Author Jem Berkes explains different perspectives of George Orwell's novel 1984. He mostly states that Orwell is worried on the power of speech and tries to make the reader conscious and how they can be manipulated without even noticing.
In Orwell's distopia, which is set in a supposely near future he from Orwell, he states the and emphatizes the great power of rhetoric and how it is used to politically manipulate people. This novel is not far from truth. It is widely known that worlds greatest orators use rhetoric to emphatize and convince people on following their same ideals.
In the article, Berkes mentions that language shape peoples' minds and beliefs to the point where reality can be easily manipulated. I think all of this is easily related to politics and world order. Language is used to conceal truth and the interests of just a few.
After reading this, I can agree on languages power in both right and wrong ways, Nevertheless, languages can be seen in programming as a tool to solve different problems and with different perspectives or paradigms. There is not one that is ing and better than any other in all ways, that's what makes programming fun and infinite. There is never one single way to do something and finding unique, faster and reliable ways to solve problems is what makes new programming languages being developed.
