The Gray Area of Words

Published: Aug. 30, 2021, 6 a.m.

The topic of today is language. How do we use words? How are they used in the public? How are they used by politicians? We see words like "justice" thrown around every day. But what does it mean? How is it used? Now I'm not going to go into definitions and long-term philosophical debates. The point of this is to say are we using these words cheaply? If "justice" is different for everyone and has no objective meaning, then it's a meaningless term. When we use words and we don't know what they mean, we're lying to ourselves and we're lying to everyone around us.
