Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language

In the article, Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language by Newman P. Birk and Genevieve B. Birk talks about the principle of selection one has in expressing such words and the facts that we observe that one has to remind themselves about. According to Birk and Birk, the process of principle selection is to obtain knowledge. However, the selection and slanting process is getting the knowledge that one has and putting it into his or her own words. There are three different sections in slanting, favorite slanting, balancing slanting and finally, unfavorable slanting. All of these different sections are used for emphasis in slanting. It gives the audience a different impression even though the story and the facts are the same; it is just the way one chooses their words. Lastly, slanting by using charged words makes different impressions. Slanting charged words and language are similar in some ways though with charged language it includes emotions behind it. Charge language may cause confusion but Birk and Birk state that one should carry their lives with charged language in order to communicate knowledge.
