The United States of America, small in history but large in diversity, continues to face new linguistic challenges as time passes. In the documentary “Do You Speak American?” Robert MacNeil analyzes the English language and reveals many dialects that define us culturally. The regional dialect is one of the many bastions of all cultures and has now reached its peak and today it is slowly declining because it does not possess the human nature of progress. Optimistically, this allows people to learn to cooperate with each other. To move forward and adopt, a person must change; I believe that acceptance of cultural adaptations, diversity and industrialization can prove that the decline of speech does not lead to a decline of culture. The way we speak continues to be generated and reinterpreted as the days go by; this decline is unstoppable. The decline of dialects is something we must accept. Language transmits our intellect, our emotions and allows us to use speech as a means of communicating on a common level. A shared form of communication allows people to make connections and that's when we decide to adopt ideas, reject them or improve them to improve our way of life. The cinematic method of bringing out multiple perspectives is effective and reaches all audiences. Using a map, MacNeil reveals that North Americans are drifting apart linguistically and that the effects of this determine how we distinguish cultural sensitivity and divisions from others. Today, survival and prosperity largely depend on people working together to overcome common obstacles such as same-sex marriage and education budget cuts. Dialectal decline is becoming more and more apparent, as in the documentary Le Maine ...... middle of paper ...... learning another culture, another language, to help oneself grow. We may lose our accents and regional dialects, but allowing ourselves to accept the dominant dialect may be the only way to share ideas, remedy society's many problems, and benefit from its progress. The decline in the manner of speaking can die out without sacrificing culture and the ability to progress, and realizing this guarantees success.Works CitedPBS: Friedenberg, Joan. “Do you speak American?” Public broadcasting service. 2005.DYSA? : Do you speak American?
