This was just a short video on how language is really just how you perceive things. It is made up and people follow it so that we can make sense of things and categorize. I chose this because I think perception is really interesting. It is related to language because it explains how language is just what we say it is. I thought that it was interesting how he said that an apple is only called an apple because we say it is. There aren't any reasons for some words other than we wanted to name something.I agree because language is really abstract. I definitely want to learn more because I want to know why language was created the way it is now. My topic affects the world because everyone around the world uses language and all of them are just what somebody decided to make up and use to communicate.

That is definietly a different take on it. I guess I never looked at it like that, but it is true, somebody may have just made these words up and now we use them to communicate.
