Language Across the Curriculum - Summary
Language is an essential means of communication among members of any society. It plays a fundamental role in expressing culture and conveying traditions and values that relate to group identity. This lesson aims to highlight how a common language is one of the most important features of a community, and the continuous use of that language is clear evidence of the historical continuity of a group of people.
Language is a key component of civilization. It has uplifted humans from a primitive state to a higher level of understanding. Without language, humans would not have evolved into the beings we are today. Thus, language stands as one of the strongest symbols of social behavior.
