Doubletalk, doublethink: language experience of “talks”

This is an individual paper. The instructor wants to learn about your experience of
leadership/organizational doubletalk, doublethink, and other “talks” you have personally encountered in
your adult, professional, and other lives that changed you and your outlook on the world. Have you
experienced the use of language that “argued for” something, while in fact undermining the very issue
for which the speaker appeared to have been building the case? The instructor is curious if you can
easily observe and identify doubletalk and doublethink? Please be honest and creative, and feel free to
talk about other ideas and issues about which you care and think, illuminating the dichotomies of the
language you have seen, felt, and experienced.
