Discussion 1

Do you think that English should be the official language of the United States? Draw from the course materials on culture, socialization, and deviance and social control, and take into account our core value of community. You need to justify your answer after weighing the pros and cons in a balanced manner and thinking about the positive and negative consequences that this decision would have for American society as a whole.
