Reducing violence through more positive vocabulary in children

Filed under: Ideas — Tags: , — Roy Daya @ 04:51

There are theories that people think about things that they can represent with their vocabulary. The hypothesis is that we do not think about things we have no words for.

My idea is to influence behavior by introducing many more positive words than usually adopted by children in a regular family and school environment.

I hope that less words for violence and criminal acts and more for kindness and positive outlook on life will result in more positive thoughts more often and ultimately less violence and more benevolence.
