Bahktin strongly believes this statement to the point where he remarks that only half of our spoken words are our own, and the other half come from the discourse of others. As many of you may not agree, to some extent, I do. I feel that most of the everyday speech we communicate and transmit is partly a recall of someone else's words.
People talk mostly about what other people say.
This process involves relaying information of other people, by direct quotations, plagiarism, or slander. Stating that we recall and pass judgement in this discourse to determine what we choose to believe. I am not saying that no one has any original thoughts, we just tend to relate our own words to other's thoughts. When we hear other people's words, we then selectively assimilate their ideas and build upon them to formulate our own opinions, leading to our ideological becoming. This is apparent when conversing about a current issue in the news, or simply a topic of any type up for discussion.
