CHAPTER 5
1. Who is Syme? What is his job? How is his job connected with our discussions of knowledge and power?
2. Reflections on the “Taboo” activity:
- What was it like not being able to communicate your thoughts as clearly as you would have liked?
- What would life be like if the words listed as “taboo” actually didn’t exist any more?
- How are some people in our society actually given less language to work with? Who are they and how does this affect their lives?
3. Select three quotations from Chapter 5 that would be good evidence for proving how language is related to power. (Be sure to use the ten point tracking system.)
