how does weaponized, manipulative language transform societal values for independence and impact personal identities?
hi maddie,the purpose of any manipulation is to convince another person that their previously held beliefs are incorrect. one example of a way to manipulate another person is through the practice of gaslighting. think of it as someone who continually turns down the lights in a room (turning down a gas lamp) but tells another person the light is constant, it's their perception or eyesight that is affected. the purpose of gaslighting is to convince another person that they are losing their sanity. how does this transform societal values? on a large scale, if you can convince a large number of people to change their values then society will inevitably shift in its core beliefs and practices. a positive example of this is the icelandic women's protest in 1975 when every woman in the country went on strike for one day. after this protest, women were given equal wages and equal rights under the law. though this strike was not manipulation but civil rights protest, you can see the impact of change on societal values. think about efforts to take away civil rights for one specific group of people: is the language used as a weapon? is it manipulative? deceptive? how would that impact independence and personal identities? if your civil rights were taken away, say your right to vote because of another person's manipulative argument, would you feel less independent? would you feel as though your voice mattered? would you feel more valued by society or less valued by society?good luck with your homework!jessica
The Effect of French Nationalism on Canadian Society

 Change is an inevitable outcome in society, today will not be the same as tomorrow or yesterday due to some factors that shape our daily activities. Many societies have their own cultures and traditions that they uphold, however sometimes a society can adopt a different culture because it is similar to their beliefs or it has better values than theirs. Additionally, a society has the choice of discarding new cultures if they not conform to their beliefs. A change that occurs in one nation or society can cause ripples of changes across the world. French nationalism is the manifestation of the cultures of the French society. Indeed, the rise of French nationalism, did cause a ripple of change to the Canadian society.

 The many wars between England and France led to the emergence of French nationalism, mostly the war was about France reconquering its lost territories from England. Joan of Arc was an icon of the French nationalism. the French revolution of 1789 led to the emergence of nationalism as the ideals of French nationalism was based from those of the revolution (Dan & Dinwiddy, 1988). Values such as equality, fraternity and equality were the bedrock of the French Revolution and the French nationalism movement hoped to mirror this. The ruler of the time, Napoleon, invaded many other nations which in turn led to the spread of the French nationalism and its ideals.

 The death of Napoleon saw the French nationalism take a drastic turn; it become a puppet for the army so that the army could achieve its political goals. The French nationalism became assertive and extreme in patriotism which was not ideal. Due to this nature as the French people fought against themselves regarding what French nationalism should be about. The battle raged between the conservatives and republican as each side had their own ideas as to what nationalism should be. It came to the point where French nationalism was a profascist extreme movement that caused more harm than good. Since the 19th century the aim of the French nationalism has been to promote national pride of France.

 The question that arises is; what does the rise of French nationalism has to do with Canada? Interestingly, a large section of the Canadian population speaks French; this creates a connection between France and Canada. This population is so large that it has created its own cultural community that has impacted Canada society not only culturally but also politically, economically and socially. The issue in Canada during the French revolution was that the French speaking Canadians were accused of not supporting overseas military as much as the Canadians who spoke English. French Nationalism ensured that French as a language become one of the official languages in Canada.

  Before the French revolution, there was a distinct difference between the French in France and the France who occupied New France in Canada. Fernand Ouellte believe that the rise of the French Nationalism that cleared the difference between French of France and Canada (The Canada Encyclopedia, 2020). There are four types of French-Canadian nationalism according to Leon Dion, a political scientist; this are conservative, liberal, social- democratic and socialist (The Canada Encyclopedia 2020). All these types of nationalism played a role in the society of Canada. Notably it is French nationalism that prevented the French in Canada to be absorbed by Canada which would mean that they would lose their identity.

 The Canadian French Nationalism has been existent for over two hundred years and the chances that it will continue to exist are high due to its nature. The fact that most Canadian speak French as their first’s language is going to cement Canadian French nationalism in Canada.

https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/french-canadian-nationalism depends on what you consider to be a productive conversation. but i see no such thing unless there are clear results.another case like this is yet more bait for the media to relish and exacerbate, and yet more opportunities for the cynics to come out saying it's about race or that nothing will ever change.it doesn't seem productive with the attitudes we display in our national conversation. all the while, another family suffers to the backdrop of societal indifference or name-blaming.it strikes me that no one brings up the most prevailing theme amongst all of these cases: fear, and the permeating insecurity that's deeply rooted in the american psyche.all i see is the continued pattern of fear rearing its ugly face in case after case, be it inadequate training, racial & cultural differences, vendettas, or the proliferation of gun ownership.and here, a foreigner gets caught in the middle of this american phenomenon. and while the details are incredibly vague, i feel it could very well have been simply this woman innocently knocking in the vehicle to get the officers attention; something likely innocuous back in australia, but certainly something most americans wouldn't dare attempt. and she suffered the ultimate price for it.culture and mentality takes a long time to change. and the more we continue to be equal-but-separate, i can't even imagine a productive conversation, let alone a result.i'm sorry, but no matter how much the cry for justice, or even the delivery of such, that alone will not be enough to alter the course of history and our future. hostile Answer:



 Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes, including low self-esteem. Using denial, misdirection, contradiction, and misinformation, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim’s beliefs. Instances can range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents occurred, to belittling the victim’s emotions and feelings, to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. impact : changing c# methods from private to public Religious poisoning. you are being used if youa are putting her needs before your own. lose, surrender. Because it empowers men. Keeps men from being the puppet and asking women for approval on being a man. MGTOW teaches men the dirty little secret about women and how they perpetrate a lie that insists that if you constantly give to women they will respect you... No, that's how you get used.   

  

MGTOW teaches men to think for themselves and nevermind what women think of them because women hate not being able to label a man and control him. thanks to MGTOW we now have a forum where we can join forces and choose to be her slave or be our own man and walk with our head high with pride... Even if that means being alone. i like my chances better than being with a woman who may be here to day and gone the next.   

  

i don't need women. i only need my wits. my pride opens more doors and has also illuminated my inner strength to resist the temptation of the dragon female and her puppet sorcery. please elaborate. because insanity is mostly a buzzword the public use wrongly. who are these geniuses we’re oppressing?
