Importance of Speech
There is no doubt that speech or language affects individuals greatly shaping their daily lives.
1. Speech as a Way to Learn
One of the many reasons importance of speech is highlighted is that it helps individuals learn. Looking at when an infant is born there is no expressive speech in form of formal language. However, there is the reception in the infant and the use of non-verbal language. This paves way for infants to listen and learn to speak the language. As science says, language is formed by listening and infants develop the main structure of the language within the first 7 years of life. Other than that, individuals who learn in their native language learn better because of the ease of understanding and less language barrier. Therefore, the importance of speech is undeniable.
2. Get Along with People
When humans are living in a different society or a country, the one thing that makes them comfortable is how well they get along with the people of that culture. This can be achieved by learning and using their language to communicate with them. Speaking in a familiar language turn people more acceptable and supportive of you. Therefore, traveling alone or living in a country whose language one cannot speak is considered a serious impairment because the chances of unable to adapt to that environment become less when there is a communication gap.
3. Speech is Reflective of Background
It is often said that way people speak depicts their education and brought up. Just like people of different profession use their jargon related to their field in work and ends up adopting it in their daily lives. Similarly, the training children receive during their childhood imprints in their minds and reveal itself either consciously or unconsciously. If the children have grown up listening to foul speech and abusive language, they will internalize those words. Later, it can become a problem when they speak or use the same speech without realizing it. This not only applies to verbal language but non-verbal language as well, i.e. use of the facial expressions, sounds, gestures, etc. says a lot about the person. On the contrary, well-read, educated, and people belonging to a sophisticated brought up will use decent language and gestures which also highlight the importance of speech through which people will have an eloquent speech.
