Did you know that the way people use language reflects their culture? For example, in Japanese, there are different levels of politeness depending on whom you're speaking to, while in English, we mostly use 'please' and 'thank you' for politeness. Studies in linguistics show that language shapes the way we think and interact with others. A famous example is the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which suggests that the structure of a language influences a speaker’s worldview. What do you think? Have you noticed how your language reflects your culture?
