BILINGUALISM
Surveys show that in the USA one in seven people speaks a foreign language other than English at home. In the past, second generation children were usually encouraged to adopt the customs, culture and language of whatever was identified as the majority culture. Today, people much more likely to promote bilingualism.
There are different theories on the best way to teach a child to use two languages. Most researchers agree that a child who is exposed to two languages an early age will naturally learn to use . Children may be expected to go some periods of mixing the two languages, sometimes even within the same sentence.
A separation of the two languages will occur gradually. Children may also experiment with the two languages to create special effects or express themselves in specific settings. For example, language may be considered less formal and used for information about events related to home and family, while the is considered more formal and used in activities outside the home.
Less confusion will occur if children learn over time to associate each language with a different context, instance, one language could be used to speak to the mother and one to speak to the father.

SOAP OPERAS
The sheer popularity of soap operas has meant that academic interest was captured the moment soap operas appeared on the world’s television screens. Given their ability to enhance your sense of love, romance and personal success through vicarious experience, soap operas have been defined as cultural fantasies mediating viewers’ realities. In short, they give the viewer the opportunity to experience life having to deal themselves with the risks and problems. Now soap operas are receiving renewed interest from media specialists. Some have launched an ambitious international survey aimed at fully investigating the nature of serial dramas and their impact on audiences around the world. A brief history of the genre is also being planned and there are hopes to produce a continent continent description of the legacy of the soap opera, together short analyses of individual countries.
is hoped that studying plot summaries of series that have been particularly popular in each country will give an approximate picture of worldwide tendencies and clues to the underlying success of this genre. Technological and financial factors, are key determinants of the quality and volume of soap opera programming, are other essential elements to be researched.
One issue that researchers have focused attention on is the extent to which a country’s serial drama offerings are indigenous or imported. A great number of less wealthy countries cannot afford to produce programmes by and subsequently import another country’s output. soap operas are a form of light entertainment centred around apparently trivial and innocuous story lines, they actually pose a threat to the importing country’s culture. One of the unfortunate ramifications of importing another country’s programming is that you also import that country’s cultural values. These dramas, then, are a key feature in the process of cultural imperialism.
Despite this, the conclusion is , particularly in developing nations, the cultural legacy of soap operas has largely been positive – far more positive, in fact, than the genre’s reputation as an especially “lowbrow” form of entertainment might lead us to believe. they draw large audiences, soaps have proven to be a highly effective medium of educational messaging. The example of Latin American governments demonstrates the genre’s potential to address such concerns as literacy and sexual health. In particular, countries like Mexico and Brazil have had remarkable success promoting social campaigns by including them the story lines of serial dramas. Consequently, as these two countries are among the world’s most prolific exporters of soaps, educational messaging is often transmitted around the globe.
