Sveta_85 [38]

Both Greece and Rome are Mediterranean countries, similar enough latitudinally for both to grow wine and olives. However, their terrains were quite different. The ancient Greek city-states were separated from each other by hilly countryside and all were near the water.

Both Greek and roman residents practiced polytheist religion. The Greeks focused on life on earth and believed man would be judged on earth and his deeds both good and bad would follow him into afterlife while the Romans believed that one's actions if proper and many would make one god in heaven.

Describe the relationship between language and thinking by discussing linguistic determinism. In your response, focus on Benjami
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

As we have experiences, both negative and positive, they impact the formation of our thoughts. This in turn impacts our use of language. If we have negative experiences, we will form more negative uses of our language. Dr. Benjamin Whorf stated that our language then determines the type of person we will become as we have a multitude of experiences. And depending on the type of language we learn growing up, we will see an impact on our development. German, for example, is a very rough and cruel language. Which is why the Germans have instigated two world wars. Historians have criticized Whorf's theory because of the prejudice it showed towards certain cultures.
