This thesis explains the significance that bilingualism has played and should play in life. It consists of three chapters: Chapter 1 examines bilingual perspectives from different communities inside the United States; Chapter 2 presents a critical assessment of research from linguistics and psychology; and Chapter 3 explores the popular support for English-Spanish bilingualism sweeping through urban America. My first chapter highlights the interconnection of bilingualism with identity, exemplified in the Amish, Navajo, and Gullah communities. This analysis of ethnic groups represents more broadly the negative and positive experiences of bilingualism. My second chapter reflects on the validity and assumptions behind prevailing theories of what it means to be bilingual. Based on what those theories claim, I propose that bilingualism's science should consider the fact that, from infancy to adulthood, thinking develops through the strength of our ability to generalize. Finally, I conclude that bilingualism should increasingly be the norm. The lessons from my first and second chapters strongly suggest that the US should fully embrace its Spanish-English bilingualism because of the way it enhances well-being, be it through self-actualization or a more robust ability to think. The central thread of my work is the development of a moral conscience that acts as a lighthouse to illuminate strengths and biases from different cultures, transmitted through language, up to each person to freely determine. The wisdom that emerges from bilingualism facilitates a more flourishing life for people and communities alike.

520 $a Esta tesis explica el significado que el bilinguismo ha tenido y deberia tener en la vida. Comprende tres capitulos: el Capitulo 1 examina varias perspectivas bilingues de comunidades diferentes dentro de los Estados Unidos; el Capitulo 2 presenta una apreciacion critica de la investigacion de la linguistica y psicologia; y el Capitulo 3 explora el apoyo popular del bilinguismo ingles-espanol que se extiende por las zonas urbanas estadounidenses. Mi primer capitulo resalta la interconexion del bilinguismo con la identidad, ejemplificada en las comunidades Amish, Navajo y Gullah. Este analisis de grupos etnicos representa mas ampliamente las experiencias negativas y positivas del bilinguismo. Mi segundo capitulo reflexiona sobre la validez y suposiciones detras de las teorias predominantes sobre lo que significa ser bilingue. Con base en lo que afirman aquellas teorias, propongo que la ciencia del bilinguismo deberia considerar el hecho de que, desde la infancia a la adultez, el modo de pensar se desarrolla a traves de la fuerza de nuestra capacidad de generalizar. Por ultimo, concluyo que el bilinguismo cada vez mas deberia ser la norma. Las lecciones de mi primer y segundo capitulo sugieren fuertemente que los Estados Unidos deberia acoger su bilinguismo espanol-ingles debido a la forma en que robustece el bienestar, ya sea a traves de la autoactualizacion o una habilidad mas solida para pensar. El hilo conductor de mi trabajo es el desarrollo de una conciencia moral que actua como un faro para iluminar fortalezas y sesgos de culturas diferentes, transmitidos a traves del lenguaje que cada persona deberia determinar libremente. La sabiduria que emerge del bilinguismo facilita una vida mas floreciente tanto para las personas como para las comunidades.
