Out-of-state freshman to suspect that all other students’ hometowns are ‘just outside of Milwaukee’

Reform the Dictionary: mitigating disaster by language alteration

Ideas are powerful.  So powerful, in fact, that they have been the cause of countless ideological movements across the globe.  From the rise of fascism in Germany and communism in Russia in the early 20th century, to rise of the alt-right led by figures like Breitbart’s Steve Bannon right here on Main Street in the United States.  These movements, as evidenced by both the recent memories of the events in Charlottesville and the distant ones of what our forefathers invaded Europe to stop, can have life-altering consequences. Analyzing the effects that ideas — something that cannot even be seen nor physically touched — can have on society begs the question: where do ideas come from?  The answer is simpler than one may think; ideas stem from thoughts, and thoughts from words.  Words are just the invention of several cultures across the globe over time.  Used in various combinations, they form hundreds of languages for humans to not only interact with one another, but with themselves.
