Mathematics is not better than English.

Thank you, Con for your arguments and rebuttal, This is some bug. I am not able to type in Rich text or import things from MS word. "English may be a universally accepted language, albeit that doesn't mean that the world wouldn't be a global village without it. English is a mere way to communicate, we have developed other ways to communicate, or instead of English, another universal language, though mathematics is forever lasting, without maths, there is no physics," English is the easiest language to learn and that is why it is a universally accepted language.(a)Without mathematics, there is no physics. That is a true statement but please note the fact that without english, there will be "Gonit" in India as Physics while something other in Bangladesh. So, the Indian physicist will believe that Earth is made up of 5 elements while Bangladesh's which might be more developed, will be knowing that there are atoms but discussions of such things will be minimum as english as a medium to communicate will be neil. (a)http://mylanguages.org... "Let me tell you a funny story, once, Japan's Prime Minster Mori, who can't speak English had a meeting with Obama. Afterwards, we TRANSLATORS will do the work for you. " Translators...what does that mean? English is most required for universal talks. Could we have debated this topic without english? Maybe it is that even the president doesn't know english...does that prove that he knows any maths? Maybe not. Is it such that Japan has become a powerful country without any english? Of-course not!! Japan needs other resources which do not grow or are not found there...How will it negotiate? Speaking Japanese? Or english? and Also what did the president of Japan face when he failed to speak english? Humiliation...this leads to my next rebuttal/argument. " they would't have been able to advance their country with the 'pro' technology unless the engineers knew how to use mathematics, or unless the citizens didn't use the everyday reasonings they do. from little kids who go to kindergarden to the old grannies, we use it, and these reasonings are under mathematics, at school when we study, we are given activites and assignments which increase our skills in these reasonings," Really? Ok! Suppose no one in a country knows english and only can think of mathematics. really, think about it! Do ideas like "democracy" or "youtube" come out of maths? Obviously not! So, how does that argument prove that mathematics is more important than English? Also, yes. We do use a lot of such reasoning but what my point is that, There are crores out there who cannot even tell the time or read the currency notes that they have earned because they do not understand what do those little figures in english mean...That says it. English is required as much as maths. Mathematics might be the root but english is the actual shoot and that is what is seen by the people, not the roots. Let me explain. Do we hang our certificates of merit around our necks so that people can understand that we are smart? No. What actually matters in this world not only to survive but to do more than that, to live, we need English. To express ourselves in an impressive way, english is must. How we use our diction is what matters if we prosper in life. School assignments are also Drama, Extempore etc..to improve our speaking skill. ............................... "Don't enter this world if you want merely to survive but do so if you want to LIVE" Maths is important, I agree. It is important for many things but english is equally important in this world if we want to do more than survive, if we want to LIVE!!
