Summary/Abstract Words should be chosen and used carefully so that they convey the meaning or meanings that you intend-and do not convey any unintended or double meanings. Writing should leave little ambiguity or uncertainty about what you are referring to-unless some purposeful ambiguity is desired. Sometimes words that are abstract or superficial may be chosen to suit the writer's purpose. For example, there is a long tradition of euphemistic writing. But such use of words should be well-considered and deliberate, not the result of carelessness or indifference.

Nicaragua, Forlorn / Colburn, Forrest D   Journal Article
Colburn, Forrest D Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract Managua-There are few visible signs that Nicaragua had a traumatic Revolution 30 years ago. The ever-present soldiers with their AK-47s are gone, along with their jeeps and trucks. Gone, too, are the billboards, posters, murals, and graffiti with the revolutionary exhortations of the Sandinistas. The newspaper Barricada (Barricade) has vanished and so have the plethora of magazines, pamphlets, and books devoted to political and economic change. More noticeable, Nicaraguans are relaxed, at ease. There is no "mobilization," little talk of politics, and no expectation of imminent change. There is no sense, either, of danger.
