Question 1

Why are humans better language translators than computers?

◦ Meaning is context dependent.
◦ Humans understand more words than do computers.
◦ Computers are only as knowledgeable as the humans who input data into them.
◦ Humans translate language through emotions while computers cannot.

Question 2

Why does the text judge Erving Goffman's view to be cynical?

◦ His theory suggests people are inauthentic and play roles while rarely being their true selves.
◦ His theory suggests people are cold, calculating, and anxious to maximize benefits to themselves at whatever cost to others.
◦ His theory suggests people have no true feelings of their own and simply mimic those of people around them.
◦ His theory suggests people are superficial, hypocritical, and act in their own self-interests regardless of how this makes them appear to others.
