BEING A TCK: A CURSE OR A BLESSING?

2018-04-19 23:41:47 UTC

Ximena Coloma

In my opinion I think belonging to TCK is neither good nor bad, I take an intermediate position, since being part of TCK is a great opportunity because you know and learn new things new cultures, traditions, share ideas, etc.

The points against Tck are: identity, because identity? because when you are traveling to a certain part you change your culture, you have to adapt to the new place where you are, in some cases it is very complicated because they are totally different things that are not easy to learn, and conflicts occur within one's personality and that may affect others

Regarding the difficult that it can be to learn a new culture is the challenge that comes to a person where that is something very good is a challenge for you and once you achieve it feels great.

In conclusion I think that TCK are neither good nor bad, I think they are both, it is good to learn from others as well as to be clear about what your home is.

From my ponit of view I don't consider that TCK's could be define like a corse because exist more advantages than disadvantages about that topic. So I think that one of them, is travel around the world and when come back from abroad those kids have a better understanding of the world, they achieve a global view and perspectives from different point of views because they live with different people who have different cultures, customs and traditions. They can exchange their knowledge with others. For that reason I have a testimony that support my opinion, she is Philippa Mathew spent 14 years travelling and her children enjoyed a privileged upbringing, also gave them a better understanding of the world. In the same way their education sets them up to be more flexible and better able to cope with change. But the most important is that those kids can be the change with the society that exist right now because they identify and compare social issues and international issues, in that way they can resolve it. Finally I strongly believe they are new generation who can change the world being open-minded (Jhoselyn Roselló)

Nincol. 1. I strongly believe that being part of the Third Culture Kids is not a curse, because, kids and their parents aren´t guilty of that situation. It´s necessary to have financial support and it´s part of their parents’ jobs. Well, if we talk about advantages and disadvantages of being part of the TCK´s, considering that they are kids, which are willing to different cultures, could generate identity problems, since they can´t be identified with only one culture, their identity is formed by a great variety of traditions customs and habits, which they acquire in the course of their trips, which modify the normal development of emotions and behaviors in kids. Also, this is closely related to adaptation, since not all places have the same customs and traditions. However, not everything is bad, being part of the TCK´s gives a wider vision of the world, because, children belonging to the TCK´s have special skills to compare global and local problems, in this way, they have a better understanding of the world, on the other hand, in the future these children can become diplomats, people who allow to establish links between different countries.

2018-04-20 01:35:55 UTC

In my opinion being a Third Culture Kid is blessing. I know that it have advantges and disadvantages, but I think that have more advantages that disadvantages. For example, some of them that are always on the move from one country to another, gets to many experience as a guest in many places, and learn about each culture during his stay. In that way, TCKs have become more open-minded to the cultures of the world because his personal experience.

sonalipaola_gutierrez — 2018-04-21 03:02:27 UTC

PAOLA GUTIERREZ: First at all, if we want to say that being a third culture kid is a curse or a blessing we should know what is being a third culture kid. So, third culture kids (TCKs) is a term used to refer to chilren raised in a culture other than their parents’, some of them because of their parents work abroad to live , or in some cases their lives are exposed to airstrikes like people in Sirya. In that way, they are not a phenomen given that according of a 2011 online survive by Denizen, found most of the 200 participants made their first move before the age of nine and had to lived in an average of 4 countries, so actually there are many TCKs who have to relocate everytime. Even though, they have some adaptation problems because of their mobile lifestyle and can not define their identity such as the case of Sahaj Kohli an Indian girl who lived in USA and had long discussions with her parents over that fact she can not find her identity, but at the end she could define herself as an American and Indian person. In that sense, cases like this show us that being a TCK have some disadvantages that at the end can be solve, what is important is that there are more advantages that allow me to consider it is a blessing. Some of benefits of being a TCKs are, they can enrich their knowledge through their personal experience with each culture such as they can speak many languages and communicate with people around the world. Likewise, they can be flexible to many places and learn about mannerisms and beliefs of people from each culture. More importantly, they are open-minded given that they hold different views of point thus they are more aware of global issues turning them into citizens of the world. Finally, being a TCK is a blessing because it permits to children and teenagers became in a responsible world citizen concerned about global issues.

matthias_tec_2001 — 2018-04-21 19:51:28 UTC

I consider that be third culture kids can be a blessing because they can learn other languages and enhance their emotional intelligence. This is a benefit to their future because these abilities are important to the employers and it can sure a workplace. However, the kids that traveled to other countries can have problems to decide about their future because they have an experience that makes the meaning of bad and good actions difficult to understand.

Sheryl Sánchez

To my mind, being a Third Culture Kid is not a course, but a blessing. It is true that it has some disadvantages, as lack of a specific identity, but it brings more advantages as well.

First, a TCK belong to a different subculture coined by themselves. This gives them the opportunity to create a space where they feel comfortable in. Also, it makes them unique in society since they have lots of diverse values, norms, behaviours, beliefs, mannerisms and thoughts.

Furthermore, they have a deeper comprehension about global issues. This is because TCKs are nomads: they have lived in different countries and, for that reason, they have been influenced by several cultures. So, TCKs don’t have only one points of view: they have a multiplicity of opinions about a topic.

Finally, a TCK’s home is all around the world. Because home is where your heart is. Then, they have established lasting bonds with everything they knew during their traveling way. So, they got a home in every place they have lived in.

