Dialect is a particular form of a language that is particulate to a specific region or social group. It varies depending on where about you are from. Because of the huge diversity of cultures and religions in different cities, there is not just one dialect per city. Because of the amount of foreign people living in different cities to their home towns, the number of dialects is rapidly increasing.
We all know the stereotypes for the way in which English people speak. Everyone seems to think that we as English people speak in a received pronunciation accent. They seem to think of English people as being very posh and this is how we are widely thought as across the world. What they don't seem to realise is that in England alone we have so many different dialects and more and more are coming about throughout the years.
Because of all of the developments of the travel industry, people are able to travel around the world more quicker and easier than ever before, even just travelling around your own country from city to city. This has led to people picking up different phrases and words from other cities and bringing them home with them and then these words are becoming apart of their everyday language. Also, this then starts to spread within the hometowns. Not only is travel affecting our dialects, but other things as well. One of the biggest other affecting factors on our dialects is social media. Now a days, we can speak to people all around the globe from the comfort of our own bedrooms and can watch all different types of people on things such as YouTube. Also, music culture affects our dialects with so many popular singers and rapping performing in American accents. People in countries that do not speak English still listen to artists who sing in English, this also affects their dialects.

There's some good information here and you found a good source for helping your linguistic understanding of the topic. You need to use more than one source and really plan your article for your GRAPE, thinking about the conventions of articles and the needs of the reader to be guided through the interesting aspects in an entertaining way. You have quite an engaging written voice but it just feels like you are explaing a bit about the topic without carefully crafting ideas into a satisfying whole that hooks the reader. Nowadays is one word, a part (in that context) is two; more quicker should be more quickly.
