Essay & Composition Writing
I NEED AN ADVICE, PLEASE
Hello there, I'm an Italian college student. I'm workin' on a Research Paper about Spanglish.
I'd like to receive a suggestion. I wrote:
"Each population has its own identity. Identity means present and past habits and traditions which modifying and drugging on time those structures on which human beings shaping on."
Is it right?????
Please help me.

Thank you for your answer. You're absolutely right.
I think it doesn't work at all. What I wanted to say is that " these customs and traditions modify(themselves),during the years, and creating those socio-cultural structures on which human beings shaping on.
Is it better?? Maybe I'm making mistakes because I'm trying to translate this sentence from Italian.

Well, direct translation is a common impediment. Anyway, I now understand what you want to say, I think:
Each population has its own identity, its past and present customs and traditions, which are constantly changing through time and thereby creating those socio-cultural structures with which human beings are shaped.

Thank you so much. It sounds perfect. I'm reading (again) and modifying (again) my research paper.
I hope it is good. I really need a excellent grade.
Thank you again for your time.

I don't want to disturb you. But could you please tell me what you think about this? (which is the following sentence of the one we wrote about)
First of all, the language which allows communication between people, but also has the brief(task) to name things.

You have some structural problems:
First of all, language allows communication between people, but it also has the task of naming things.
