Is education a reason for bad language? In George Orwell's essay, "Politics and the English Language", the reason for the decline of the English language is explored, which is the result of the influence of political mores on the weakening of the English language. The main point of Orwell's essay is that language is in decline compared to politics, that politics or influence on a certain system is a natural growth, and that politics cannot remain outside the English language (Orwell 156) . From Orwell's statement a question arises about the factors that influence the decline of the English language: if politics influences a certain system, can there be other factors that drive the decline of the language, especially the education system? Orwell provides several examples of how politics promotes the decline of the English language, but he overlooks a vital point that has negative effects on the English language: the education system which over time encourages people to hide the truth on certain topics, to be more vague in what they are really trying to say and conform to “social norms,” specifically what people want to hear. In Orwell's essay political language is writing and language that has "an increase of sloppiness and vagueness" (Orwell 161). Political language is meant to hide the truth rather than reveal it. Orwell states that “political language must consist largely of euphemisms, questions, and sheer nebulous vagueness” (Orwell 166). Political language is therefore the reason why English is in decline and why Orwell supports it, but Orwell misses one topic that could be a major concern for the degradation of the English language, the educational value