22nayelyinga — 2018-04-21 21:56:52 UTC

In my opinion being a TCK is not a curse or a blessing, because it has its advantages and disadvantages in the emotional field of children, because, being children of people who work constantly traveling turn them into children of multiple cultures, therefore, the advantages that are diverse, since, develop aspects of global vision developing different points of view with regard to cultures, causing children to become more flexible to face changes in their lifestyle. However, also being TCK carries disadvantages with respect to lack of roots that one obtains from a stable community or country, since the social instability is characteristic of a child of TCK, when they move as they grow through the painful process of moving away from Friendships accomplished to try to make new friends, so they do not maintain a healthy social life. According to Benjamin Self, a person belonging to TCK, says that cultural instability is a consequence of belonging to this lifestyle, because, when traveling is likely to know cultures and that adapts by leaving aside everyday customs to acquire others, Causing problems with respect to identity, because, because it is not stable it makes people isolated. Finally, Benjamin emphasizes, that maintains a constant restlessness, to establish a deep relation, summarizing in a single sentence "When more connected or interconnected we are, but we only feel", ie, "I would stay and I would love you, but I have to go, this E s my station, " This quotation shows that the connectivity with the world is weak, since to participate and to dedicate to local networks socializing for a long time is not characteristic of a person belonging to TCK.

Finally argument that being a TCK will depend on the emotional support it acquires in the process of permanent travel, so that it is considered that, in certain people the adaptation is favorable facilitating their future interactive life in relation to society, because, Having a global mindset will achieve assertive communication acquiring or modifying cultures or custom that allow it to be part of that environment. On the other hand, it is possible that people in the process of changing cultures do not identify themselves, resulting in emotional instability. No position is bad or good, it will all depend on the people involved.

2018-04-22 15:27:02 UTC

Geraldine Allison Alvarez Aguado In my point of view, it’s a blessing be part of third culture kids because an upbringing with a wealth of international experiences can have many advantages. Proficiency in multiple languages, intercultural sensitivity, expanded worldviews, open-mindedness and cultural empathy are among the frequently reported ones. TCKs enter adulthood armed with skills to handle change and to communicate across cultures. They are usually highly educated, with one survey showing that TCKs are four times more likely to have bachelor’s degrees compared to non-TCKs.

Also, they had early maturity because they had to affront different changes at a young age like separate from their friends that they made on each country, deal with stereotypes, etc. in that way are able to accept the reality of people and things as they are.

2018-04-23 00:58:28 UTC

Alondra Flores. In my mind , people in this environment have difficulties in knowing who they are, in recognizing their own identity, and it is obvious to know how lonely they can sometimes feel, however this occurs in a period of time since everything what starts has an end, then this supposed pain or suffering occurs in trying to adapt to that environment, to that change, to the fact of moving to the places where they have sent you to discover your identity, but in the end a moment in which this suffering bears fruit, excel in whatever you do and helps you face new challenges to those that may seem difficult to many to face, these people are made simple and therefore are those that thanks to They already know how to act in front of society.

nayeli14mateo — 2018-04-23 01:04:12 UTC

NAYELY VISUÑA MATEO: From my point of view Third Culture Kids can be blessing, because, they can have a better understanding of global issues, since tend to develop stronger communication, cultures and social skills as a result of the fact that they regulary need to adapt their speech and conversation with people from different backgrounds. And also another benefict of TCK is that they are more open minded. As a result of the fact that third culture kids are raised with children from different culture, religious and political backgrounds, they are more likely to develop a winder perspective and more open approach to life than their peers who are brought up in their home country.

TOPIC: TATOOS
To what extent do you think people use tattoos as a cultural tradition?

sonalipaola_gutierrez — 2018-05-12 02:09:11 UTC

PAOLA GUTIERREZ: From my point of view, most of people use tattoos as a cultural tradition. First, tattoos are a form of self-expression given that it is an artistic way to show people’ identity and beliefs. Besides, tattoos permit people to represent the heritage of their own culture like customs. Furthermore, people use tattoos as a tradition in some cultures which permit people to show their social status or religious beliefs. So, people use tattoos as a way to demonstrate their cultural tradition.

2018-05-12 02:18:17 UTC

In my opinion people use tattoos as a cultural tradition and as a means to communicate their identity. All tattoos that people have a meaning, whether in a common culture, such as Native Americans; or as in a culture of their own to express what they truly are, for example a tattoo of a delta can mean change in a personal way. So, the tattoos are an expression of cultural tradition.

Sheryl Sánchez

I consider people are still using tattoos as a cultural tradition, although in a different way from the past. For example, Native American warrior-men had tattoos in order to show their proficiency in a specific weapon. Besides, Maori women tattooed their faces since they wanted to prevent wrinkles. On the other hand, currently bikers use tattoos to identify themselves as members of that group, and some famous people try to express their feelings through tattooing. However, both are considered a cultural tradition.

mgrr2001 — 2018-05-12 14:54:54 UTC

MARIA GRAZIA RODRIGUEZ REVILLA

I consider that it will depend what is your thought about this affirmation. Each person is free to decide what are their positions between different themes, therefore they are free to decide to have a tattoo or not, not necessarily for their culture. in synthesis depend of each person this decision.

matthias_tec_2001 — 2018-05-12 19:15:31 UTC

I consider that most people use tattoos to show their identity. If you ask the reasons, some people will say that a tattoo is a cultural tradition for them, but most will say that it represents their personality. It may be that someone uses a tattoo to express their culture; however, it depends mainly on the tastes of the person.

