Answer #1

The theory of Whorf says that people personality and concepts are influenced by language. It determines the thinking of a person. It also marks the difference between two persons.

As for example, when a person says the fault and crime committed by a black he may criticize him. It becomes obvious that he bears racial prejudices. The same fact can be expressed by others without harshness and it is a common view. It just shows how it happened and what he should do. It indicates that he does not have any prejudices.
