The concept of distinction We use it in our language in more ways than one.
When at the behest of a exposition on a subject or matter, the speaker wants to show the differences between two things, that is, to enumerate what are the differences that can be found between two different topics or classes, we will say that you are making a distinction. Basically, the distinction aims to single out the features of each class or thing and from there mark the differences that separate them and that make them not the same.
The main distinction between animals and humans is that the latter can reason.
Therefore, the word can also be used as a synonym for difference.
On the other hand, it is very common for the term distinction to be used to account for the elegance Y education that characterizes a person in their way of behaving and think. In other words, in this sense, the distinction will be the opposite of vulgarity. The distinguished person knows how to dress so as not to clash in a
celebration; when in context formal take care of your language and he is formal in his dealings, especially with those older people and those he does not know; He is courteous at all times and in spite of any situation, he never loses that elegance.There are events, contexts and places that are linked, associated with a distinguished behavior and therefore it is that if we we find in them it will be demanded that we behave that way and obviously it will be very frowned upon and condemned if we do not behave with education.
It should also be noted that there is a belief popular that maintains in the collective imagination that those people who belong to the upper class of society always have distinction when it comes to manifest, while on the contrary, those who belong to the lower class do not have it, and even more, they are directly linked to rudeness or bad education.
Obviously it is nothing more than a belief imposed as a result of social differentiation and that has little to do with reality. We can meet upper-class people with little distinction and lower-class individuals with a lot of education.
And we also use the term distinction as a synonym for award. It is common for us to say that this or that received a distinction from that academy for a contribution made in their work.
