Language has a grammar for communication. In other words, there is a form, and communication is only possible when society agrees on that form. Therefore, in communication, form is often more important than content. Different fields in society use different grammars and preferred language styles. For example, there are separate grammars and vocabularies used in law, and the same goes for marketing. This is especially common in advertising and public relations, where the form is usually more important than the content. In a world where focusing only on the form can seem showy, and emphasizing only the content can cause communication problems. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Traffic direction is influenced by history and traditions. What would occur if a country suddenly changed its travel direction? The costs of replacing road signs would be just the start; the nation would also need to revise traffic laws and control systems, leading to a higher frequency of accidents. Such a major change hasn’t occurred in any country since its inception. Globally, 165 countries have adopted right-hand drive (RHD), while 75 have implemented left-hand drive (LHD). Currently, 66% of the world’s population drives on the right, and 72% of all roads are right-sided. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A truck carrying a cow was overturned in an accident on the highway. The cow stuck in the car was on its way to the slaughterhouse. Should you rescue the cow? Is the rescue good or evil? Is the good you are doing good? If the purpose is good, what does it matter? No, what about the opposite? - Joseph’s “just my confusion”
