Twentieth Day

Today was language and society. It was very interesting, so far its all about how we address people and what that says about our relationship with them. One example I could give is address within the military, some people have to be addressed by rank others by position.

Within families names are often not used, rather terms like, mum or grandma are used.

Also in this class we will cover 'bad' language and how people are described in the media.
