Language is everything from the word "language" to a symbol as familiar as a Christian cross.
or more formally (according to theoryofknowledge.net):
"Language is generally where we begin when we try to explain a concept. But it’s hard to know the exact boundaries of the term ‘language’. Is it written, oral, or all forms of communication? Love, for example, is sometimes described as the universal language; music has been described similarly.

There is no reality for us without language.
Animals also use language. And it goes far beyond the bark of a dog or a meow of a cat. A very basic, simple "language" tells a fly to escape when it sees a fly swatter approaching to smash it. ]]> 2018-11-18 14:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tymon_frelik/bub3udhl2l6k/wish/305660241 tymon_frelik https://padlet.com/tymon_frelik/bub3udhl2l6k/wish/305663026 Language is the most basic way of knowing, so it is crucial to all areas of knowledge:
- The Arts (literature, music, visual arts etc.)
- Ethics (moral principles can be formed only on the basis of language)
- The Human Sciences (concepts in sciences such as economics, philosophy or media studies rely on language to be as accurate as possible)
- Indigenous Knowledge Systems (language is used to pass on knowledge from generation to generation)
- Mathematics (the language of mathematics)
- The Natural Sciences (nomenclature used to describe and explain natural processes and phenomena)
- Religious Knowledge Systems (conveying basic principles of a religion, although "the religious experience" is supposed to be free from language or "beyond" language)

It argues that women are better at 'reading' (interpreting) emotions through facial expressions. However, one could argue that men are better at some (other) intuitions than women. Neuroscience would claim that these differences originate from the different wiring of men's and women's brains, as explored by this article from The Guardian. This would suggest that intuition is rooted in nature (and therefore perhaps closer to 'instinct'?).]]> 2018-11-18 17:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tymon_frelik/bub3udhl2l6k/wish/305680019 wasz_karolina https://padlet.com/tymon_frelik/bub3udhl2l6k/wish/305680503 Intuition is effortless in the moment, but it relies on previous experience. It can be thought of as insights provided by the subconscious mind.
