English I agree with the statement that English is the world's most important language. The importance lies in the breadth of English spoken, rather than the depth.

Lastly, English is the most important language and will continue to be because of

English Poems The problem regarding racial equality can be traced as far back as the African-American slave trade of the 1400s. But even after the Civil War and the Reconstruction of the United States, there is no denying the fact that a racial tension still exists between "whites" and "blacks."
