British and American English Comparative
In a world where globalization is the trend – a global economy, a global internet, global warming, global businesses – it should not be surprising to learn that there is now also an undisputed global language, namely English. Because English today is used in a plethora of contexts around the world, as the native language of millions, the official language of numerous nations, and a lingua franca in a multitude of international dealings, more users of English than ever before either feel some ownership in the language through their national dialect or some resentment towards the Western cultural norms that tend to come embedded with the language. These citizens of English as an international language feel that changes need to be made: in how the language is viewed in general, in attitudes towards varieties of English, in the construct of English proficiency tests, and in methods of teaching English.

Linguistic and Nonlinguistic Causes of Why an Individual May Have Difficulties in Reading
Linguistic and Nonlinguistic Causes of why an Individual may have Difficulties in Reading. Causes, Characteristics a student may display; research; Strategies to help a student become a more successful reader.
Neuroimaging shows that some reading impairment may be reduced to developmental dyslexia where, for instance, the brain confuses letters because they sound alike (rather than dyslexia being simply a visual problem), or the brain has difficulties, along a spectrum, in either the memory, motor and cognitive systems. The brain imperfectly visualizes and divides letters. Poor readers use different neural pathways than effective readers, and defective readers moreover rely on Broca's area for decoding text. Not only do dyslexic brains work harder at decoding, but they also different parts of the brain than good readers do
Inventories of Black Entertainment and Sports Institutions From 1865-2012
Black Entertainment and Sports Institutions/Organizations in Atlanta, GA
1865 – 2012
During Harlem's renaissance, Atlanta was often called "the Harlem of the South" due to its rich heritage, particularly in the area of music. Famous artists such as Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Jackie Wilson, Dina Washington, and Billie Holiday regularly performed in Atlanta's many exclusively-black clubs. Accommodating many tastes in music, the clubs featured minstrel, ragtime, vaudeville, blues, jazz, classical, rhythm and blues, and soul. Atlanta's influence is not merely limited to music, however; with the third largest black population among American cities, Atlanta has proven itself to be a bastion of opportunities for African Americans in the areas of higher education, sports and all types of artistic expression.
