From dictators to liberators, words have been used to get points across and communicate with other people. They harness an abundant amount of power and can be used to inspire, motivate, and evoke certain emotions. Depending on the speaker, they can choose to use their power of words for the greater good or for their own good. Adolf Hitler used his power of words to cause harm, consequently using his power for his own good. Martin Luther King Jr. used his power of words to end prejudice and injustices across the United States, consequently using his words for the greater…
In Mrs. Chamberlain's grade 10 English class, the overall theme of the course was the power of words. The message that I have seen throughout the course was that despite words being influential, and effective, it is actions that speak louder than words. Firstly, from Garth Stein`s The Art of Racing in the Rain, Enzo, the dog, comforts Eve when she is sick, and Denny is not there to take care of her. Next, In Markus Zusak's The Book Thief, Ilsa`s act of giving Liesel the black book has life - saving power. Finally, In Harper Lee`s To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus shows his hatred of discrimination, and sets a positive example for his kids through the act of defending a black man.…
Living is about making choices. The choices people make shape their lives for better or worse. Even the decision not to choose has its effects, often not wanted. But the individual who chooses to make positive choices and to act accordingly is more likely to see his or her life reflect his or her beliefs and desires. Usually the individual who chooses to take action is also willing to face the risks and obstacles that such choices involve.…

First, the power of words can change people, it can change people’s feelings, views, and opinion. There are so many ways to show that words have the power to change people. For example, a person might have a bad day, and the person is angry with everything. But by listen to some friend’s great “words”, the person would not feel angry anymore, or even can feel the greatness of the day. This is why words can change people’s feelings,views, and opinion.…
Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, “Don't say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say… (Emerson, 1909).” I head this quote the first day of school my junior year of high school. My English teacher, Miss Wilson, shared Emerson’s quote to emphasize that what you do has a larger impact on the world than what you say. I was taught this lesson only a few short months later while standing in the rain, on a muddy football field.…

Words are undoubtedly the most influential tool used by mankind. They contain immeasurable significance throughout the world we live in. Our societies are all built upon a common basis which is centered around words. Words make up language which we use to communicate and interact with one another. Language impacts the way people think, act, and perceive things. Consequently, if you are able to control and manipulate language you will have the ability to affect the way people think, act, and perceive things. Thus, the more you are able to control language, the more power you will possess. Since language is made up of words, this concludes that words are indeed, power.…
Robin Williams once said, “No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” Numerous people today would disagree with the statement words hold more power than weapons. However, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and Decius from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar are all examples throughout history that clearly reveal that words can entice the most influential people. I completely agree; words hold more power than weapons. There is an abundant amount of power held in a single word or statement.…
Verbal communication and nonverbal communication can have both a negative and positive effect on communication within law enforcement officers making public announcement to the press. Law enforcement academies do not teach techniques of communication to officers going through training even with the prominence of communication in everyday functions. Police officers are held at a higher standard than ordinary citizens but are still humans and have the same problems like ordinary citizens. The transfer of an idea from one location to another can be a challenging task for an officer especially if he or she have to speak in a public setting.…
