Interview with Mike (“Dirty Jobs”) Rowe on Degradation of our language.  (5 mins)

Mike Rowe is a TV personality who has championed the idea of young people seeking what he called in he title of his TV series  “Dirty Jobs.”  Jobs where the worker gets his hands dirty but soon can be making a good income and not have a huge college loan debt to repay. 

Rowe is also very concerned that, as young generations come along, we are experiencing a decline in our societal level of standards which is resulting in a constant lowering of our ability to communicate with others.

Alpha-Phonics Blog Editor Note: The headline you see on the top of the screen at the beginning of the video is incorrect.  The discussion is actually about the effect of current cultural forces (Think hand-held phones, computers,  texting, internet, poor education, etc.) on our language and our ability to successfully communicate with each other. Listen closely for Mike Rowe suggesting that before long we will  be reduced to just grunting to each other.

Rowe has  a foundation which holds an annual contest to select young people to be given scholarships to Trade Schools.  He is giving $ 500,000 this year and  given  $5,000,000 in scholarship money in the past few years.  For further information on his foundation’s work go HERE.————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
