Demonization for Dummies
noun
pronunciation: ,dimʌnʌ'zeɪʃʌnWhat does Demonization really mean?
Alright, so "demonization" is like when someone makes something or someone seem really, really bad. It's like when you imagine a demon, you know, something scary and evil? So when you say someone is demonizing something, you mean they are making it seem really bad and scary, even if it's not. It's like painting a really negative picture of something or someone.
So, let me give you an example. Let's say someone is talking about a new law, and they keep saying how horrible it is and how it's going to ruin everything. They're kind of demonizing that law, making it seem like it's the worst thing in the world, even if it might not be that bad.
There's also another meaning of "demonization," which is when someone is actually making someone seem like a demon, like they're turning them into a bad person even if they're not. It's like when people spread rumors about someone just to make them look bad.
So, it's like when you're playing a game of telephone, and by the time the message gets to the end, it's totally different from the original. That's kind of what demonization is like, twisting something or someone to make them seem really, really bad.
Does that make sense?
