Language

Which form of language; written, spoken, or body language; would be most effective to convince someone that the world is round?  Explain.

I think that the best form of language to convince someone that the earth is round would be spoken language.  I believe that spoken language is the best form of language because you can support your idea with many facts and it’s so much easier to do then the other two forms.  One pro for spoken language is that it’s so much easier to say it then write and form it with your hands or body.  Another one is that you can show how you feel (show emotion in your voice) about it verbally and make it come across as a fact.  You can use so many words to support the idea of the roundness of the earth and you have endless possibility of words choice to choose from.  You can’t use your hands and write it out is the cons for spoken language.

Written and body language don’t have the ability to allow you to express your thought thoroughly because it’s so much harder to put your heart out on paper and in body language then to express it verbally with emotions.  So that’s why spoken language is the best way to convince someone that the earth is round.
