Introducing an ally who resisted the majority caused conformity levels to drop sharply (5%). The presence of an ally makes an individual feel more confident and better able to stand up to the majority. Asch also discovered that people are better able to resist pressure to conform if the decision has a moral dimension. For Asch’s participants, the costs of conforming were not particularly great given the insignificance of the task. However if the behaviour is judged as immoral such as joining others in cheating there is less evidence of conformity as the costs are perceived as greater.
If students of different races and ethnic backgrounds adopted the Standard English language, then it would be easier for them to speak and communicate with each other. Language has been changed in many different ways that it has become somewhat of a challenge for some students to comprehend. Today we have a set standard of how language should be taught, written and even spoken. It is a known fact that the English language is a long and complicated language that various ethnic groups change the wording form Standard English to some sort of “dialect with a form and structure of its own” (Seymour 339). Although patterns of non-standard dialect seem to become a problem in the way we are told is “correct” English.
It is considered a dialect of English and not a separate language. I have found in my research of Ebonics that there are many types of English. This is why Ebonics is thought to be slang when it is really a dialect. It works much like English language but with little differences. The biggest difference is that of the sound th, in Ebonics the th sound is d. So words like “those” are pronounced “dose”.
1 Language Paper Sundra D. Daniels Psy 360 June 13, 2011 Yelena Gidenko 2 Language Paper When an individual understand language they believe on the meaning of diverse language like: French, Spanish, and English. It is not exactly known as to how frequent the concrete meaning of language is thought of. In the specific aspect of language, it has a complicated terminology and interpretation. Language has often been said that it is the defining quality of human understanding (Roitblat, 2007). Language is an important party all human beings life and can be examined by definition of a small group of words known as lexicons.
The key points are to clearly post, refer to, and review learning objectives and language objectives. Multiple levels of English proficiency are set by standards that the students are monitored by model performance indicators. A student’s native language affects his or her language and academic outcomes by being surrounded by other students who are also ELL with the same English acquisition. Students may utilize their home language more in conversations when speaking to classmates who are from the same home language group (Willoughby, 2009). In speaking to other ELL students whose home language is different, ELL students, use English but due to the students’ limitations in their English proficiency, they expose each other to more broken English I will value the instructional power of a word wall by frequently utilizing, maintaining, and updating it.All too often, secondary educators miss important opportunities to build the literacy skills of all students.
He said that strong group feelings, increased self arousal and a sense of anonymity leads to reduced self awareness leading to Deindividuation. And finally, Prentice-Dunn and Rogers said that being in a large group makes people aggressive for two reasons, both linked to a loss of self identity. The two reasons are: Reduced public self awareness, the individual feels like they cant be identified. This allows the individual to act more aggressively as they feel they wont be caught. And Reduced private self awareness: the psychological arousal caused by the crowd and the strong feelings of group membership prevent the individuals from considering their own morals, ideas and making rational decisions.
A covert prestige dialect, on the other hand, is one that is generally perceived by the dominant culture group as being inferior but which compels its speakers to use it to show membership in an exclusive community. In this way, covert prestige can be likened to 'street cred': If you talk street, you may not be accepted by the power majority, but you earn respect among those who reject the values of that power majority. Prestige can be separated into ‘overt prestige’ and ‘covert prestige’. Both are used when changing speech to gain prestige – appearing to have a high reputation/standing/success etc- but do so in different ways. If someone uses ‘overt prestige’ they put on an accent that is generally widely recognized as being used but the ‘culturally dominant group’.
There is a clear division line separating the north and south which displays the difference in development level of nations. The north is predominantly more developed than the south, with massively wealthy nations like the America; consequently there is less poverty in the north and people generally have a higher standard of living. In comparison, the south is dominated by poor countries which have low levels of development. Most of the people in the south have a lower standard of living due to high poverty rates; however there are some exceptions to this trend like Australia. Evidently there is an unequal relationship between the north and south, which could be mainly due to the fact many of the southern countries were owned by the north in the past.
I believe Richard Rodriguez is correct about being separate from crowds of citizens, but with family members, to achieve distinctiveness. In Richard Rodriguez’s essay “Aria”, I agree with Richard Rodriguez about his opposition to bilingual education. The reason why I agree with Richard Rodriguez is that knowing two different languages makes a person more versatile in the public. A person does need to know public language to be more accepted among the masses but losing your closeness with your heritage hurts more. I believe one day that when people hear beyond a person’s voice then we as the public will also become very
Cultural explanations is when lifestyle choices are made regarding diet, smoking, exercise have an impact and make people less healthy than others in the higher social groups.
