Five years from now when I look back at old notes from my first introductory psychology course, I think I'll remember when we discussed and learned about language and thought processes. I loved the readings about the way we interpret things and how language is psychologically universal. Although millions of languages exist across the world, I found it amazing how we can all accept the the six, and sometimes seven, different facial expressions without communicating a single word. Our thought processes to understanding different cultures and social norms fascinated me. As an individual who loves learning about the world, the psychology behind language will always be developing and in constant interpretation.
I really like this post. I'm an international student from China and have been immersed in the crosscutural communication on daily basis for more than three years, I did find how magical the concept of thinking and laugagr are linked and how common the facial expressions are in another world that I was never exposed to in early years. Taking advantage of this concept to do further explorations, I believe it is a good way to bridge the communication better in this flattening world.
