Linguistic Password

I think the idea of a linguistic password is most definitely an exclusionary idea. Although it creates a bond between the members of the group who know the password, it ultimately does more to differentiate others than bring them togther. For example, lets say there is a group of 5 friends who have a certain password. They all know it and it gives them a sense of connection to eachother, but they never seek to find others outside of their group. Because no one else would know the password, they would never get into the group and never get the chance to assimilate. In addition to the fact that it excludes people outside the group, it also has negative effects towards the group itself. Yes they have developed a great connection amongst eachother, but by neglecting to acknowledge anyone els ehas its negative effects. Just because someone doesn't know one word doesn't mean they should exclude them. Who knows, maybe they are in fact very similar to the group, share the same interests, etc, but because they don't understand their linguistic password they are automatically being shut out. Because of this I would definitely conclude that the idea of a linguistic password emphasizes our differences far more than our similarities.
