Plastic Words
Join Wes Avram and Allen Hilton as they discuss the concept of Plastic Words. Those with power regularly use words to manipulate us by twisting meanings to fit agendas or evoke reactions. Plastic words are words that have been loosened from historic meanings and come to have little to no meaning at all, except the feelings they evoke. They have quietly seeped into our language. Recent use of words like socialism, fascism, or even freedom might be examples. Join us to explore how we get past plastic language to speak genuinely to one another!
