[THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE] Blog #5: Language of Beings

"To what degree might different languages shape their speakers different concepts of themselves and the world? What are the implication of such differences for knowledge?"

Some studies have proved that Bilinguals and Multilinguals have a different brain than their Monolingual counterparts. This can also alter the way we see our world. Language is used to communicate out thoughts and feelings to one another.

Our view of the world is shaped with the help of the people around us. This molds our identity and it solidifies over time. But some of these identities stick with us since birth and (will probably) not be changed throughout the course of our lives. One of these identities is our names. We get our names from our parents who are influenced by their surroundings. Names are unique depending on where you come from.   My full name is Azim Masrizki Baruno.  In Indonesia, the majority of the population consists of Muslims.
