Linguistic imperialism: African perspectives
Abstract
Ninety per cent of the population in Africa today speak only African languages (Ng˜ug˜ı wa Thiong’o, 1992.
p.27).
Seventy per cent of South Africa’s population understand Zulu (Neville Alexander in Bhanot, 1994). There’s no such thing as Nigerian English (Achebe, 1992. p.73). This is a response to a recent article in ELT Journal on aspects of African language policy (Bisong, 1995). Among the points taken up are: research evidence from African scholars; multilingualism and monolingualism; proposed changes in language policy from the Organization for African Unity and in current initiatives in South Africa; the language that literature is written in; bilingual education; and whose interests ELT is serving.
(PHILLIPSON, R. ELT Journal. Oxford. v.50. Issue 2. 1996. p.160-167. Disponível em: 50/2/160.abstract>. Acesso em: 25 set. 2015.)

Same-sex marriage in the United States
In the United States, same-sex marriage has been legal nationwide since June 26, 2015, when the United States Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that state-level bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. The court ruled that the denial of marriage licenses to same-sex couples and the refusal to recognize those marriages performed in other jurisdictions violates the Due Process and the Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The ruling overturned a precedent, Baker v. Nelson.
