The Other Voices STRATEGIES FOR WORKING WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS Maricruz Avitia/Christina Helsel March 9, 2009 "What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attraction and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and peculiarities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us. Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life." ::Octavio Paz::  Read. Think.
