Language and Cultural DNA “America's system of education was built upon a strong cultural bias toward the left hemisphere of the brain…” Professor Ken Robinson, The 21st Century Learning Initiative “ We should consider changing our thinking process in the field of science by trying to reason in English.” Susumu Tonegawa of Japan, Winner of the 1987 Nobel Prize in Medicine, MIT professor
Language and Cultural DNA Dr. Tonegawa wasn't saying that English is better than Japanese. He was saying that: • English is better than Japanese for the purposes of scientific research • English has a particular ideological basis that Japanese does not. • We call that ideological basis "the scientific outlook.” • However, the scientific outlook, and English, is very left brain oriented.
Language and Cultural DNA • To reason in Japanese is not the same thing as to reason in English or Italian or Spanish • To put it simply, language has an ideological agenda that is likely to be hidden from view • We incorrectly believe it to be a direct, unedited, unbiased expression of how the world really is. But Englishand all languages are biased!
