Why can't people use direct language?

By jujupage1 -
Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post,

Today I am going to be talking about direct language. Now, I don't mean overly direct to the point when everything you say is literal but I just mean say it how it is. For example, today I was learning about euthanasia in RE. Now, instead of saying euthanasia is when someone wants to die, the RE teacher said that it's when someone wants to end their life. I really do not understand why people are so frightened to say die when surely in a case like euthanasia, that's what the person wants and feels like. Let's take another example. Soldiers from the first world war used to come back with a mental disease called shell shock. This was and is due to the intensity of the fighting and the war in general. What I don't understand is why people now call it posttraumatic stress disorder (PSD). That phrase does not tell people what it's really like to be in that mental state. So why do we use indirect language?

Comment down below your answer and wether or not you agree.

See you next time,

Bye

Is trophy hunting an acceptable thing to do?- Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, A couple weeks ago, I watched a documentary by Louis Theroux which was about trophy hunting in Africa. Louis Theroux is renowned for making documentaries on controversial topics. He is excellent at filming these documentaries without imposing too much of his own opinion on the subject. If you have time to watch this, I really recommend you do because some of the things I saw were shocking and I was stunned that people were not ashamed by their actions. This is what I'm going to talk about today but if you want to watch the documentary, I'll leave the link below. It's truly worth the watch. The first place that Louis visited was a house owned by hunters from Ohio. Unable to hunt anything considered to be interesting in their own country, they went to South Africa to hunt there. They hunt things from wild boar to zebras. One lady that they interviewed was cautious at first to do the hunting, but once she managed to ki...

A little bit of a rant: Another bump in the road - Lifestyle Monday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Last week started off great but ended on a bit of a downer. When has this not been a general pattern throughout 2020? 😂 I laugh and cry at the same time but on Wednesday, I definitely cried.  I got upset because that morning I went to school as usual and I had double history which was great but, as soon as I got into the studio for dance, I knew something wasn't right because there weren't as many students there as before. It was as though at least half of the studio was gone. We then proceeded to have a normal lesson anyway and most of us just continued as usual, even though it was weird because most of us were not there. Now, looking back on it, I think my teacher was just biding his time and was trying to keep us all calm but during the first part of the lesson, one of the girls in my class was getting tested for Covid-19. My teacher got us to do a meditation exercise to prepare us for our contemporary class, so we were...
