The Braggart: She loves to tell you about her latest purchases, how much money she makes, what kind of car she d...

It also makes me think about our tendency to use combat imagery for difficult social issues: the War on Terror, the Battle for Human Rights, the ubiquitous “we won the battle but lost the war” – shorthand for a Pyrrhic victory in everything from natural disasters to office politics. Language shapes the way we think, the concepts we discuss and...
