how can i combine them all into a single paragraph?

In the contentious essay, "Should Writers Use They Own English?", Vershawn Ashanti Young opens up popular assumptions about language and writing. He really presses me to think about this single notion of one "right" way of using English. He thinks that language can never be separated from culture and identity, and students should not be forced to go on with a standardized variety of English but should be able to use their variety. A perspective such as this has thrown the mirror in my direction to think further about my practice of writing and my view on language.

As I go through Young's writing, there are a few ideas and arguments upon which he invites me to reflect, including:

1. Linguistic diversity and equality: Young questions the assumption that normally defines one single correctness in speaking and writing English. His impassioned plea is for acceptance and intrinsic worth of different dialects and language varieties among whom are those that are especially associated with minority groups, are equal and valid means of expression as so-called "standard" English.

2. Code meshing vs. code-switching: He introduces the new concept of "code meshing" as the progressive alternative to traditional "code-switching." While code-switching refers to situations in which there would be switching between languages or dialects according to contexts, Young thinks that instead, we should allow natural blending of language varieties both in speech and in writing. According to him, it is an even more ecologically authentic and inclusive use of language.

3. Linguistic Prejudice and its Connection with Racial Prejudice: Young widely and prominent connects linguistic discrimination with racial discrimination. According to him, attitude toward language is usually a reflection of deeper biases and prejudices in society. Such relationships draw Young to question our attitudes toward language and how those may or can influence stereotypes of race.

4. The reality of using language: Young has supported his arguments throughout the text with real-life examples showing that even the most powerful or prestigious individuals do not always abide by the rules of "standard" English. These examples have questioned whether there should be one universally correct way to communicate effectively. Young showed, even formally or professionally, how the fluidity of language adapted to the situation.

5. Reconsidering the teaching of writing: Young finds an urging argument for the teaching of language and writing to be more descriptive than prescriptive. He argues that students, rather, should be taught to understand, and hence to be able to make use of, several dialects simultaneously, instead of forcing their unique usage of language into one standard. This is because he says it attunes the students to real-life communication and diversifies etymology.

In short, Young claims that the rigid, exclusive stance must be relinquished on the question of language use and writing pedagogy. He advanced many crucial arguments against a puristic conception of one "right" way of writing and speaking and called for recognition and valuation of linguistic varieties. He demonstrated how such an attitude would respect the particular identity of members from different language groups but realize improved communication with less prejudice within society.

Young's arguments inform my approach to writing in the following key ways:

1. Being Authentic: Young's writing lets me be myself, accept my voice in writing, and allow the elements of my personal dialect or language background into my work. Thus, reminding me that my peculiar linguistic heritage happens to be an asset rather than a liability in writing.

2. Challenging linguistic norms: Young's work challenges my critical consideration of the "rules" for writing that I have learned in school. By looking into their cultural and social meanings, I wonder if those norms are worth the cause of effective communication that they serve.

3. More tools in my linguistic tool kit: With the marshaling of code meshing by Young, one is encouraged to see a variety of different language varieties as tools of choice to add richness to her or his writing instead of seeing them as erring. This enables a newfound possibility in creative and expressive writing.

4. Consideration of the audience and context: While Young is a great proponent of linguistic diversity, he also makes a very strong case for knowing and understanding the audience and context. What they make me think of is that I would not want to forget that these are considerations in my own writing and yet I would still want to remain true to myself; it's a matter of finding balance between self and effectively communicating your views.

5. Awareness of linguistic power: The writing style of Young brings to prominence the duality within language between exercising oppression and empowerment. With regard to this, it makes me take more review of my use of language from how power ties in with linguistic expression. The words that I utter and the very manner of utterance carry along much influence over others.

6. Democracy in the use of linguistic devices: The work of Young inspired me to use language more inclusively, and have greater regard for diverse linguistic backgrounds. In my writing, any way of diverse linguistic patterns or more openness towards non-standard ways of expression can be there.

That is to say, Young's work attacks the very notion of a traditional sense of "correct" and "right" English. His ideas encourage a writer such as myself to express my own voice while developing my linguistic repertoire. Through all this, Young found a way to enhance more authentic and effective communication. At the same time, Young's work inspires us to think about questions about language identity and power. It calls us to consider attitudes toward language that may in some ways help maintain as well as potentially disrupt traditional social hierarchies. In that way, it will help us better understand the role of language in society and become more conscious and responsible communicators who preserve the beauty of language. Lastly, Young's viewpoint perceives language - for diversity, creativity, and the legitimacy of all manner of expression. Such perception frees not only our writing but also brings a dimension to the linguistic world that is more inclusive and equitable.
