Formality is sometimes seen to be the degree of social distance between the members of any communicative event. It can also be seen as the degree of strictness or flexibility to customs and rules which govern the behaviour of people in any communicative context.

those are old ideas. Moreover‚ if someone asks you for an opinion and you know that the other person expects a positive comment you do not have another alternative to lie.

In his Second Treatise on Law and Government‚ John Locke outlines clear and coherent standards for what constitutes a legitimate government and what persons one such government would have authority over.

The choice we make and the actions we take result in consequences we have to live with for the rest of our lives. The decisions we make in the present will decide what the future holds for us. Today young adults are pushed to make better grades and excel in extracurricular activities so as to get into a good college. The motto "the more high quality education the better the future"� has been taken as gospel for today’s youth. This often makes me wonder whether our goals are contorted and out of