jhoselyn_rg19 — 2018-05-14 02:44:24 UTC

As far as I'm concerned people have tattoos given that they want to express their identity and interests. Besides if I have a tattoo some day is because I want to show my personality through it and I strongly believe that is part to my cultural tradition. On the other hand, I have to admit that the meaning of tattoos today is fully different from the past, althought doesn't meant that it has less importance. So people who have tattoos in some way demonstrate their cultural tradition. (Jhoselyn Roselló)

Do you think the kind of toys you played when you were a kid will affect your education and career choices in the future?

clim_janette_nina — 2018-05-19 16:13:25 UTC

2018-05-20 00:00:14 UTC

PAOLA GUTIERREZ: From my point of view, the kind of toys I played when I was a kid will not affect my career choice and education. First, I have planned my professional life independently of the kind toys I played, I am conscious of my skills and weaknesses. Besides, I am an open minded person who really dislikes those stereotypes about what women or men should study or not. Although, I used to play with dolls and soft toys when I was a kid, it has not stopped me to continue developing different skills. Finally, the kind of toys I played will not influence on my professional future given that I am an open minded person who is able to make a conscious decision of my career without being influenced by stereotypes.

2018-05-20 01:50:16 UTC

From my point of view, playing with a type of toy will not necessarily completely define your career of choise or your education. When you are a child, adults have a stereotype of buying dolls for girls and cars for children, but not necessarily during all the costume of their life they will think the same, because each one will develop their preferences in time, according to the environment in which it is. therefore during childhood, the preference for a toy in the infallible age will not define its future, if not during its development

mgrr2001 — 2018-05-20 01:52:16 UTC

2018-05-20 02:58:36 UTC

keith Inga From my point of view, having played with some toys in my childhood does not necessarily influence in my education and career choice that I will choose in the future. When I was a child I used to play with toys that were influenced by my context "dolls, barbies, etc. '' were common to be played. However, with the stage of maturation and development of my person, my choices and preferences changed, since they stopped being influential in my life, Therefore, to acquire a mature and open mindset through my educational training, the choice of career I will choose in the future will be regardless of the toy that I played in the past. Finally, I consider that this stereotype of that "playing with certain toys symbolized the career choice that you choose” It does not affect my future life, since, the stage of growth that I purchased, it will allow me to be aware of the decisions and choices that take is not influenced by childhood I had, Since, at this stage we are only guided by the environment that we have.

jhoselyn_rg19 — 2018-05-20 19:58:00 UTC

Sincerely, when I was a kid I played with different toys such as cars, puzzles but I never played with dolls because I don't like it and that didn't affect my education and career choices given that right now I study in a school that I choosed, it was my decision and it didn't was determined for my toys. Furthermore, I have goals that I construct during time, that are independly to my toys because I know my strengths and weaknesses so my education and career choices it depends of that. To conclude, I strongly believe that each experience is part to develop of themselves which constructs and lead our life's style like our decisions.

2018-05-23 22:53:30 UTC

2018-05-23 23:13:23 UTC

In my opinion, the kind of toys you played when you were a kid don't affect your education or your career choice in the future. First of all, saying that cars, guns and science kits are only for boys is wrong and harmful, It creates fallacious gender roles. We must to broke it; all children should be able to play with what they want, and not be run by society; because, it is not the toys that affect our future decisions, norms and gender stereotypes. In that way, the kind of toys you played when you were a kid don't affect your future. ---- Sanders Chancan Chanca ----

sonalipaola_gutierrez — 2018-05-23 23:20:53 UTC

PAOLA GUTIERREZ (TRUE VERSION) : From my point of view, the kind of toys I played when I was a kid will not affect my career choice and education.

Besides, I am an open minded person who really dislikes those stereotypes about what women or men should study or not.

What do you think Human Rights are? Why should we respect them?

2018-06-18 16:52:47 UTC

SHERYL SÁNCHEZ. For me, Human Rights are the group of laws which help society to be a peaceful place to live. We should respect them because are the foundation of society and in this way we are treated equally and as we deserve to be treated.

miguel_colegiomayor — 2018-06-18 16:53:32 UTC

Humans Rights are a way to protect people and give them the same roles, a way to treat everyone as equals.

sonalipaola_gutierrez — 2018-06-18 16:53:38 UTC

SONALI PAOLA GUTIERREZ QUISPE: From my point of view, human rights are people's conditions which permit them to realize themselves, and consequently reach their full potencial . Also, we should respect them because everyone deserves being respected by others independently of their social status, education degree and so on.

2018-06-18 16:53:51 UTC

I think Human Rights are laws that allow the coexistence of human beings. We should respect them because it is permint the coexistence of societies. --Sanders

Geraldine_Alvarez1223 — 2018-06-18 16:54:54 UTC

It's a very important topic because it's something that it's happening nowadays and it seems that no one is doing something to change it. Firstable, they must be respected because we are equal and its unfair that not everyone is receiving the same treatment. Women's is the one minority group that is more vulnerable talking about rights.

nayeli14mateo — 2018-06-18 16:54:56 UTC

i think that human rights are rights that have each person

nami_18mili — 2018-06-18 16:55:10 UTC

In my opinion, human rights are inherent rights of all human beings, regardless of our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language or any other state. These rights are interrelated, interdependent and indivisible, for which I believe that our rights must be respected equally

2018-06-18 16:55:16 UTC

I think that human rights are the permission or the right that have all people no matter the culture, roots or race, this should have respect to promove the polite, and equal manner

