White Expectations

White Expectations

If one person expresses himself or herself differently when writing an essay does that make the essay or them wrong?  After reading and discussing with the class SRTOL, I was opened to viewing both arguments sides. But I must say that regular “standard English” in schools is the right way to go. I respect the concept and the open ideas of allowing everyone to speak in their own discourse. Although that would not work due to the fact that professors are not indirect relation to those discourses.

The majority of people in America speak English that is why it’s so difficult to change the Standard English.  Many might like to argue that there is a majority of people that speak Spanglish in America. This is due to the fact that there is a large amount of Mexican/Latinos in America. Which leads me to say that in order to be successful in todays society one must learn how to speak and write as a white person would, because in a perfect world everyone would be able to speak in ones discourse and understand one another.  In reality you need to write correctly to communicate with one another.

In my opinion I feel that individuals that grew up only speaking English had an advantage over people like myself that had to learn English as a second language as well. If one thinks about it English dominants in todays society, that is why students need to learn perfect English, in order to be fairly equal among one another. 

Everyone must think about the big picture in order for everyone to communicate in today’s country and run successful business one must understand how to read and write proper English. Although in a perfect world everyone would be able to talk in their own discourse and be able to understand one another.
