Therefore, Postman has given us seven key elements of critical thinking to help us understand the English language and avoid the manipulation of language: definition, questions, simplicity of words, metaphors, reification, style and tone, and the non-neutrality of media. Postman's first principle is that a definition is only a means of helping us achieve our goals. Definitions

The Importance of Language in Black Boy         Richard Wright's novel Black Boy is not only a story about one man's struggle to find freedom and intellectual happiness, it is a story about his discovery of language's inherent strengths and weaknesses.

(1982) conducted a study using fourth-grade students from low socioeconomic status to determine the outcome of using robust vocabulary instruction compared with regular reading and language arts activities (as cited in Lovelace, 2009, p 169).

Linguistic determinism states "that all human thoughts and actions are bound by the restraints of language"( Ask a Linguist FAQ, 2015). In other words Sapir and Whorf argue that language determines how we think, and how we view our world. This version received more criticism than the much 'lighter" version of the same theory known as "linguistic relativism". This version explains that our language affects our thought to some degree. Lara Boroditsky , a proponent of the linguistic determinism version

proposed that language influences or determines the way in which an individual thinks (Whorfian Hypothesis). Subsequently, Miller and McNeil (1969) distinguished three versions of this hypothesis, simply ladled “strong”, “weak” and “very weak”. The “strong” hypothesis emphasizes the role of language when creating cognition, essentially language determines thought. The “weak” states that language influences memory perception. Finally, the “very weak" hypothesis states that language influences memory

command of the language is “indispensable” in the obtainment of in-depth information, Boas admits that the aim, although ideal is, “entirely beyond our reach.” Whorf acknowledges the difficulty of stepping away from his native language in order to scrutinize a foreign tongue objectively, but insists it is essential to do so. Even if the language is learned, it can be difficult to mentally remove oneself from his/her language’s “wirings”, in other words, not in terms of one’s own language.
