Thursday 28th January

Naming is a very useful tool which is in use from a long time ago. It is used to diminish others.
Naming is diminishment.

Newspapers often use naming to frighten. Eg describing migrants as a swarm.
Or describing the course of events as a 'refugee crisis'. This is also name calling but the newspapers do so to titillate the audience.

Economic migrant- someone who is moving out of their country to find a better life (not necessarily because their country is dangerous.)

Rule 1 for a politician- 1. get elected
                                     2. stay elected

Most politicians are in it for glory and to get elected.
