Whether you are writing an essay or talking to a person, language is always there. Language is what allows us to communicate with one another and it also give a lot a way about a person's background. You can easily tell how a person was raised or the type of personality they have by the language they use to speak. You can even tell from the way they write because the way a person speaks is usually reflected in their writing as well. If a person speaks using proper language and less slang, you can be able to tell that that person was raised well by his or her parents. Another example is that if someone is using constantly using foul language and insults, you can automatically tell that they have a rude personality and vice versa. You can even tell by the language they use when meeting someone for the first time.
Language is also important towards how we speak to certain people. For example, we are more likely to use a more proper for of diction to an authority figure, such as a parent or a teacher. People generally speak differently with their friends than when they are around authorities or even strangers. When we are around our friends, we tend to speak with more slang, less proper usage of words, and more relaxed. This is because we feel more comfortable around our friends and there is no need to be formal around each other. When we are around someone who is older than us or someone who is of importance, we speak with a formal tone of voice because it is an important way of showing respect.
