Because we are such a diverse country, with many different ethnic groups living together there is obviously going to be differences that each group brings. That's why I find it important for students to learn a language at a much younger age then they are now. I also agree that English should be known to a certain degree by all people. As the predominant language it is beneficial to all to understand this language that most use to communicate. At the same time by understanding more than one language allows us as a society to better understand people of a different ethnic group. It potentially could bring people closer not being able to use the fact that they do not understand others therefore there is no need to communicate. This movement is something that will definitely take a long time to come together and actually have an effect on society. I do feel that if we as a country can keep it as a goal it is something that certainly can be accomplished.
