How You Say It: Why You Talk the Way You Do-And What It Says About You (USED)

Description: Product Description : How You Say It: Why You Talk the Way You Do-And What It Says About You From one of the most brilliant young psychologists of her generation Paul Bloom a groundbreaking examination of how speech causes some of our deepest social dividesand how it can help us overcome themWe gravitate toward people like us its human nature Race class and gender shape our social identities and thus who we perceive as like us or not like us But one overlooked factor can be even more powerful the way we speak As the pioneering psychologist Katherine Kinzler reveals in How You Say It the way we talk is central to our social identity because our speech largely reflects the voices we heard as children We can change how we speak to some extent whether by codeswitching between dialects or learning a new language over time your speech even changes to reflect your evolving social identity and aspirations But for the most part we are forever marked by our native tongueand are hardwired to prejudge others by theirs often with serious consequences Your accent alone can determine the economic opportunity or discrimination you encounter in life making speech one of the most urgent socialjustice issues of our day Our linguistic differences present challenges Kinzler shows but they also can be a force for good Humans can benefit from being exposed to multiple languages a paradox that should inspire us to master this ancient source of tribalism and rethink the role that speech plays in our society( it is an used product )
