Why England?

In this little introduction, we will try to summarize the main reasons why England, as a country, has a huge relevance with respect not only to English language, but also in connection with several aspects of general Western history.

Thus, it is necessary to repeat, in the first place, that England is the birthplace of English, which is a West Germanic language that ranks third among the most spoken languages nowadays. Moreover, it is currently considered a lingua franca for many international social sectors.

On the other hand, over the formation of the West, England has influenced in different forms to create the cultural wealth and distinct points of the West.

For example, in the field of philosophy, England has contributed to the history of ideas with the Empiricism (think of John Locke and David Hume).

In the field of art, this country witnessed the emergence of Romanticism (think of Lord Byron, for example).                                                                                                                                                                

On the other hand, the Industrial Revolution had its main development in England.

Finally, it may be noted that many sports (such as football, cricket, rugby, tennis, hockey and box) have born in England.

We believe that this brief presentation is enough to show how significant and essential the knowledge about England’s culture is; so, our purpose is to upload general but serious information to the blog in order to provide a general perspective of this country. We hope we’ll make it well!
