Not long after Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election a fellow think tanker type was so dumbfounded that he stated to me; "Lance what everyone is trying to process is how a political campaign based on lies and hate speech could succeed in the most advanced economy in history." Of course, such a statement in and of itself shows just how out-of-touch this gentleman really is. You see, the lies and hate speech actually came from the other side constantly calling the right "racists" and all sorts of other derogatory things and lying to the public while their personal emails showed how they really felt and what the left was really up to.

    Slanting And Charged Language

    The media will often pick and choose from a subject or story, revealing only the bits of information that support their own agenda. Word choice is also very calculated, effectively slanting the writing towards the positive or negative. This charged language manipulates people by injecting bias into information that is advertised as neutral and accurate. The essay “Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language” by Newman P. Birk and Genevieve B. Birk, both authors of Understanding and Using English, further investigates how perspective alters language by describing each of the methods in detail. The Principle of Slanting is described as the meticulous choosing of words in order to most effectively communicate intentions (223), and it can also be…

    Pc Police Language Analysis

    Just as the Party maintained their claims to power through the manipulation of historical fact, the PC Police manipulate language in order to achieve their goals. The dictionary definition of “violent” is: “using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.” This clearly defines violence as a physical act that is deliberately inflicted upon someone with the intent of causing measurable physical harm. Under this traditional definition of violence, murder and war are violent; verbal slurs, rude utterances, and inadvertently offensive comments are not. However, the PC Police claim that these acts are also, in fact, violent, in a newspeak-esque redefinition of the term.…