22nayelyinga — 2018-06-18 16:55:17 UTC

In my opinion,

Human rights are the rights and freedoms of all people in the world, from the moment they are born to death. It does not matter where you are from, what you believe in or how you choose to live your life because these basic rights are based on shared values such as dignity, equality and respect. Also, we should respect these human right because it is the humanized way of taking care of our bodies and their biological needs and because those rights and responsibilities are like the way to carry out the projects of our lives, in a free, peaceful, solidary and happy way, by developing as adults in our jobs and hobbies, in family and cultural life. Nayely Inga

2018-06-18 16:55:58 UTC

In my point of view human rights are the essential part of the man, because this permit to people to do something that some people don't have the possibility to acquire. We should to respect the human rights because this permit us to are free

matthias_tec_2001 — 2018-06-18 16:56:01 UTC

Matthias Huaraca: Human rights can be ideas that protect the integrity of each person. We should respect them because it permit a good cohabitation in a society.

In my opinion, I consider that Human Rights are a something that people have and this, help to ta people to live in the society. Nowadays, the people don´t respect them, but I consider that they are should them because is very important to life and the goverment to promove the polite and equal manner.

RodrigoVL — 2018-06-18 16:56:02 UTC

I think that Human Rights is the way in that people respect the equality between childen, women and men. For this reason it is necessary and important come through with the Human Rights for live in a pacify world.

I think many people know about the human rights but don´t respect because it consider not relevant in this society. by the many situations that exist, the people less the impotance. i consider that we should aplicated the rights and evalue cases in where don´t aplicate this rights.

andycanosanchez — 2018-06-18 16:56:17 UTC

In my opinion, Human Righs is are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behaviour and are regularly protected as natural and legal rights in municipal and international law

2018-06-18 16:56:19 UTC

First of all I consider that human rigths are basic conditions that belong to every person, this basic rights are based on freedom, equality, respect and independence. So they need to be respec.

Before answering these questions, it is important you do some research and quote your findings:

1. Is language limited by culture OR is culture limited by language?
2. What is the difference between "idiom" and "language"?
3. How does language shape the way we think?
4. What are the difficulties Spanish speakers encounter when they learn English?

ximecoloma22 — 2018-07-10 23:39:37 UTC

1. In my opinion I think the language limited bye culture because it mostly depends of the context of each culture . Each culture has its own language for this reason people have to adapt and think like this culture .
2. Idiom is a group of words tahat definitions are different (rhetorical devices) and language are a means of communication the way to express our ideas and opinios to the society .
3. I think the language can changue our shape of think , because is depeds of the context or the culture where you stay , for example when you learn English you think in English , you bulind your ideas in english , is the same with other languages .
4. The typical mistakes are :
.The grammar structure
.Some people tranlate spanish words to english words , but the means is different in both cases .
.Some people don't use the correct intonation when speak pharses

summy7351 — 2018-07-11 01:12:54 UTC

1) In my opinion, the language limited by culture because; when you belong to a culture it has its own language you get used to it, but when it comes time to interact with another culture you can not do it, since when interacting with other cultures they realize that it has another type of language and can not communicate with this culture. 2) Idiom is a group of words (it can be rethorical devices), and language is the way of express your opinion (it can be corporal language or other types of that). 3) In my personal opinion, yes it can change our opinion, because it always have to depends of the context for examples when you are in a country that speak english you think on inglish because you are learning this way of language. 4) The typical mistake are: the gramar, also mostly of the people first organizate the ideas and then translate this for english, and this are wrong because the order of trhe words in spanish or in english doesn't are the same

miguel_colegiomayor — 2018-07-11 01:16:41 UTC

1. While it is true that each culture has its own language, which allows the development of culture as well as its evolution since, in fact, people are responsible for language, that is, they are the ones that decide whether a language remains or is excluded of society, because man is born in a society with a pattern established on the system of life, therefore, it is society that demilizes language.

2. We refer to language to any type of system that allows communication or expression through any form with other people, because through language we express ourselves while we speak of idiom when we refer to a language alteration whose concept is different from the real meaning of the words since it is only structured for a group of people and in some cases cultures.

3. From my point of view the language forms our way of thinking, because people tend to have an understanding on any subject through the mother tongue while if we were in any other country, we would change our perception on the same issues since we we find ourselves in front of another
type of thoughts that occurs because of language. 4. Well, many people have different problems when they learn English, for me, the grammatical structure is the main factor in which most people have problems, since a phrase in Spanish tends to be written upside down in English. A clear example of this is the questions, on the other hand people they have complications in the meaning of each word, because a word in Spanish can have other meanings in English. Finally, I think that people tend to get confused with the pronunciation of each word since some of them have a sound similar to Spanish but with peculiar characteristics.

2018-07-11 01:20:43 UTC

1.The language is limited by culture, due to that culture is who imposes the meaning of the words , so the language need to adapted to this context to coexist in a society 2. I think "idiom" is is the way that you communicate with people of your environment, for example in Perú our idiom is the spanish. But "language" is more big, because this is the way that you express your thinks, knowledge, culture, etc of your culture 3.The language like the way to express something of your culture have the capacity to change or shape your thinking, for example in a cultural shock bouth cultures have differents thinks of some definition or object so this causes that some persons need to adapted to this bouth culture so have the necesity to learn about that kind of language to coexist in a society 4. In my opinion the main problem is the grammar because is some difficult know or recognize that specific letter that create a words and in some cases the memory is fragile, so you can forget some words Alondra <3

sherylfiorella_16 — 2018-07-11 02:11:13 UTC

SHERYL SÁNCHEZ

1. For me, the two cases are possible. First, language is limited by culture because is our culture which gives us the specific aspects about language, the way we use it and how we use it. For example, as Spanish speakers we notice more grammatical gender words than English speakers do, and this kind of aspect determine the way we express our ideas and thoughts. But, I think also that culture is limited by language, since there are characteristic languages from different cultures that are disappearing nowadays, which doesn’t allow the preservation of these ones. For example, one of these languages is quechua, which isn’t being spoken too much.

