Words become powerful when people get hurt. In today’s society, people seem to be more influenced by what people say. Whether it’s in a bad way or good way, people react differently to what people say. So yes, words can be very powerful to certain people

Certain words that you say to certain people may offend them. Words can be used positively or negatively when speaking to someone depending on which words you choose

Literacy and words have a lot of power to dictate a person’s attitude and point of view on a situation. Literacy give me people the knowledge that allows them to open their mind to many possibilities. Last year when we read about Frederick Douglas, he was purposely kept illiterate in order to keep him from realizing the injustice that he was facing.

A few months back there was a student named Teddy who was bullied at school verbally. He committed suicide, this example shows how words can impact ones life in very negative ways but there’s way words can positively impact peoples life by encouraging one another.

There is immense power in words and literacy because they can cause action and reaction. Words symbolize movements and experiences. Words can cause wars, writings can cause oppositions. An example would be Martin Luther and his words that changed a nation. Or the literacy in Anne Frank’s or the book about lone survivor. My own experience would be when my mother’s sister said some hateful words to her and they caused eachother to lose their relationship for eight years.

Words can become powerful in life. To an extent, these words are used when a someone experiences an emotional stronghold whether or not it be good or bad. These words create a stronger interaction with the people you say these words to, especially throughout the course of your life.

Being literate is everything when talking about power. In order to gain power, understanding is important. Words can greatly affect a person’s self esteem and influence their actions. In the past, holding back education from women was a way to restrict their freedom and hold them back so they could remain inferior to men. If you do not have the tools to flourish you will not do so

Madison

The power in words and literacy can influence people in many different ways. Saying hurtful words to people can cause some people to break down and not know what to do. You need to watch what you say around people because you don’t know what they have been through or are going through.

Stephen Naus

2018-02-26 18:11:07 UTC

Words can make or break somebody's confidence. Your words have more power the more credible you are. For example, it means a lot more for a comedian to tell you you are funny than your average Joe. When I played baseball, I took critique much more lightly when it was coming from my parents as opposed to my coach.

Jenna Mazzilli

2018-02-26 18:11:16 UTC

Being literate is powerful because you’re able to comprehend complex ideas and beliefs and build off of them to make them your own. When people lack literary, they rely on people who are literate and their words to create and process ideas/ beliefs for them.

Jillian

2018-02-26 18:11:17 UTC

Being literate is powerful when trying to express how one feels about something. In order to get your point across you need to be able to speak and be knowledgeable about things to make a change. In this century you need to be able to communicate to go to school, have a job, or work well with others.

Michael Fantom

Words are only as powerful as we make them out to be. The ways society uses words is how we interoperate them on a daily basis.

Jake Hale

Words are powerful and the way we choose to use them can result in negative or positive changes to society.

Cory

2018-02-26 18:11:49 UTC

The way you use words and how you interpret them are powerful. Words can only be as powerfully as who says it. You need to get a powerful person to say your words to help get your message across

Carmina

The power of words and literacy can influence the lives we live today and our beliefs in today’s topics. For example, my church uses the scriptures to inspire us on how to live life with good morals and worship God.

Robert S.

2018-02-26 18:13:01 UTC

Words and literacy can either be used to unite or divide, or to inform or control. In history, we’ve seen many figures use the power of rhetoric to achieve their own personal agenda and such trend continues to this date. In debate, I’m given the opportunity to present my ideas to others with plausible reactions of disagreement or understanding.

Imran

2018-02-26 18:13:27 UTC

The way people percieve words can change how they think for the rest of their lives. Words can change lives especially if an important person says it. When my coach says something i listen to it better than if my parents said it

Parker Swayne

There is power in words and literacy when emphasis is used on certain phrases or words to highlight a specific detail, event, or action. Words can also be powerful when they motivate people to stand for a particular issue. Election buzzwords such as "Build the Wall" spark movements all the time.

Jake b

2018-02-27 13:16:20 UTC

Words and literacy can be a powerful tool if used right. In order to be persuasive or influential with words you have to be charismatic and smart. Someone who is not very articulate are likely to be less persuasive and influential on your actions.

Garrett Sprouse

2018-02-27 13:16:22 UTC

There is power in words and literacy to the extent that people can use them to either persuade, control, or help, etc. I've seen many people use different combinations to manipulate others, and one such case is Donald Trump while he was on the campaign trail. He crafted a short slogan that everyone could get behind, and that definitely helped in his campaign for presidency

Alyssa

2018-02-27 13:16:32 UTC

There is power in words and literacy when someone is constantly trying to say or protest something. When you are constantly reminded of something it will start to stick in your mind. For example in the halls of our school there are numerous posters that say “Choose Kind” in hope that constantly seeing these posters will change young ones minds.

Cevannah Coleman

2018-02-27 13:16:41 UTC

There is always power in literacy and words. When we think of someone who is "smooth", we think of a person who can coherse anyone into anything. This is an example of using effective diction. When we wrote college essays, effective diction is needed to show maturity and intellect. Public speakers need powerful diction and phrasing to "move" the audience to be effective. Diction and phrasing is effected and needed in everyday life if you want to be effective in stating a clear message.

