Okay so this week I did some (external)research on why words are important. So I wanted to comment a little on that and then bring some other ideas into it. So her first point was it connects us to others. For that point I feel like ive really been driving that one in. Without any form of language we would go back to the time when we didn’t have language and would just cry. Her next idea was that words give us the ability to explain the abstract. This idea that without words we couldn’t explain things in the abstract. I guess that’s true, I don’t know how I would explain the philosophical theory of cosmology without words. The next is the idea of being able to tell a full story. Which makes a lot of sence, without words I could not explain a full story, even if it was like the words podcast, and acting it out, I would not be able to explain a story in full. The last one was to expand our imagination, but what I want to look at is the fourth one, connecting us to one to tell about the other. I mean think about that, you can’t tell someone about someone else’s history without connecting to the other. That’s crazy, if that were the case we would lose all sence of history with each passing generation. This idea can do one of two things, it could either allow us to spend maybe a one hundred year span and then just poof start over or it could lead to the death of all humanity because we would not know what killed who before us. I think that would be a cool theory to look into. But one concept I want to bring in is the concept that words have meanings other than what they mean. For example, I just spent the last hour taking a test on grammar, this idea that if a word changes place or tense it could mean a whole different part of speech. That’s pretty cool that everything means one thing, but it could mean another, but in the general sence of society it means one. Okay now Im Confusing myself.
