michael rosen - word of mouth documentary

Notes :
  • Social media relies on imperative sentences so drops the auxiliaries
  • obscuring the individuality of people using the inclusive "we"
  • people rely on sincerity on social media, should start to rely on the accuracy of what they are actually saying
  • language is a tool for disguising thoughts
  • Language relies on fantasy
  • no agreed standard of public discourse, allows people to express their own opinions
  • people argue with the representation that they created from what someone else has said
  • rhetoric used by female prime ministers eliminates their genders
  • memes are created unconsciously that get spread around
  • hard to differentiate the evaluative and the descriptive eg salty
  • data is very misleading, data is only info when people can transform it from the raw form