2. According to Cambridge Dictionary, “idiom” is referred to the literary device that includes a group of words in a fixed order that have a particular meaning that is different from the meanings of each word on its own. Differently, “language” means a system of communication consisting of sounds, words, and grammar, or the system of communication used by people in a particular country or type of work. So, I consider that the idioms are part of the language of a specific culture.

3. I believe language shapes the way we think since the culture where we were born has a language which it’s rules are different from other ones. In this way, we create our ideas about what the world is and how it works. For example, for us as Spanish speakers there are some things that are labeled with feminine grammatical gender and other with masculine, while in English are just neutral. As the case of “the moon”, this is neutral for them, but for us is “la Luna”.

4. Our main difficulties is trying to find the correct word that means exactly what you want to say. There are some words that sound similar in both languages, but have different meaning. For example, “actually” sounds like “actualmente” but it really means “truly”. And when you choose the wrong word, there could be misunderstandings. Also the pronunciation is difficult because it determines what you’re trying to say. As an example, we commonly confuse the pronunciation of “since” with the one of “scientist”. These factors can complicate the communication between English and Spanish speakers and making us unable to express our ideas coherently.

NSTRUCTIONS BEFORE POSTING: Research about ONE language in danger of extinction and answer the following questions. STRONG AND BRIEF COMMENTS are going to be considered as extra points for the Roundtable. Not anynymous postings will be considered.
1. what does it mean for languages to “die”?

2. what is the reason for this language to be in danger of extinction?

3. What is the consequence of a language becoming extinct?

4. What do you think can be done to save languages?

carloschancanlazo — 2018-07-11 22:10:00 UTC

Sorry Miss Nina these answers are from the previous question:

1.- I think the language limeted by culture, because it permit to know about the reality.
2.- Idiom according to Oxford Dictionary is a group of words that definitions are different from the literally meaning. And, Languange are ways of communication and express your ideas into a society?
3.- I believe that language can change our way of thinking to the extent that this can lead us to better understand reality.
4.- In my personal experience I think that false friends are the most dificulty from Spanish speakers enounter when they learn English. Examples: advertise, assist and bizarre. You can found more examples in: https://www.britanico.edu.pe/blog/false-friends-en-ingles-ejemplos/.

1. It is when a language disappears and its speakers are extinguished, or when they cease to be used in a certain group 2. The reason why a language disappears is when its speakers are extinguished, or when we stop using it to express it in something else, it is often more widespread and is spoken by a preponderant group 3. Many times people with different languages are discriminated because they believe they can not fit into our society, that is why the natives of other cultures leave their mother tongue aside because of the fear of being discriminated against. 4. In my opinion, you must create positive linguistic attitudes in the societies towards these languages, promote projects of documentation of these languages and, above all, teach them in the schools. In this way the young people have more motivation when it comes to learning a new language

mgrr2001 — 2018-07-12 19:19:04 UTC

Sorry Miss these answers are are from the previous question:
1-I believe that culture limits language because each environment has its own definition that you can not allow the development of other
2-I think idiom are those slang words or phrases so to speak that is characteristic of each place and the language is the form in which they communicate, that is, according to grammar, for example.
3-I think that when you know different languages is like knowing different cultures and in this way you can change our way of thinking by the variety of knowledge that we acquire
4-I think that the greatest difficulty that can arise in the agramatica or in the form of decri prayers

mgrr2001 — 2018-07-12 19:33:48 UTC

Elfdalian (the language of the Vikings) 1-the language runs the risk of extinction because it wasn´t recognized by the Swedish authorities. This is exacerbated by the fact that the population speaks in its place in a small geographical area, the few users who use the Swedish language because they are more widely used. 2-In the cultural universe the extinction of a language not only implies the death of words, but the content they gave form: centuries of history, legends, ideas, songs transmitted from generation to generation. 3-I think it is relevant to save or preserve the language. First because, it is important to keep a history that precedes it. Second, because in some way she constitutes herself as a cultural legacy, which interprets or exposes a way of seeing the world through her beliefs, wisdom, her worldview.

sonalipaola_gutierrez — 2018-07-13 02:46:11 UTC

SONALI PAOLA GUTIERREZ QUISPE: 1)It means that languages are going to become extinct in the future and consequently they are going to disappear. 2) Elfdalian is in serious danger of extinction because there are not many speakers who used that language. According to statistics, there are only 60 people under 18 who use Elfdalian. Besides, the government only treat Efdalian as a dialect and doesn’t recognize its importance as a language. 3) The main consequence of Elfdalian becoming extinct is that cultural heritage of the Viking culture will disappear, because there are important things which can only manifest in that language for example songs, oral traditions and myths.

