The English language has been around for a number of years, but now it is taking the world by storm. In Dennis Baron 's article titled "Who Owns Global English," he discusses how English has taken root in different countries to the dismay of their Governments. English has taken a new meaning in some countries that native speakers would call improper English. " Yes, we want" (Baron, 35) is the new battle cry of Madrid 's campaign on English. This may be bad English, but Baron is considering the possibility of it becoming a new form of English.

In order to understand the world that we live in, it is imperative to first conceive the operating forces that shape how our society, economy and politics work, and what the impacts in our lives and environment are. In this sense, it is necessary to approach the following topics: political ideology, globalization and our natural environment. Political ideology is basically a political code of conduct, gathering up similar ideals and beliefs about how society and government should work. Political ideology does not refer only to politicians, but to anyone who is inserted in a society. Given the plurality of opinions and beliefs among people, it is not a surprise to realize the variety of political ideologies all over the world.
