With the widespread use of computer mediated communication devices and these emojis, it is worth exploring how much, or rather in what ways, our emotional communication is influenced by emojis. Most emotion related emojis and emoticons (emotional icons) communicate these emotions only in a general sense and cannot really touch the unexplored territories of dynamic human emotions and feelings.

A family environment that has friendly conversation, care, company and love will go a long way to make a child comfortable to peacefully express his or her ideas and worries.

It is different from a home that entertains anger, fights, foul exchange of words, physical violence, absent parenting, and others. Children are distressed by these negative emotions and are affected by them, sometimes in ways that even years of therapy can hardly heal.

Poetry is beyond rhymes and play of words, it is an art that enables poets to express carefully deeper thoughts and meaningful mental constructions which simple conversational words cannot present sufficiently. It is an art because we enjoy its richness especially as it informs both the society about itself and the outside world, and the world about itself and in relation to that particular society, respectively, in an inward and outward dynamic.

With language as the vehicle and safeguard for the treasures in poetry, it follows that when a language is polluted, there will be repercussions in the poetry of that language, and in the understanding of the corpus of poetry that has lived generations before such pollutions. Dynamics of languages are diverse and are often irreversible if appropriate action is not taken.

A positive ideology behind a language is important for its life and survival. When this positive ideology is communicated, the love, passion and sense of ownership are deepened, especially among young people.

Researchers who studied reverse language shift say positive ideology and positive beliefs associated with speaking the language together with a strong cultural support are the two factors that most influence positive language growth among youth.

Children can be encouraged to learn foreign languages even without being told their mother languages are not good enough. This way they will keep their love towards their mother languages and will not feel shameful to use them.

Kwa sasa, haina maana yoyote kukaa na kusimuliana historia ya mambo yaliyotokea nyuma, hasa yale yenye kuleta maumivu ya kijamii, bila kuyatazama kwa mtazamo mpana wenye maono ya mbeleni. Hii ni nadharia nzuri kuitumia katika kuizungumzia historia pana iliyopo nyuma ya pazia la historia ya utumwa.
Historia ya utumwa ni kielelezo dhahiri kwamba bila kujisimamia wenyewe kwa umoja wa nia tunakuwa ni vibaraka wa watu wenye tamaa, ukweli ambao upo wazi hata katika maisha ya kila siku.
