Discourse | Discourse Analysis | Critical Discourse Analysis | CDA of US-Iran Tensions

Hello Guys What is Critical Discourse Analysis, and how does language shape war? In this video, we break down the meaning of Discourse, Discourse Analysis (DA), and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) using the real-world geopolitical tensions of the US-Iran conflict. Language is never neutral. When powerful nations communicate, every word, media headline, and speech is carefully constructed to maintain power, influence public opinion, and manufacture consent. By using Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework, we peel back the layers of political propaganda to show you exactly how media networks and governments construct "Us vs. Them" narratives. Whether you are a linguistics student looking for a clear explanation of CDA, a media analyst, or just someone curious about the geopolitics of the Middle East, this step-by-step breakdown will completely change how you watch the news.
