My presentation will be about linguist, philosopher and political activist Noam Chomsky.

I will divide my presentation into 3 parts.: The area of linguistics and his initial studies, his political involvement and also the reason why I chose him.

I think it is difficult to do this since there so much information to include. This is why I selected some main points as a sample presentation.

I have chosen him above other people because I admire his contributions in the area of linguistics but also because I feel his involvement in the area of politics and his acknowledgement of the injustice present in many places, plus the terrible American /British foreign policy, has cost him a lot and still he perseveres to make people aware of what happens. As a Jewish, he has gone against the Jewish community and the right wing in the US to make strong statements. There are few intellectuals that take the time to do this. I value it.
