My work is situated at the intersection of the theme of this fellowship and a wildly ambitious set of outcomes
Bu ülkenin niye gay marşı yok abi? Gerçek gay ikonu şarkıcımız bile yok. Bugün gay marşı yazıyoruz bu ülke için, katılıma açık.
1960s literary criticism: This playwright's work is more of a comment on the society than it is a question.

The English sentence "The Spanish language is designed to avoid responsibility" is designed to avoid the responsibility of saying who designed it (no one).
The Spanish language is designed to avoid responsibility.
Perhaps the structure of the language is why Latinos are kinda irresponsible. The language informs the people's mentality.
Some examples:
Today at breakfast the bread 🍞 ran out so guy said:
"Se vació" - it emptied itself
And then someone dropped their 📞 phone:
"Se me cayó" - it fell from me
You could say "i dropped it" like "yo deje caer mi celular" or something, but people dont talk that way.
Everything in the language absolves responsibility from the individual, as if things happen by chance.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Spanish accidental "se" constructions (e.g. "se me cayó", "se vació") are standard grammar for unintentional events, used by Spanish speakers and paralleled elsewhere. They do not indicate or cause irresponsibility; strong linguistic determinism is discredited.

Time to explain: "Yesterday" is a Beatles reference. "I" is a homophone for "eye". "Won" suggests power. "Nobel" is an annagram of noble. Odd is an antonym of "even" which suggests equality. This is about an EFL speaker who finally understands a Beatles song, which is ennobling.
