In this episode, I talk about Terministic Screens and how language and word choice tell us about how people perceive and make sense of the world.
Examples given include: illegal alien vs undocumented immigrant, good people vs thugs, and riots vs protests/rebellions. (I explain how the media, as well as individuals, use language to either aid or critisize certain "groups" of people.
The examples used serve as a great way to explain how terministic screens tell us about our personal standpoints, as well as the standpoints of others. Most importantly, these screens also help us understand and dissect the language that is currently being used in the media to describe the recent protests!
