The main causes of poverty in the world are lack of access to resources, lack of economic opportunities, and political instability. Many international organizations receive donations to provide aid to poor countries, helping with issues like famine, child mortality, and education. Individuals can also help by donating money or volunteering with charitable organizations to support long-term development programs.
English is the most important language in the world, spoken by over a billion people as either a first, second, or foreign language. It is used for 75% of the world's mail and 60% of phone calls. English is crucial for international business, technology, communication, politics and travel. The document encourages learning English now given its global prevalence and importance.
This document discusses the benefits of studying a world language. It notes that knowing another language can open opportunities, allow you to connect with other cultures, and improve career prospects. Studying a language enhances cognitive skills, improves standardized test scores, and is attractive to colleges and employers. While Spanish is a useful choice, other languages like French and German provide distinctive advantages and open professional doors. Overall, becoming multilingual enhances one's view of the world and makes one more competitive in the global marketplace.
The document discusses global poverty and its causes. It provides statistics on the number of people living in poverty, without access to clean water, electricity, or sanitation. Around 30,000 children die daily due to poverty-related causes. The poorest countries have a GDP per capita of under $1000, while the richest countries have GDP per capita over $25,000. Bill Gates' net worth could pay the US President's salary for over 100,000 years, and the wealth of the richest three individuals exceeds the GDP of the poorest 48 countries.
1) In the late 18th century, Sir William Jones suggested that languages from different geographical areas may have a common ancestor language. Linguistic investigation into language families has been ongoing for over two centuries since then.
2) The Proto-Indo-European language is reconstructed as the common ancestor of the Indo-European language family, which originally formed in Europe and spread into the Indian subcontinent.
3) Language change occurs through sound changes, borrowing words from other languages, broadening and narrowing of word meanings over time, and syntactic changes to word order and inflection. The historical development of English can be divided into Old, Middle, and Modern English periods marked by external influences and internal sound changes
English has become a global language required for university study and many careers. It is used in academia and is the predominant language for international business and tourism. English originated from Germanic and Celtic languages, with influences from Old French following the Norman conquest of Britain. It spread around the world through British colonization in places like the US, Canada, Australia, India, and others. Today, around 337 million people speak English natively and 350 million use it as a second language. It is the most used language in global commerce and air travel due to the influence and power of English-speaking countries like the UK and US throughout history. While English as a lingua franca enables communication and cultural exchange, it also threatens local languages
Poverty is defined as the inability to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. Over 1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty, subsisting on under $1.25 per day, with many more living on just $2 per day. South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa contain the highest percentages of the world's poor, at 43.5% and 24.3% respectively. The document provides statistics on global poverty and defines related terms.
