Why do you speak the way you speak? Does your voice define your identity? In this video we explore how language shapes the way the world perceives us and the invisible power of linguistic bias. From Pierre Bourdieu's theory of linguistic capital to the impact of Zygmunt Bauman's liquid modernity, we look at how accents and speech can open or close doors in society.
🔍 Did you know that the way you speak can determine your job opportunities? People with accents considered "different" are perceived as less intelligent or trustworthy, even if they say exactly the same thing. Philosophers such as Michel Foucault, Frantz Fanon and Judith Butler help us understand that language is not just communication, but a battleground for power.
🌍 Language is also resistance. In the past, colonialism tried to erase native languages, and in the digital age, algorithms are redefining which voices are amplified or silenced. Are we evolving towards greater inclusion or simply creating new forms of discrimination?
✍️ Comment: Have you ever changed the way you speak to fit in? Do you think your accent has affected the way others perceive you?
