Subj : Languages as Political Influence

I have argued in college for the teaching of languages as political vessels
that further the agenda of a certain people group.  What I mean by this is
that if everyone speaks the same language they often have their own political
views, so by say teaching English in school the student will get under the
culture of the English speaking peoples.  It is a method of cultural adoption.  The closer one identifies as being a part of a group the more they conform to that group's way of thinking.  Thus learning English as a Second Language is being culturally and politically converted (at least in some respect) to the culture and political leanings of that language and thus the people group affiliated with that language.

Cheers!
