Re: Framing: Thug, Terrorist, Pirate, any Difference?
To anybody who stumbles upon this thread and takes the time to read it,
This thread is very important, since it itself frames very precisely the problem with information and thought that makes us either negotiate peace or go to war.
I guess then that it's the difference between life and death. Does that framing get your attention?
I have a few questions. How do we make people constantly aware of the linguistic manipulation they face--and create--every day? How do we make people understand that all communication involves a framework that is itself part of the communication? How do we make people understand that manipulation extends beyond the narrow worlds of politics and advertising and is in fact part of all communication, including (intentionally) what I'm trying to communicate right now?
How do we make people careful consumers of language?
