These days, using English phrases are considered cool and sophisticated by young people. Even The Media such as TV station, radio, and commercials are using few words in english for their slogan as well as any other kind of words that are used to attract people attention. In my country, Most broadcaster which radios station are segmented for young generation using a numerous kind of English phrases as it's sound more funky and up to date. Besides, Commercials are using English name for their product because people suggest that it's more ear-cathcy and it comes across to be higher quality, which actually we can't guarantee. Furthermore, parents this recent years started to speak with their toddlers kid in English, it's kind of lifestyle. However, This kind of mindset in my opinion are downgrading the power of the language of my country.