4) I consider what government can do to save languages is given them the recognition that they deserve. For example, it can impart education respecting the native languages of the students, so they can receive education in their native tongue and at the same time continue using it, which will lead to the preservation of those languages in extinction.

carloschancanlazo — 2018-07-14 12:44:43 UTC

1.- For dying languages it means it has lost up to the last native speaker of this.
2.- Because through Quechua-speaking parents deliberately not passing the language on to their children, speaking to them in Spanish instead, and even punishing them for speaking Quechua.
3.- If a language is extinguished it will greatly affect the understanding of the groups that speak that language
4.- Political persecution, a lack of preservation, and globalization are to blame for the dwindling language diversity.

summy7351 — 2018-07-14 13:06:18 UTC

1. I am not sure but I think that when a language that is in danger of extinction manages to disappear completely, or there is no longer any speaker of that language

2. From my point of view I consider that the main reason is because there are few speakers in that language, besides that they are not putting it into practice in schools

3. In my opinion one of the main consequences is that, apart from losing the language, a small part of our culture is lost.

4. One of the main or most important measures that can be taken is to implement these languages in the education of our country and make everyone learn about how important these languages are to our culture.

nincol20160227 — 2018-07-14 13:11:47 UTC

1.Death does not mean the end of existence but the passage to another stage of life where the deceased will always be part of the present, that is why Quechua speakers pay homage to the dead.
2.Due to globalization, and because most education systems are offered in Spanish in Peru, for this reason most children are almost forced to stop speaking this language, leaving few Quechua speakers.
3.I strongly believe that if the Quechua language is extinguished, it would produce many negative effects, such as: the loss of cultural heritage and the deformation of the Peruvian identity.

4.I believe that the way to save languages that are in extinction is to establish systems or organizations that allow people who speak this language to have opportunities for work and education.

22nayelyinga — 2018-07-14 23:10:31 UTC

Nayely Keith Inga Montes

1. languages to "die", action that will develop in the future that will cause them to die out, they are going to disappear.

2. Quechua is a serious danger of extinction because the technology is implementing translators who do not consider the Quechua language. According to UNESCO, Quechua language would disappear due to "technology, digital death of languages".

3. The main consequence of quechua becoming extinct is internet has its favorite languages, in which, Quechua is not considered causing damage to the communication of the natives with the outside, for their oral traditions and myths causing its extension.

4. I believe that we need to know the Quechua language, to promote the creation of Quechua translators. Koari's phrase is a reflection on the situation that people belonging to Quechua go through. "If a language is not in the web, it does not exist. But a language does not exist at all until its last speaker dies." Also, implementing an education that allows them to learn the use of technology is a good strategy to avoid extinction.

nayeli14mateo — 2018-07-14 23:21:24 UTC

1. I think that it means, when a language loses its last native speaker, and also this happens when the language is not already known, even by a second language speakers, for example, Icelandic, is a idiom that is slowly dying due to digital technology and social media. 2. The principal reazon for the Icelandic language is disappearing, is because people stop talking, and also is because that language, over time has been replaced by another language. According to the U.N., most languages are spoken by very few people. About 97 % of the world's population speaks just 4% of its languages, while 3 percent speaks 96 percent of them.
3. The consequence of a language becoming extinct, is that people will lose their unique, cultural knowledge unrecoverable historical and ecological.
4. I consider the best solution to save languages is fostering linguistic diversity at all levels of education whenever possible, and favoring the learning of several languages from early childhood

jhoselyn_rg19 — 2018-07-15 22:06:26 UTC

Miss Nina these answers are from the prior questions 1. I consider that is language limited by culture because if you born with a specific culture incunconsciously you are accepting that culture, their traditions, customs, and language. In fact, you are accepting the way they communicate to others. In that sense, the way you express your ideas are going to be connect to your culture. 2. First of all, idiom is a rethorical device, a sentence or phrase that you can't take it literally, it most figurative. And language, is the way people use to speak, write, express ideas to others. 3. The language shape the way we think because when you belong a culture, you are accepting their way to express ideas, music, customs and traditions, moreove the way they behave. So I'm spanish speaker and I strongly believe that say adjective after a noun is correct but for a english speaker is wrong because they strongly believe that say adjective before a noun is right. That's why people have different ways to think because they belong to different cultures. 4. One of the common difficulties to learn english is the grammar structure because in "spanish" you have to put an adjective after a noun but in "english" you must put an adjective before a noun. That's the problem. Second, some people don't use the correct intonation and pronunciation in some phrases. Third, some speakers think in spanish, then translate it, and finally they say it; that way to learn english is going to confuse the right way to learn it.

jhoselyn_rg19 — 2018-07-15 22:15:37 UTC

Now, the last block of questions (Elfdalian language of vinkings) 1. It means to the language is in danger of extinction and maybe then it going to disappear. 2. Elfdalian language is in danger of extinction because there are less people who speak it. Besides, in their community that is located in a remote part of Sweden is recently locals have taken to using more modern Swedish instead. Even, statistics shows that fewer than 2,500 people speak Elfdalian, and less than 60 children under the age of 15 are fluent in it. 3. I consider that if a language becoming extinct, culture too. So if a culture disappear completely, the heritage of people that belong to that culture is disappear too. That affects the way how they feel to their culture and then maybe they are going to scron their own culture. 4. If we want to save a language, the first step is education. If we teach to kids the importance to preserve a language, a culture we are changing the way to act and think of people.

sherylfiorella_16 — 2018-07-15 22:15:39 UTC

1. A language dies when it loses its last native speaker, which causes its extinction.

2. Generally, quechua language is disappearing nowadays because the majority of its speakers is ashamed of it. According to El Comercio in its 2007 census, just the 13.2% of people declared quechua as their mother tongue. So, it shows that quechua is endangered because of they aren’t proud of it.

