The Book
Author Dana Pope skillfully explores three processes that are used to maneuver and shape our understanding, in her book Who’s Changing the Meaning:
- Changing the definitions of words: One of the tactics employed by those who seek to deceive people is the alteration of word definitions. This process involves subtly shifting the meanings of words over time, without the public’s awareness. By changing the definitions, they can influence our perceptions and beliefs, leading to a profound impact on our actions and thoughts.
- Interpreting writings from long ago: Another method explored is the interpretation of historical writings using contemporary definitions. By applying present-day meanings to texts written in the past, individuals can manipulate the original intent and messages conveyed by the authors. This process allows for the distortion of ideas and concepts, shaping our understanding of history to fit certain narratives or ideologies.
- Intentionally leaving out information: This strategy is the deliberate omission of certain information. By selectively choosing what to include or exclude, manipulators can control the narrative and guide our perceptions. Leaving out crucial details can lead to a skewed understanding of events, influencing our perspectives and decision-making.
Who’s Changing the Meaning? sheds light on these three methods, offering readers a critical lens to recognize and navigate the subtle ways meanings are altered. By staying informed, readers can empower themselves to resist manipulation and better understand the implications of these tactics.
How are they changing the definitions of words?
- Discrediting words like Truth to create new ways to lie so they appear to be telling the truth.
- Switching words like Right and Wrong to Appropriate and Inappropriate to eliminate right and wrong altogether.
- Creating concepts like Relativism to do away with truth and reality.
Reinterpreted Past Writings
- Important national documents like The Declaration of Independence.
- Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
- Speeches from long ago like Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream…” speech.
How does leaving out information affect us?
Information negligence is purposely leaving out facts in order to change the knowledge and opinions of people. Without all the facts, people make decisions and form beliefs based on the information they receive. The effect is:
- Chaos in our society and in the outcome of court cases.
- Condition people to believe things they disagree with.
- Brainwashed to accept the ideologies of those creating the changed definitions.
