Language as our Sole Identity

My group was the Planet of the Apes group. The group consisted of eight of us focusing and analyzing Planet of the Apes. At first there were no specific roles in the project involved we just each took what took out of the movie and incorporated our views and commentary as suggestions. When then formed those suggestions into an awesome power point presentation, my part in the group was not only to help with the suggestions that went towards the power point presentation, but to also focus (as I diligently did) on the evolution of man and language and discourse of it all. And what I discovered in doing this project and reading the book and through watching the film is that through all the advances in technology and through the advances of mankind in general, we leave ourselves open to our own destruction by putting all our identity not to our accomplishments but to our language and vocal chords. In our language lies the highest form of intelligence, as I realized when this topic was brought to the class. In the group I mediated I found that this was not only found in the book and film, but also in the view of the people today. We see the way we speak as one the many human aspects that makes us superior others, even other human beings, as language barriers is just one the barriers that we put on each other to create an unending power struggle amongst ourselves. Leaving technological advances as well as any other advances towards evolution somewhat pointless as our language is the surviving factor that leads to the revolutions and scientific experiments and with the loss of language we go back in time to animalistic past and we become the enslaved.
