It is evident that we all communicate with language, yet as an English major, language structures my every thought, and how I articulate those thoughts. The language that I use is often critical and analytical, in order to gain extensive knowledge and perspective on whatever it is being communicated. The language I use allows there to be complexity and a variety of lenses, which to me is very important in communication, for there is often no right or wrong answer, but there is much to be critical of and to analyze.
