Introduction

People have always been fascinated about how language affects their thoughts or even the process of thinking. Considering this thought, is it then right to say that people from different language groups speak differently? This paper’s thesis statement argues that language simply serves as a medium of communication and is therefore only a means that can be used to interpret how unique and different people and groups of people are from each other.

INTRODUCTION

Adequate comprehension of the composition of the mind is somewhat challenging from the literal perspective. Precisely, it is difficult to explain how the consciousness occurs from a scientific perspective due to the presence of the complexities of the human cognition. David Chalmers (1995) proposes that there are many “easy” problems of consciousness, but one genuinely “hard” problem, namely what philosophers call “qualia”, or phenomenal experience. He argues that the reductive physical, mechanical and functional explanations made by cognitive science are only adequate to explain the easy problems, and that the hard problem requires explanations different not just in difficulty, ...
