1. Culture shapes society by using words. We decide what a word is and isn't. We are told not to use certain words, but yet we are told to be creative and have an open mind. Creating new words is being creative. Yet in society, we are not supposed to create new words, we are not supposed to use slang, they want us to use proper English, yet words have been evolving over time. It is simply creative ways to communicate with one another.
2. I liked this video too, I liked how it shows how society is so against new words, yet they expect kids to be creative.

1. In this video it shows how words can influence reality, the status people hold influences society. The house of Representatives did not believe someone with such significance should hold the title "president"  yet over time, it was the reality of his power that changed the word into something much greater then it was to begin with. At the end of the video he says,  "reality changes words, far more than words could ever change reality"
- I enjoyed the video, it made me realize the power a certain status can have and how things can change over time.

I liked the video because there was a lot of truth to almost everything she said, and she was being humorous about it too which made it more enjoyable. But it shows that words can be a powerful thing and sometimes we are restricted to make up more of them which is kind of stupid

I liked this video because the girl was really funny, had a lot of good ideas a points, and the audience were very into and felt almost connected to it. In this video it shows how it is good for cultures to make up enough , it makes it easier for other cultures to communicate with each other as well as if they do not want others to know what they are saying they can speak their language

# data[].attributes.body
This video is all about how words can have power and that they don't necessarily start in meaning the way they end. His example of president as it was started to be humble is now used as word associated with power. I liked this video because he basically rooted a word to show it in a new light.

# data[].attributes.body
The video showed how culture determines the words and while we may think dictionaries are the holy grail of language but in truth they outdate and eventually become nearly useless because language changes with the cultural change. It showed how you can never say a word is not real because it is slang because slang becomes "real" words. I liked this video because it was different view and you questioning things you had not thought of before.

1. This video shows how society shapes our culture through the different meanings for words in different places. A snollygoster is a lying politician.
2. This video was okay, I'm not much of a history politics person.

Culture shapes our society in this video because Erin explains that everybody should make up new words to show the uniqueness of that word. If everyone in the world would come up with a different word, we'd have billions of unique words no one has ever used before. This video was interesting because she showed the different words and types of words people use today on an every day basis.

It talks about proper writing vs. proper speech and its effect on text messaging. We have learned that we tend to text how we talk, which is casual and loose. Rather than proper and correct like how we are supposed to write.

1. Cultures shape our society in this video because in my mind its true people so much slang and miss spelling and all of the sort in texting and people are on their phone 24/7 people dont talk the way they text as he say but people can start it if continues.
2. My thoughts are that it is true people lack there grammar and and dont care about their spelling when they text an just go with it.

This video shows that though texting has negative connotations, it actually creates a whole new culture centered around language/writing, which is a positive thing. I think it's surprising that this is the first time I've seen texting discussed in a positive light that I agree with.
Go ahead, make up new words talks about how there are two kinds of grammar, and words should not be decided to be bad or good because of grammar, because it hinders creativity. She talks about how new words should always be made, and about how new words are good and creative, and that they affect our culture and the idea that grammar should hinder language.

# data[].attributes.body
This video talks about how texting as changed our culture so much. It is seen as a negative and takes away form our language and writing skills. But in the video the speaker explains that it is not a negative, but a positive. That there is seemingly an entire new language of texting. I liked the video.

A snollygoster is a dishonest politician. This video is great because of the election currently. There is a lot of lies going around to make them seem better or worse than they are. This video is really informative and I had no clue what a snollygoster was until this video.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows that society in a way kind of comes together to make up the  words or slang we use. We know the social norms in society but we still continue to make up our own things. This video was okay, she was kind of funny but listening to someone talk about words is a little boring.

Making new words should be just as prevalent in society as making music. You should be encouraged to create words no matter how weird they are. This video is trying to push people into creating new words, its trying to push for a more creative society.

Our society is shaped by language because it helps us communicate and relate to one another. Language is complex and can show our emotions, express logical thought, it can show what is going on in our heads, and our intentions.  I liked this video but at times it was a little hard to follow.

1. This video shows culture shaping society by explaining what a snollygoster actually is. It is a dishonest politician.

Our society is becoming shaped around the election.

This video is saying that culture shapes our society by defining a snollygoster. Which is a dishonest politician. Also talks about our government and congress, it works because we have the presidential election going on right now. That even if you get a title like President, you have to earn the respect. I like the video because he is explaining that our government is not always telling the truth, and that we are always waiting for government.

Liam Hanson - What's a snollygoster? A short lesson in political speach

# data[].attributes.body
An interesting lesson in history to be sure. I'd highly recommend it to all Americans, seeing as its mostly about us and politics. The lesson goes on to say that in many cases words are used to describe things in a certain way, but the word itself changes based on what it's describing. A good example would be the word Nimrod. Nimrod originally referred to a great biblical hunter but is now synonymous with words like "idiot." The reason for this is that Bugs Bunny calls Elmer Fudd a Nimrod on occasion sarcastically, and the use of the word changed to match Fudd's modest intelligence.

Erin McKean describes how words are formed in languages -- specifically English -- and why making new words is beneficial. The opening of the TED Talk reminds me a lot of the novel Frindle, in which a fifth grader invents the titular word as a synonym to pen as a means of messing with his teacher. They share a lot of the same ideas. Words only mean what they mean because we say they do.
