CNX 177 - Language & the 21st Century

Description
In this course, we will examine how developments of the 21st century are affecting human language, in particular in terms of political correctness, freedom of speech, technology, and the internet. We will read from the perspectives of linguists, psychologists, and civil rights activists, among others. Through close reading of these diverse perspectives, we will develop an understanding of how academic arguments are crafted and practice creating our own arguments in writing and in speech.
