Introduction to Demonstrative Pronouns in Social Issues
In discussions about environmental justice, people often refer to 'this' problem or 'that' initiative. For example, 'This pollution affects our community,' emphasizes immediacy. Conversely, 'That policy was debated for years,' suggests a distance in time or relevance. Using 'this' or 'that' helps speakers and writers create a sense of connection or detachment with the issue at hand. Understanding the subtle differences can improve clarity and impact in social conversations.
