man he is today.
Commonly people dream and produce ideals that distinguish them from another, but sadly, this generation compresses everyone to a certain standard. This world emphasizes on what a person may lack rather than applaud one for what has been achieved. The stress that society puts on being perfect could not be found in the simplicity of nature. Separated from the distracting details of life, does a person truly discover themselves as an individual. Nature is composed of substantial amounts of elements, but portrays itself to be truly simplistic.
Aural means related to sense of hearing and oral related to verbal communication. Surely when the student is getting better in both listening and speaking they will reach communicative competence. Communicative competence refers to the level of language learning that enables language users to convey their message to others and to understand others’ messages within specific context (Hymes, 1972). Of course to reach this competence, both listening and speaking improvement is really needed. The Aural-Oral approach is very effective to be implemented in English Language Teaching in case to build communicative competence of student.
This altering view towards a society and its members increased the importance of the individual. In this new era, being an individual can be best achieved through being unique and distinctive. Moreover,
