There are over 7, 000 different languages across the globe and each has a unique sound, vocabulary, and structure. Most importantly, these languages shape the way we think, and Lera Boroditsky shares some examples of how these languages affects individuals interpretation on of time and space, also language has an early effect on time, and can even shape how things have personal weight to us and how we think about anything named by a noun. For instance, the Aboriginal community in Australia uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian that suggest the answer is a resounding yes (Boroditsky). Essentially, the beauty of linguistics is that it shows people how flexible and ingenious the human brain is .however we are losing so much linguistic diversity.

In How to Get Your Green Card in America, Sarah Thankam Mathews (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. describes her life as an illegal immigrant and how she got an American green card. Primarily, before arriving in North America, she had stayed in Oman for 14 years. But the author describes that nothing ever came easily since life before and after immigration was different, for example, the old experience, bad, good rattled her like broken gadgetry. Also, the things her family and had left never got back (Mathews). This was only because her parents wanted their daughter to get a quality education, to be respectable, and to be able to walk by herself fearlessly.

Negin Farad, on the other hand, uses social commentary and comedy to undercut the stereotypes in her culture cleverly. Primarily, in this talk she speaks on her documentary, The Muslims Are Coming which basically narrates her battle with the MTA in New York and offers a comprehensive breakdown of the various types of haters she came across in her line of duty, they include the trolleys, the drive-by haters, the mission-oriented, and the swing haters. Therefore, according to her talk, comedy is the best weapon for fighting the haters since approaches such as war have failed (Farsad).

Multiculturalism: The Other side of Globalization
There are many cultures around the world. Some of them are well known, and other ones
are almost unknown. The differences are huge. This multiplicity of cultures generates several
phenomena that are particular to the globalized world, and specifically in the big countries,
where migrations are a significant percentage of their demographical changes, and social media,

sometimes the particularities of different cultures are ruling the intercourse. Cultures are made of
people, and people are different even within their own cultures. They can have different roles,
different points of view, and a different way to react. Some of them will embrace changes while
others will fear anything different from them. Migration creates cultural collisions every day,
