English and social background, and "Standard English"

Hi!

I have some questions I hope someone could help me with. I really appreciate your help!

How can English vary according to the social background of the speaker? Does anyone have any examples of this?

What exacly is meant by the concept "Standard English"? How, and why can the standard vary from country to country?

How did English become a global language?

Are you asking out of curiousity, or are you asking because you are taking a course in linguistics? What are your thoughts on the subjects?
