Mercer elludes his rationale of interthinking is the scope and sequence for the rest of this book. Interthinking is the coined term for allowing paths to be constructed between verbal interactions and always continually carrying on cultural norms for society. Language is a tool for carrying intellectual activity, and we are the ancestor of an activity provide to us by former generations that provides social need for individuals and communities. Words or along with language can imply different things so misinterpretation can exist or occur throughout structure of content. Mercer also provides some historical insight into this reasoning with Vygotsky’s research where language provides cultural foundation and a psychological tool for sentience and organization.
I feel Mercer lays the foundation for the rest of his book with this initial chapter. Historical relevance, a junction of where we are today in terms of modern communication, and where it will lead us into the future are all provided. As an art teacher I can understand his point of view and see many numerous examples of communication in art class everyday.
