communication tool?
PRO and CONS mainly based on meetings presented in the
program: TED Talks
 TEXTING

• Different form of writing

• New (made possible by
technological devices)
• Loose structure
• Write like we speak
• Usage of slang words (LOL,
Slash)
• Very rapid development
HOW LANGUAGE SHAPES THE WAY WE
THINK
• Every language has different sounds, vocabulary and
structures
• Languages have many differences, from the number of
colors, to the way people count, and directions
• Because of these differences people with different
cultures think differently
