Do we have many, or indeed any, problems within our economy? As you and your students examined PG's speech in such detail, did he use the word 'problem' once? What in your opinion is the difference between the words PROBLEM and CHALLENGE? It occurred to me some time ago that perhaps certain spin doctors wiped the word PROBLEM out of the South African vocabulary, rather brilliantly I might add, as very few, if any, have questioned the disappearance and many have accepted it, like we have other issues.... rather like sheep? PROBLEM sounds ever so ominous....but surely ... PROBLEM is ... well, the problem!! Surely the CHALLENGE lies in the solving of the PROBLEM! We have PROBLEMS in almost every facet of our lives in this country and surely the CHALLENGES lie in the solving of them! Perhaps it is tactful for those politicians confronted or indeed often responsible for these PROBLEMS, to use the word CHALLENGE. But is it necessary for the opposition parties to follow this habit as well.... AND our society as a whole! Surely it is our duty to "tell it like it is"! When last has a journalist used the word 'PROBLEM'? Just a thought... NO...more than just a thought! tzME Hello Reg.
