Answer to Question #309240 in Sociology for Gid

Question

You have been made the leader of a group of people who advocate for environmental cleanliness. During the handing over ceremony, the minister for sanitation mandated you to Walk the talk?? and not Talk the walk. What did the minister mean by that? With clear examples, briefly explain what these two phraseologies mean

Answer 1

When the sanitation minister tells the environmental leader to walk the talk, the minister of sanitation informs the environmental cleanliness leader to ensure what he/she says, is what he/she should do actively. It could be through informing the public of throwing waste in the correct place while actively ensuring that he/she disposes of waste correctly. Also, it could be through actively participating in the environmental cleanliness programs such as recycling. When the sanitation minister asks the environmental cleanliness leader not to talk the walk, he warns him or her not to say words that the environmental leader will not actively do.
