Languages.
Some things in life I appear to take for granted, such as when thinking about ideas that have the most impact on society. My first thought was of electric power, cars and planes. Then it came to me, why did I never think of language? Language is so significant to individuals and to society, it incorporates the ability to communicate ideas and feelings, it can use the power of group ideas and make a record for future generations.
Language is an important skill and can take many years to expertly master. Introduced to people most often first as babies and then later as a student to develop, it is a contributor to how we overtly show our thoughts and give an impression of who we are. Flexibility and understanding in the nuances of words impart depth and complexities of personality. Being a great orator can move popular feeling and make history. Of course there are exceptions, blunders in use of grammar and the meaning behind phrases, significantly associated with people in positions of authority or power can only highlight the importance of a good language education.
Common use of language is constantly changing with words and phrases almost continuously dropped from current use and being replaced with more popular on-trend expressions. Reflective of the time, language can be a good indicator of favoured choice in public habits and culture. That is why some languages die out as they become superseded by new and evolving popular interests.
When thoughts focus on dialects, dialogue and diction, you might ask when was the first language created? It could well be that in the time of the Neanderthal certain sounds denoted a significance and that was the contributing factor to the basis of their early formative language. It is true that the overall brain size of the Neanderthal was considerably larger than that of modern man, and this might pose the question of how it impacted on the progression and development of language. The fact that the Neanderthal did not survive modern man is irrespective of language, as this skill and inherent knowledge could have been passed on to further generations something similar to the Neanderthal DNA.
On a more personal theme, I recollect as a child the feeling of understanding speech although I lacked the ability to actually talk. It could be I am transferring the feelings of speech back to my memories or a more interesting phenomenon could be a genetic transfer of knowledge something similar to automatic behaviour akin to that of birds to building nests or baby turtles, the bale of hatchlings, knowing which direction to take for their first dip into the sea.
When it comes to language between different species, for instance a person and a dog, I am sure that all pet owners are convinced of a two-way communication. This belief can exist even though normally the dog can not talk audibly and can communicate by reaction.
The progression of civilisation I believe is interlinked with language, as the ability to express ideas would be greatly hampered without a formal recognised basis of word and written translation of thoughts. Language is integral and important to individuals and to how this fits in with community and society. I think in words although it is triggered by feelings and inspiration.
