Introduction to Quantifiers and Social Issues

In many social issues, language plays a critical role in shaping perceptions and influencing opinions. Quantifiers such as 'some,' 'many,' 'few,' 'all,' and 'none' can significantly affect the tone and message of discussions.

Understanding how these determiners are used allows us to better analyze media reports, speeches, and debates on social topics.
