When we are still children, running around the playground with our friends, our goals in life and what we want to be when we grow up are much different than later in life. We want to me mermaids, princesses, astronauts. When we get older though our values change. Instead of going after what our heart really wants to do, we go after the jobs that offer the biggest paycheck. Our culture’s minds have been warped and bent towards the desire to have a bigger house, a cooler car, and fancier clothes. We put what we think is right in our minds over what we truly love to do deep down in our hearts.

When Beringer discusses that images, metaphors, and symbols serve to relate thought from action, it means that we use those attributes to decipher deeper significance in text than the actual literal meaning. If a reader or researcher were to miss or not understand a symbol, metaphor, or image, they would not have the full scope of the materials they were reading. Not everyone understands every culture’s images, symbols, or metaphors since those attributes tend to be culture-specific. A person living in 12th century Venice would not understand the symbolism of the American frontiersman and log cabin just as not all Americans know the symbolism of the Lion of Saint Mark that appears with a sword and book that is closed or opened. It is imperative

Slang: a type of language that consists of words that are regarded as informal, and is most common in speech, and is typically restricted to a particular context or group of people. Nearly everyday, even without noticing it, most people use slang in their speech on a daily basis. How people speak can be interpreted very differently to listeners depending on their background. Many areas have their own type of speech that usually, only people who come from that background will understand. After reading Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston and making an FJAVE dictionary and examples, it is easy to see that speech holds so much power, especially when the people communicating are born around the same time period or if they live in the same area.

In the article, “The Careless Language of Sexual Violence”, by Roxane Gay, is about sexual violence and how it is usually presented in the media. Throughout the article it seems as if she is trying to inform us about how rape culture is increasing sexual violence. How we should carefully speak about rape. How we should take it seriously.

In the essay “Doubts About Doublespeak”(1993), William Lutz depicts how utilizing doublespeak can damage a society. Lutz begins with providing examples of doublespeak that range from silly to serious, showing how doublespeak can be harmless, but also disguise a truth with a manipulation of words. There are many different types of doublespeak, Lutz breaks it down into four different categories euphemism, jargon, gobbledygook and inflated language. By breaking them down, Lutz shows the audience that they share similarities in which they make something negative sound better than it is. There are more types of doublespeak that can be seen all around us, moreover, as more doublespeak is being created everyday and everywhere it becomes difficult

They often use euphemisms to cloak their intentions, such as referring to their goals as “ethnic cleansing,” “purification,” or “counter-terrorism…” indoctrinate the populace with fear of the victim group. Leaders often claim that “if we don’t kill them, they will kill us.”

Also sometimes I use slang words when speaking with my friends. The slang words I use are usually words I pick up from friends. I use these words when I am speaking so I feel closer to them and l accepted, as I speak like one of them. I would never use slang in front of my parents because of the way I fear they may see me.

Therefore, the accurate understanding of the English idiom does not only involve the phonetic conversion but also involve the western cultural conversion. It requires that the learner know the western culture background well.
