Language and gender,dialect,prejudice

This week's assignment of English class is to review all article I've read so far, and apply the idea and implication to my final research. My research is going to be TOEIC. Why Toeic became so popular in Japan? and how universities and companies and society as a whole prompt people to take Toeic test. And what will it affect. Data might be from web site from 2~3 universities.

This is review from already read articles.
English imperialism exists among Japan. English as a linguafranca.
Media has strong power to give one-sided stance to reservers(reader , watcher here students)
Speaking differently from common language could make prejudice. ( Putonghua, gay, dialect, gender)

I think I can apply these ideas to my research.

I noticed recently that after reading article, my job is to apply the main idea to my own experience. I found smart people do this a lot!! I recently read book titled "the way of insightful thinking" by Takehiko Kariya. I really got insight into how to think well. And this book said this kind of thinking, apply to something like association game. Respond to one question with fact, then make one more question, and answer to this with fact, continues. By breaking up first big question, and find answer to small questions, and apply it to first one.
This is GOOOOOD!!
