Does Language Influence our View of the World? We use language to describe our subjective perception of the world.
If I say “I feel cold”, then I use language to describe how I feel. This is nothing new. The interesting question now is: does it also work the other way around? Can the language that we use influence the way that we perceive and view things? The idea that that the language that we use can influence the way that we think is nothing new. Counterterrorism and the English Language. The New York Times is finally calling torture by its name.
Why did it wait so long? Alex Torrenegra/Flickr The announcement that the New York Times will now refer to Bush Administration torture by its proper name is welcome news, tempered only by Executive Editor Dean Baquet's unfortunate attempt to rationalize the old policy. "When the first revelations emerged a decade ago, the situation was murky," he wrote. "The details about what the CIA did in its interrogation rooms were vague. But every torturing government insists that its interrogations are not, in fact, illegal torture. All that has been known for years! Then Baquet wrote:
PressThink - PressThink, a project of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University, is written by Jay Rosen. Elizabeth Warren's GOP Past Could Help Her in 2020. The question for her, then, is whether she’s willing to try turning a weakness into a strength by dusting off a piece of her past and making it not merely a whispered admission, but a central part of the story she tells voters.
Yes, I was a Republican, and this is why I’m not anymore. Warren’s reluctance so far suggests she thinks that chapter is something to apologize for. Perhaps she should embrace it instead. The conservative streak that Katrina Cochran remembers was still with Warren when, in the early 1980s, the young law professor made the biggest jump of her fledgling academic career and moved from the University of Houston to the larger and more prestigious UT Austin.
- The Washington Post. Peacemaker Violence Prevention Lesson Plans and Education K-12. The PeaceMakers curriculum is a proven-effective K-12 public school-based program developed by the FreeWay Project in 1996.
It has been field-tested in hundreds of Missouri classrooms. The curriculum is based on the concept that violence begins with attitudes of mind, progresses through angry speech, and results in hostile actions. It uses dozens of interactive games and activities to teach students to speak courteously and treat others politely, with dignity and respect . . . the same way they would like to be spoken to and treated. PeaceMakers curriculum uses fresh lesson plans and challenging learning activities to teach three fundamental principles: 1. Be sure you know the truth before you speak; control what you say and how you say it; do not criticize or condemn anyone personally. Conflict Information Consortium.

Bell Tolls. MEDIALIST. How Cities Became Childless. The Future of the City Is Childless. Read: The Steady Destruction of America’s Cities New York is the poster child of this urban renaissance.
But as the city has attracted more wealth, housing prices have soared alongside the skyscrapers, and young families have found staying put with school-age children more difficult. Since 2011, the number of babies born in New York has declined 9 percent in the five boroughs and 15 percent in Manhattan. (At this rate, Manhattan’s infant population will halve in 30 years.) In that same period, the net number of New York residents leaving the city has more than doubled.
In high-density cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., no group is growing faster than rich college-educated whites without children, according to Census analysis by the economist Jed Kolko. Cities were once a place for families of all classes. The counties that make up Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia shed a combined 2 million domestic residents from 2010 to 2018.