3. The consequences are many. For the UNESCO’S General Headmaster Koichiro Matsuura it implies the extinction of the diverse forms of cultural immaterial patrimony. This is strongly connected with our roots, which means that our cultures and the different ways of express the past of it are endangered too.

4. I consider it could star at schools. Each school should teach the native language of the place where it is located. In this way, we can preserve all of the diverse languages that our country has at the same time.

ximecoloma22 — 2018-07-15 23:17:18 UTC

1. It is when the native languages of people disappear, which generates the extinction of languages

2. It is one of the languages in danger of extinction. Only 2,500 people from Sweden speak this language. Also it wasn´t recognized by the Swedish authorities.

3. The consequence of Efdalian or another language extinct is when this language disappear people lose their identity because their language is the way that they are different to another person , is their symbol.

4. I think that we want to preserve languages, the government should encourage children to learn a little of each language in their schools or know that there are different languages, also the native languages should be recognized by the state.

pauloz1702 — 2018-07-16 12:18:52 UTC

The Quechua:
1.-According to David Harrison, the smaller the number of speakers, the more difficult it is to obtain an exact count ", with which you can say that the death of a language occurs when people let it speak.

2.- According to the La Red 21´s New, say that the quechua disappears because of the shame of the indigenous people to use it. Also, the Quechua speaker is ashamed and believes that it is better to speak Spanish, becuase Spanish is the language of the cults and who does not speak it well is marginalized and excluded. The summary that best seems to define what is happening more every day is that "Quechua has gone back from the street to the house and now, from the house to the kitchen"(idiom).

3.-I think the main consequence of quechua being extinguished is that first, we would lose part of our cultural heritage, because language is considered part of our culture. In addition, we would lose the opportunity to know the native cultures of Peru, because the words in Quecha that have no meaning in another language, which would hinder the learning of each of these native cultures.

4.- Nowadays, linguists are struggling to document and archive the diversity of languages that are rapidly disappearing. Their efforts include making dictionaries, recording histories and traditions, and translating oral histories. I believe that governments should support this initiative of linguists, promoting the practice of oral language in school and having young people and children learn this language.

clim_janette_nina — 2018-08-21 14:31:32 UTC

Do you agree or disagree with the following proverb...?

2018-08-21 21:39:50 UTC

SONALI PAOLA GUTIERREZ QUISPE: I agree with the proverb. I strongly believe that beauty is something subjective because it depends on each person, everyone creates his/her own conception about what is beauty. For example, people can't judge the beauty of the avant-garde's work of arts because for some people they can be very beautiful and meaningful but for others they can be incoherent and senseless. For that reason we can't judge it and say that something is beautiful or not because beauty depends on each person.

mgrr2001 — 2018-08-21 21:41:58 UTC

From my point of view, beauty is a subjective perception that any person can give and this is defined by the culture they have, their own thoughts, influences of their environment, etc. but mainly from their own perception, however, we often qualify beauty from certain criteria that may appear in society, but many times would fall into ruled stereotypes that can be considered beauty and it don´t consider each perception.

Geraldine_Alvarez1223 — 2018-08-21 21:43:17 UTC

I agree with the statement because we can't be so negative with ourselves, sometimes our worst enemy is ourselves because we're so focused on our appearance and is because every single day we see on the media people with perfect body,but the truth is that we don't need it because beauty is not only our physical appearance is more than that is our soul, the value that we hold. We have to say ourselves every single day who perfect imperfect we are and that's okay.We don't have to changue anything.

nincol20160227 — 2018-08-21 21:43:28 UTC

I agree with this statement, because I strongly believe that each person sees things differently, that's why when we talk about beauty, there is not a single conception to defend this term, each person can have a different view of what is beautiful. , that is why, that something is beautiful will depend a lot on the person who is judging.In addition, this influences the culture and thoughts that each person has.

Jackelyne — 2018-08-21 21:44:08 UTC

Each one of we have different perspectives, opinion, comments about thing in specific
we are that put the significate and the that symbolize, is the knowledge the that this capacity
however this is full of subjectivities. In other words isn´t objective, and not clear.

summy7351 — 2018-08-21 21:44:15 UTC

From my point of view, Is bad to judge a person for their physical appearance, but in this case I totally agree with the proverb because not all the people have the same idea of beauty this will always have a discrepancy in their opinion about a topic in particular in this case "BEAUTY" , so in this way the way of see the things can affect in the opinion from the people about the beatuty of other people is for that reason that the beauty will be always depended from the different beholder.

22nayelyinga — 2018-08-21 21:44:20 UTC

NAYELY KEITH INGA MONTES : I disagree with this phrase, since seeing beauty is in the eye of the beholder would have many negative consequences, for women it would cause them to worry about their perfect body, while in man having strong muscles, are consequences of this phrase . I consider that this type of look would cause stereotypes due to the perfection of the body, causing young people to have a disorder in their diet to reach a beautiful body. Finally, the beauty in the actulidad is seen from the physical aspect causing damage in men and women.

miguel_colegiomayor — 2018-08-21 21:44:21 UTC

I agree with the phrase, since beauty is subjective, that is, each person has a different conception about it. As the personal experience of each individual allows you to qualify something as beautiful, that is, people have different perspectives on something, this makes them create a personal image about what is beautiful and what is not. For example, nowadays many people say that their partner is beautiful but for other people the perspective can be different, that is, it can not always be fulfilled that the beauty for one person is the same for another person.

nami_18mili — 2018-08-21 21:44:44 UTC

I agree with this statement, since in our society there are different perspectives of people on an important topic. However, their opinions, when not correctly assessed, generate disagreement among people, and from this moment, the problems in society begin, be they cases of bullying or discrimination.

