One of the biggest issues facing the United States is the number of immigrants coming to the US from Mexico and Central America. With the large number of immigrants flowing across the border, the problem of language has arisen. Throughout the US’ history, the issue of what language should be spoken has been real.

The good news is that students generally love learning about cultural issues, whether it is music, films, books, and TV, or other things such as food or fashion.

Initially termed to mean in reference to the world as a whole, as opposed to individual countries, but today, while still holding true, it also means something more.

People separated by thousands of miles have never been closer and it takes nothing more than a touch of a button.
