The Individual and Collective Consequences of Language

Abstract: A 7 page discussion of the power of language. Whether the ability to communicate separates us from other animals and whether language is innate or acquired is applied to the contemporary social function of language as it is aided with the mass media and the wonders of modern technology. The contention is presented that language defines how we come to know and interact in our world, even why we believe or refuse to believe in the things that drive us both individually and collectively. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
