One Language, Many Voices: Examples of Cultural Diversity in the Spanish Language

Although a language fulfills the essential function of communicating and improving understanding between parties, that is not its  only role. Language is a cultural expression that reflects  a way of feeling, thinking, living, and conceiving the world.

Because of this complexity, it is challenging to universalize concepts  on the use of language.

Why did the Supreme Court Exempt Military Academies?

The Supreme Court’s decision barring the use of race in college admissions triggered a nationwide decline in minority enrollments. However, a footnote exempts military academies, citing “potentially distinct interests” crucial for national security. The Department of Defense has argued that diversity is vital for a strong, effective military, although critics question the exemption’s rationale.
