Language helps you perceive the world

"Without the word, there is no world",what Mikhail Bakhtin said exactly shows the significance role of language that influence the whole world. Indeed, when people have just borned, they have no feeling about what the world is. Then they percieve while they are reading, watching, listening and their experience. In this case, one that should not be ignored is language.
Language exists everywhere in our daily life. Parents and teachers are always telling people what right or wrong is by words. Moreover, when people sit by TV, their knowledge has also been improving in a very silent way, which gradually affect their world view. Furthermore, most of our studies are based on language such as compositions. In this way, we can acquire a lot about everything and even have our own judgement about what the reality is. In a word, without language, perceiving the world seems to be a dark way to through.
However, language is a double-edged sword. Due to the reason that learnning everything by language are using others' ideas. Not only how to follow the rules should people know, but people should also understand how to change the rules and create.
