Having a professional inform the viewer will give them a sense of security, professionals don’t lie. Having many people persuading the viewer will be more successful than one person. Jen…

“Congo is now total horror story, for years.” This is what Noam Chomsky, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, said after the murder of Patrice Lumumba, former Prime Minister of the DRC, on January the 17th 1961. Unfortunately, he saw right. Since a few decades now, it has been widely observed that the Democratic Republic of Congo, a Central African developing country and former Belgian colony, has been the stage of great instability; and notably massive human…

Psycholinguists have debated the topic of language’s origin and meaning for centuries. These theories are valuable tools to expanding our minds, but can also easily morph our learning process and worldview on the importance of language. This work briefly explains the basis of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, along with Chomsky’s theory of Universal Grammar, and the criticisms of both. Cognitive awareness and strict adhesion to one perspective of language origin has the ability to actively shape language…

campaigns to overthrow them: Bay of Pigs and Operation Mongoose. The Bay of Pigs was a failed attempt to overthrow the Cuban government and create "a provisional government" that "will restore all properties to the rightful owners." According to Noam Chomsky, Operation Mongoose had a budget of 50 million per year, employing 2,500 people including about 500 Americans, and still remained secret for 14 years, from 1961 to 1975. Since 1960, America has also issued an embargo of trade against Cuba.…

Censorship has its pros and cons; some pros include censoring a nation's top-secret technological patent which, if released, would compromise a nation's national security, coupled with civil unrest and make a nation the target amongst other nations for that patent, thus censorship can help keep the peace…

Language is one of the oldest and first uses of communication. Whether it is body language or sign language. Language is the one thing that everyone in the world has in common. “There are about 5000 languages spoken in the world today (a third of them in Africa), but scholars group them together into relatively few families - probably less than twenty. Languages are linked to each other by shared words or sounds or grammatical constructions. The theory is that the members of each linguistic…
