Language and Indentity





Every individual's use of language is unique. Language makes people, so it's something that must be important for us. Some factors that make you be "You", are the following:

  • Gender
  • Parent's language
  • Geographical area
  • Education
  • Friends influence
  • Favourite words
Also remember that you don't use the same language in every occation, don't you? For example, if you are speaking with the Headmaster of your school, you won't say "What's up dude?", as you may say to a friend. We as humans have the capability of recognizing different situations, based on their formality. 

Other important factor, as I said before, is the gender. Try to think in words your gender usually say and the other one doesn't.Probably you have thought a few. This is because male and female are different. In fact, they speak different. Women often use more abstract words, while men more concrete ones. There are mainly two postures of seeing the life:
  • Feminism: point of view that put women in the top, being better than men.
  • Machismo: common view of the past civilizations that thinks men are better than women.
