How language affects our thoughts
Let us begin with a scenario. You are standing next to a six-year-old boy in Pormpuraaw, an isolated Aboriginal community in Australia. When you ask him to point north, he points precisely and without hesitation. Your compass says he’s right. You then ask the same question to a group of your teachers. Not all of them know the answer and the ones who think they do end up pointing in several different directions before eventually reaching a state of confusion.
