Students Right
To be honest, I don’t think students should have the right
to use their own language in an academic setting. When students are given the ability to say
what they want in a formal setting it decreases the authority and sternness of
one’s tone. If students were able to write the same way they spoke in real
life, people would be able to write slang and swears in the middle of their
formal essays. What would happen when someone is sending they’re soon to be
manager or mentor a letter and at the beginning they say, “Yo, this Josh the
dude that wanna work on Wall Street. What up with that job tho?” That wouldn’t
work out at all actually. Another reason students shouldn’t be able to use
their own language in an academic setting because people may question their intellect.
When people’s intellect is looked as inferior by another it can prevent them
from accomplishing many thing in life. Specific things like getting jobs and
speaking to people of high authority will be complicated. For example, in the NWA song "Fuck tha Police," they group decide to make remarks about how they feel about the police and how much they hate the police because they feel that the police have the right to kill a minority. In the song Ice Cube explains how the cops are the problem and what NWA and the world should do to the cops. This however is not how this should be handles however. Not every cop simply kills a minority and not every cop deserves respect but overall the image of a cop does because he may not have the authority to kill a minority or any race in that matter, but he does have the ability to which makes it even more valid to show that cop respect. This prevents them
from ever getting looked at as a superior or valid candidate for a career that
could be potentially the best opportunity they ever had. Personally I feel that
formality in the writing aspect should always be used because it allows the
student to be able to speak and read respectfully. Therefore when a student can
do these things it allows them to expand many of their boundaries whether it
may be career or academic opportunities. My father always used to say; When a
cop stops you say how are you doing officer because you never know how someone
of authority will look at you.