Jackelyne — 2018-08-21 21:45:09 UTC

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'

I agreed with this phrase, because each one of we have different perspectives, opinions, comments about thing in specific

we are that put the significate and the that symbolize, is the knowledge the that this capacity

however we vision is full of subjectivities. In other words isn´t objective, and not clear.

carloschancanlazo — 2018-08-21 21:45:49 UTC

Personally I agree with this proverb because the meaning of beauty really is in the beholder's perspective. We have, for example, the symbols of beauty status over time, while in China it is considered beautiful for women to use bandages on their feet, in some parts of Asia beautiful women were considered to have long hair. On the other hand, nowadays due to the progress of the sciences, I consider that beauty is now mostly related to proportion or symmetry. For these reasons I conclude that the meaning of beauty really is in the beholder's perspective and this will be based on the personal knowledge of this which in turn is influenced by their culture.

xiomaraatunca — 2018-08-21 21:46:26 UTC

Xiomara Atunca ....First of all, I think that what we consider are beauty, well if we read investigation say beauty is in the eye of the beholder are true, because this show that beauty is relation with our experiences, we can consider and judge that someone is beauty from person that are part of our life, person who apreciated or we can consider that someone is beautiful maybe because it makes us remember a person in specific and feelings. However an apart of that, I consider that talk about beauty and mencion that we born in the eyes in incorrect, because real beauty born in our self, inside, becuse this factor build the person that we reflect outside.

sherylfiorella_16 — 2018-08-21 21:46:28 UTC

From my eyes, I agree with the proverb presented, because all around the word the concept of beauty is different for everyone. We have several ideas about what beauty means. I consider that it depends on the image that our own culture builds about beauty, and we take it as an irrefutable idea. For example, American people think that a woman is beautiful if she is tall, blond and skinny. In contrast, Latin-American people’s concept if a beautiful woman is referred to the one who has a “wasp waist” and big body measures. So, the way beauty is seen by others depends on the ideals they have about it.

ximecoloma22 — 2018-08-21 21:47:22 UTC

I agree with the caption because a person is beautiful because of their feelings, the way they behave with others, not because of their physical appearance. Many times we think that "beaty" people are good or the best, but in many cases is false or criticize people as "ugly" because they don´t look good before society, since society has an wrong image of the person which makes it clear how it looks but not how it is . It also depends a lot on the self-esteem of the person because if you accept yourself as you are it doesn´t matter what others say or think about you. Is the as another person sees you according to your behavior.
The beauty is made isn´t born

ivet3083 — 2018-08-21 21:47:25 UTC

I disagree with this proverb, because it means that beauty is something different for each individual, where one person can find beautiful to something, but another does not. When the eyes are not only a way, where you can appreciate an object or person, exist different ways, for example the hands, that is the case of a blind person. As English Philosopher Davis Hume say “Beauty in things exists in the mind that contemplates then”.

Alondra Flores 5D

pauloz1702 — 2018-08-21 21:48:07 UTC

I disagree with the proverb because it implies that the beauty of people is given from how they look physically and not in their way of being. At the same time, this statement can generate controversy, especially in young people, since, according to psychological studies, they are the people who suffer the most as it can bring many consequences such as suffering illness from eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia or manorexia. In turn, I consider that these types of phrases are used as a marketing strategy for companies that are responsible for making cosmetics or beauty contests, to get people's attention, but do not realize the damage they can cause as those mentioned above. I believe that the phrase generates prejudices based on the fact that people are "beautiful" depending on how they look and not on how they really are based on their personality and the characteristics they possess. Finally, to say that physical beauty personally does not compare to the "interior", related to how a person is.

astridirectioner4 — 2018-08-21 21:48:09 UTC

About the phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" I have a neutral position, because For a side this phrase means each person have a different perspective about what is beauty that is to say
For some, one thing can be beautiful, but for others it can not, In summary beauty is subjective. On the other side acording to an estudy of Harvar University to say "eye of the beholder" refers to some people consider beauty to things or people that are family to them. Is for this reason I think To a certain extent it is true but beauty has a misconception different to each one.

matthias_tec_2001 — 2018-08-21 21:48:14 UTC

The beauty is a cuestion of perspectives. All people have a similar undertandaing about the beauty of famous pieces of art. However, when we say and opinion about a specific thing around us, each people use their judgement to appreciate it. Matthias Huaraca

nayeli14mateo — 2018-08-21 21:48:25 UTC

first of all, the phrase mention "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", this means that, the perception of beauty is subjective, my position based on it, is that I disagree whit this, because it is only used to express the fact that not everyone has the same opinions about what is attractive, it can say that in more times, people look at the exterior, but not the interior

2018-08-21 23:32:02 UTC

-Jhoselyn Roselló- I agree with this proverb, because it means to the subjective beauty that someone finds in something, it can be an object or a person. In that sense, for some people it can be beauty but for other people it can't be that. For example, if you show to your friends a prized painting, they might disagree with your taste saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” For hat reason, we can't judge the truth beauty of a thing or a person because it depends of the beholder's perception.
