Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language"
In the reading, "Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language," it describes how the world as we know is altered and perceived differently by people because of different language principles. These principles describe various details in language and communication that change the outcomes of our perceptions of the world. For example, if three people from contrasting occupations observe an object the three individuals may obtain different opinions and information about the object because of the every day jargon they use in the profession. Other principles and their examples in language alter our perceptions of the world is by the way we structure or word certain facts. This happens intentionally to persuade or make information in an individuals favor sometimes but this also may happen unintentionally just by the way we communicate. Not only does the sequence of words change the way information is perceived by the slight modification of words selected also accomplishes this. The change of words allows the opportunity to make a negative or positive view for people to understand about a topic or fact.
