What consequences for the Swedish language are there of this English-language expansion into secondary school system education? Should the government make any restrictions? Why or why not?


I want to begin with my burning interest in English studies, something that might affect my opinion towards this area. Anyhow, some languages and of course cultures are considered, more or less, being under threat because the English-language expansion. Throughout the whole history, nations have expanded and that expansion brought about the death of some cultures and languages. We can notice and come to the conclusion that the extent to which a language can be reborn is very small. This is why I will look closer to the question:
What consequences for the Swedish language are there of this English language expansion into secondary school system education? Should the government make any restrictions? Why or why not?
I do not think that the government should make any restrictions within this area and that the consequences are not as negative as in other countries yet.
First of all, I have to mention the big American-life style-influence- that exists in Sweden. As many people know, food habits, fashion etc. are imported directly mostly from the USA and then from other countries as well. This great influenced Sweden, has affected the local language to a great extent, but one factor that might help the Swedish language stay alive under a longer period of time, is the people’s awareness of the English influenced Swedish. With the help of this factor, people can conserve old traditions more, something that may help the Swedish language. This is why I believe that the English language does not create significant negative consequences. Furthermore, the English loan words even enrich the Swedish vocabulary. Words as: alliteration, gravitation, Darwinism etc. emphasize my opinion. This is one reason for the Swedish government not to take any restrictions.
There are many other factors that affect my opinion about the English influence on Swedish, but as far as I understand, in Sweden, this expansion creates more then it destroys.
As far as the people are aware of this fact and as long as they do something about this, for example conserving old traditions and give birth to diasporas abroad, the English- language expansion represents no major consequences. Another process that underlines my theory is that the English loan words enrich the Swedish language, something which is mainly positive.
As I wrote above, the Swedish government should not take any restrictions yet and the present consequences are mostly unimportant.
