Some people feel that the responsibility for saving these languages lies with the government, while others feel that public money should be spent elsewhere. this essay will consider both of these perspectives.
Saving a language is, without doubt, a worthwhile endeavour. It prevents cultures from dying out and preserves words and knowledge which are unique to diversity. It is expensive to save a language as teachers need to be found and trained and resources need to be created.
It makes sense that some government funding is invested in this endeavour as language is part of a countr's identity.
However, we need to bear in mind that saving a language, it is unlikely that rares languages will be used in everyday situations; the most widely  know language will be used. Therefore, it is probable  that the language will remain in classroom materials and books predominantely. If rare languages are preserved in books, academics and language specialists will have the opportunity  to study the languages in the future and unvocer any 'lost' knowledge.
In conclusion, on the one hand , saving a language preserves cultural uniqueness and knowledge but on the other, it is only possible to save it in and academic sense, rather than enable its everyday widespread use. As the saving of a language is limited, it makes sense to use a limited amount of government money to this end.]]> 2020-10-18 09:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cristianalopes/7koaxb55uzmqctte/wish/838601377 cristianalopes https://padlet.com/cristianalopes/7koaxb55uzmqctte/wish/838631807 2020-10-18 09:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cristianalopes/7koaxb55uzmqctte/wish/838631807 cristianalopes https://padlet.com/cristianalopes/7koaxb55uzmqctte/wish/895290095 We, students, say that school is boring and it’s not important in our
lives but we only say that because we are teenagers. Just imagine, going home after a rough school day, turning on the TV and, then, a reporter saying on a news channel “Women aren’t allowed to go to school anymore”. I would be in shock and I would be angry. I can’t imagine how Malala Yousafzai felt.
Of course education is important, in my point of view. I mean, without
it we can’t get a proper job or no job at all. We should appreciate the good opportunity we have, to get an education. Reading and learning are two things we do every day, while other children can’t even read or write.
In school we read and write, while there are other kids who can’t even
choose that lifestyle. Education can get us to so many places, learn a lot of things, help us “think” and get new experiences through our lives.
In conclusion, I can’t imagine how horrible and hard it is not to get the
education we deserve. During the pandemic, it was really hard for me to learn through ZOOM and it was very different. If online classes had a huge impact on me, imagine not getting an educattion at all.
