Imagine you go to a National Basketball Association (NBA) season game; you attend the Golden State Warriors versus the Houston Rockets at the Oracle Arena. It is a great game, the emotions are high and the players are physical. The game has two minutes and ten seconds left in double overtime and Houston is up 126 to 123. Kevin Durant, of the Warriors, shoots a three; the shot doesn’t go, Draymond Green appears to have grabbed the rebound in an aggressive way and puts up a flailing shot. You hear two referees blow their whistles and a floor referee walks over to the live media and review table, whirling his finger in the air, as if to call for a rewind. Instantly, the referee reviews the play several times, spending about three minutes watching the four second play.

"I'm sure there have been guys who didn't realize they had a concussion and just kept playing. It's a violent game. The head injuries are the most dangerous to play with. We're trained to play no matter what. If you can run, and you're able to focus and know your responsibilities, you're usually out there playing. You wouldn't have enough players if no one played hurt."

But Gamification and Game-Based Learning did not just spring up from nothingness. Read below to see how the discussion about video games in the classroom evolved into its modern state.

Whereas this rather esoteric question of whether retaining a native language is a natural human right or granted civil right may still be up in the air, linguistic ability indubitably correlates directly to an individual's understanding of societal affairs. Therefore, regardless of native language's standing as a natural or civil right, construction of any barrier preventing access to vital governmental information would directly interfere with the ability of non-English speaking Americans to receive information and ideas, an interest protected by the First Amendment of the US Constitution (Chen 44).

Another important aspect of the debate to clarify is the purpose or end goal of English language policies. Many proponents of official English disagree with the current system of "multilingual government" and advocate for policies which would "[require] that routine government operations be in English" instead of "increasingly [seeking] to cater to immigrants in as many languages as possible"

Instead, I will examine the ideological aspect of language laws and demonstrate that the foundations of the arguments behind official English are fraught with qualities that run contrary to traditional American ideals.
