I know it’s not fair to reduce complex behaviors to engineering schematics, but adopting from that style, I feel it safe to cast language ability and behavior as both contained and launched from a “mouth –> ear –> mind –> heart” system.

This should not offset contributions to language involving other modes, organs, and senses.

🙂

However, the term may be exploited to play up two or three related issues in conflict: to affect a change in language toward the encouragement of a greater humanity and more expansive global peace, one may wish to pay attention to who speaks, says what to whom, and by what means.

The reduction is trite, but it leads on to policy talk about the education of mothers, funding for literature and other media translation, concern with propaganda, and interest in radio as a critical conflict-shaping component and variable.
