Susan Madera/One Voice
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page reaction paper to an essay by Susan Madera, "One Voice," on learning standard English. Madera records how the language of her upbringing and youth, her "neighborhood" language, differs from standard English and how this placed her outside of mainstream society. There has been a great deal written concerning racial prejudice and the issue of using standard English. Madera's insightful essay shows that there is considerable prejudice towards users of non-standard language, regardless of race and that the use of standard English acts as a gatekeeper to mainstream society.

Symbolic Representation & Reality
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines symbolic representation in communication. Human perception understands reality and the world in terms of symbolic forms of representation. Real things in the world are filtered through cognitive processes that comprehend the world in terms of language, both spoken and oral, which means that everything human beings comprehend is understood through one or more levels of abstraction. Even other forms of symbolic representation, that is, statistics, map and photographs are described and discussed in terms of language. These symbolic forms of representation are not neutral, but are cultural embedded and reflect the entirety of societal mores and perspectives. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
