How the word 'you' helps us deal with negative experiences
Written by Tim Newman
Published: Today
 
Recent findings, published in the journal Science, provide new insight into the way a simple word - "you" - can help us understand negative experiences and extract meaning from them.
 
A new study finds extra meaning in the simplest of words.

The word "you" is one of the most commonly used in the English language. Its primary use is to address a specific person - for instance, "how are you?" - but it also has a broader meaning.

Hey: you got a problem with that?
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
