✨ Ever wondered how the word 'racism' made its way into the dictionary? Let's take a fascinating journey through time! 🔍 Back in the late 1930s, the term 'racism' caught the attention of lexicographers at Merriam-Webster. It was a time when racial tensions were escalating, especially in Nazi Germany. The word primarily referred to the Nazi assumption of racial superiority and anti-Semitism. 😮 But as the years passed and racial injustices became more apparent in America, the definition evolved. 💬 The post-war era brought awareness to discrimination against Black people and marginalized groups. Merriam-Webster recognized the need to broaden the definition, acknowledging the assumption of racial superiority and discrimination against other races. 👥 Fast forward to recent times, when a young Black activist named Kennedy Mitchum contacted Merriam-Webster with concerns about their definition of 'racism.' She felt it didn't capture the systemic nature of racial oppression. 🤔 The dictionary's response? A revision that better highlights the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another — specifically, white supremacy. The entry now includes illuminating quotations from influential writers and activists. 📝 This fascinating linguistic journey reminds us that definitions are not set in stone. Language evolves alongside our understanding of social issues. It's a powerful example of how words reflect and shape our changing world. 🌍 Stay tuned and stay curious for more fun facts from us! 🌈 📚 Source: https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/09/how-racism-made-its-way-into-dictionary-merriam-webster/615334/ #CognitiveScience #StudentJournal #ConceptOfRace #Racism #RacismInTheDictionary #LanguageEvolution

📢 Attention to all Cognitive Enthusiasts! We're diving deep into the construction, incorporation, and maintenance of racism in this thought-provoking article! 👀 This article takes us on a journey through history, exploring the origins and transformation of the concept of race over the past 400 years. It delves into how racial beliefs developed as a result of enslavement, colonialism, and the rise of Social Darwinism. 🌍 💡 The article also dives into the personal experiences of Frantz Fanon, who vividly portrays his encounters with racism in his groundbreaking book "Black Skin, White Masks." Through Fanon's account, we gain insight into the profound impact of racial stereotypes and the confrontations faced by black individuals when confronted with the white gaze. 🎭 A key question that arises in this article is whether the responsibility to fight against racism lies solely with Black individuals or if it should be a shared effort involving everyone. 🤔 The author argues that racism still persists in our societies, manifesting through structural racism and discriminatory practices. They emphasize the urgent need to rectify social injustices and acknowledge the erasure of Black and Indigenous history. 👥 ⏳ Overall, this article explores the historical, social, and subjective processes related to racism and the ongoing struggle against it. It encourages us all to reflect on our role in dismantling racism and standing up for equality and justice. Stay tuned and stay curious for more eye-opening publications! ✊👁‍🗨 https://s.gwdg.de/9WtFbl #CognitiveScience #StudentJournal #ConceptOfRace #Racism #RacismAwareness #HistoricalTransformation #FrantzFanon #Equality #SocialJustice #osnabrückUniversity

Did you realise that the word "cancer" has a fascinating dual identity, representing both a medical condition and a zodiac sign? Interestingly, both usages have roots in ancient history, albeit with different origins and symbolic interpretations. 🌐 The term "cancer" originated from the Latin word "cancer," which means "crab". 🦀 In ancient Greece and Rome, the crab was associated with the medical condition now known as cancer due to the way cancerous tumors sometimes resemble the shape of a crab. The Greek physician Hippocrates (often referred to as the "father of medicine") coined the term "karkinos" to describe tumors, drawing a parallel between the crab's hard shell and the tough, invasive nature of cancer cells. 💢💉 On the other hand, the zodiac sign Cancer derives its name from the Latin word "cancer" as well. In astrology, the zodiac signs are based on the twelve constellations along the ecliptic, the path the sun appears to take across the sky throughout the year. The constellation associated with the zodiac sign Cancer resembles a crab, and its name was adopted to represent the fourth astrological sign. ♋️ While the word "cancer" unites these seemingly unrelated concepts, it is fascinating to see how language and symbolism have intertwined over centuries. So, the next time you hear the word "cancer," whether in a medical or astrological context, remember its historical roots it holds. It's a reminder of the intricate connections between language, science, and ancient beliefs, spanning different facets of human culture throughout the ages. 🌍 Stay tuned and stay curious for more fun facts from us. 🌟 📚 Source: Mukherjee, S.
