The Power of Words in Wartime Journal Question
I think that in a way Lakoff is right and wrong. Yes language does in my opinion dehumanize a person but that's only if you use it in a rude or mean manner. It also can be used in a way of being I guess you can say nice. But most of the time in war the words that are spoken between the people fighting are usually rude and mean. I know personally if I was in a war I would use language in a negative way to dehumanize the others I was fighting. I think that the language mostly mean that use is like a way of letting out there frustration. Frustration from being in a war that more than likely they don't want to be fighting in the first place. War in my opinion takes a huge part of your life away it changes your 100 %. War I think is the mecca of all evil its useless why should we be fighting other countries for things that we really don't even believe in but that's another blog.
