Known as one of the countries with the highest proficiency in English language, the Philippines was once named the world’s best country in business English. As a matter of fact, the country became a hub for call centers. Because of this and several other factors, many Filipinos equate an individual’s intelligence to one’s capacity to speak English fluently. I just saw Yeng Constantino’s IG post 2 days ago. She captioned it with, “Tama! 👍🏼👍🏼 Agree?” https://www.instagram.com/p/BBJ–7NTeab/ What do you think about Yeng’s latest statement? Do you agree that one’s English proficiency is not a measure of one’s intelligence?

The history of the American fur trade is brief, yet pivotal, full of tales of daring but also grave destruction. Though the fur trade forged the romantic image of the mountain man – idealized loners purportedly as rugged as the wilderness they felt beholden to tame — the fur trade was also very much a business. In a sense it ushered in the first emergence of the archetypal Western entrepreneur, the visionary iconoclast who forges ahead answerable to no one but himself. This is the era of “The Revenant,” where trappers go into pristine landscapes among indigenous populations to extract…
