Vasilis Karapostolis is Professor Emeritus of Culture and Communication at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. He was born in Athens and studied at the University of Athens and at the University of Stirling in Scotland. He has published a large number of essays, studies, articles and books on morals in the modern world, social behaviour, the family, youth, education, and related subjects.
In the program, he speaks about the value of the Greek language and the consequences that arise when our vocabulary “impoverishes” and foreign words multiply. Special reference is made to the impact on young people when their mother tongue is replaced by another language — a frequent phenomenon within the Greek Diaspora.
