Post 24

Last Friday we learned about the power of words and that words are the most powerful drug. We talked about the association some words have such as Diamonds and thinking of Deberrs and on a darker note we mentioned Blood Diamonds. We learned that sometimes soft language can desensitize us. Then we watched George Carlin make some good points about soft language such as shell shock then it turned into battle exhaustion then operational exhaustion and eventually the word being used today is post-traumatic stress disorder. Then we talked about how words are specially used and picked to advertise such as old fashion which makes you think of the good old days. Some other words are homemade which makes you think of how mom used to make and cuisine which makes you think of elegance and classy.
