I completely agree with Jordan that “the standard” for English in Malaysia is not the same as “the standard” in Zimbabwe. On one hand, I feel that there should not be one right way of speaking English or better known as the white method of speaking English. On the other hand, as we have discussed in class, there needs to be a standardize way to facilitate communication for the function of daily activities. One of the suggestions that I take from that lecture is how we should discover similarities within each other rather than make clear distinctions and categorized ourselves so easily. This may be quite abstract at the moment but I believe if explored further, this statement has potential to reduce racial tensions.
