Critical Discourse Analysis The term Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is used interchangeably with Critical Linguistics (CL). Nonetheless, since not long ago it seems that CDA is preferred to speak of the theory formerly known as CL. CDA considers language a social practice (cf. Fairclough: 1989).

story of 7 children ranging in the ages of 7-13 years old. Having the film focused on kids opinions instead of adults because it gives a fresh view on how they interpret the situation.

two state solution to the Arab Israeli Conflict has been debated, and Israel and Palestinian majorities have been in favor of it. However it is not that simple, there are many factors that play into this conflict. For example, the borders and who would control jerusalem are very difficult decisions to make.

belief is that justice cannot be restored to the Israelis or Palestinian people. Two of the so called “solutions” that has been circling is the one state and two state solution. Some people have different outlooks on which one is better or not, but both of these haven’t even been tried. The only thing it has done is circulate gossip between lands.

territory the longest time ago, but the Palestinians believe that since they have lived there for the past thousand or so years, they have claim to the land.

of peace between Israel and the Palestinians? Israel has dependably been willing to trade off and each Israeli government including the present one has been set up to make significant penances for peace.