2018-02-27 13:16:44 UTC

Words and literacy are extremely important to become successful in life, such as obtaining a decent job. Words also allow movements to occur that increase quality of life. They can be powerful in fighting for whats right or in causing a lot of damage. Words carry weight and meaning that are important to everyday life.

Matteo Colamonaco

2018-02-27 13:16:45 UTC

there are many powerful pieces of writing, which makes literacy so important. many speeches, including Martin Luther King, Jr’s “I have a dream,” yet bad people such as Hitler use their literacy as weapons.

There is power in words and literacy when people say things and get it engrained in your brain. They will repeat it many times till you're just playing it in your head on replay and it's gets through to you

grace fulco

There’s a quote that goes “ Stick and Stones may break my bones but words can’t hurt my feelings” . The power in words can only hurt you if you let them. It all depends on how you interpret what is being said to you.

John Sieracki

2018-02-27 13:16:59 UTC

Words and literacy are very important. The ability to read and communicate keep people from bring tricked into belting false information. It you can keep people ignorant then you can feed them as much false information as you want to. If a nation has no idea of previous ideas (north Korea, Nazi Germany) it is easy to change their mindset and force them todothings they normally would not do.

Hillary Robertson

2018-02-27 13:16:59 UTC

The power of words and literacy is very strong. It’s a way to communicate and convey feelings. It’s a way to learn. Words are constantly playing in our head, whether we realize it or not. Without words, we would not be able to protest, start movements, and change opinions. The power of words is also proven in situations like cyber bullying, elections, etc.

Donovan Brewster

2018-02-27 13:17:08 UTC

Words and literacy allow people to express themselves in a way that others may be able to relate to. Words have the power to persuade other especially if it is said by someone important. Words can change the way someone lives their life because words have persuaded them to live it that way. Some people believe what Donald Trump tells us purely because of the fact that he is president, but the words that are written for him are actually quite powerful and cause people to like him. Prime example right there... give me points

Kristen White

2018-02-27 13:17:10 UTC

Words and literacy give an outlet to express feelings and opinions. Words can be used to persuade and argue and they can be kind or mean. Words and literacy are a way of understanding.

Breanna Curran

2018-02-27 13:17:10 UTC

Words have proven to be very powerful. Most of the leaders that have taken power throughout the world have used their words to get their position. In the United States we have the great debate and hitler was a very powerful leader and he persuaded people with his words. People tend to respect and look up to literate and well spoken people. Different words and different ways people use their words have different effects. If words can effect people then they have power.

Words and literacy are very important in writing. They are used to communicate and to get your point across in writing. Words and literacy are very strong and have a huge effect when they are used correctly.

Tyler Kosar

2018-02-27 13:17:34 UTC

The power of words and literacy extends much farther than the power of weapons and people themselves. Slave owners prevented their slaves from reading, as it would give them the power to overthrow their masters. In North Korea, the selection of literary works is limited as to control the masses. Hitler moved an entire nation with his speeches. Martin Luther King, Jr. caused change in the nation with hos words, too. The power of words and literacy extends much farther than anyone can imagine at first.

Kalayna

2018-02-27 13:17:47 UTC

People can be very persuasive and convince people to do things they might not usually do. Books can make people smarter and teach them things they might use later to talk to people about. Literacy And words are used for pretty much everything. We’d be more stupid without them.

Bayleigh Willinger

2018-02-27 13:18:22 UTC

Words and literacy can be used in all aspects of life , to persuade, to inform, etc. The words you choose to say and write are very powerful and can have an affect on many people in different ways. They have an impact on people and the way they and yourself live.

Olivia Thrush

2018-02-27 13:18:27 UTC

Words and literacy hold excessive power in the world. An ability to make your voice heard expressing yourself fluently and efficiently can make the difference of ideas being taken seriously. This can make the difference of how others will respond to your ideas and how they will be interpreted. Word choice and confidence when presenting for a class can determine whether they will stay interested in your topic, or how fellow classmates will take to these ideas.

Danielle

2018-02-27 13:18:33 UTC

People can be very persuasive not only with their actions in everyday life.

Luke Smith

2018-02-27 13:18:54 UTC

Both words and literacy have power that some may not realize. Words can be used to encourage, hurt, help even perceive a message or idea. While literacy can teach us and educate people inorder to preserve history, philosophies and ideas from past and teach the future of the world.

savannah gray

Sarah Green

Words and literacy are important in becoming successful in life, such as obtaining a decent job. Words have the power to fight for equality and quality of life, but are also capable of a lot of damage. Words carry weight and meaning that affect us everyday.

Words and literacy have power when someone says something that gets ingrained in your brain. They'll keep saying it time and time again untill you're stuck thinking about it and no matter what you do it's just stuck in the back of your mind.

In literacy, words are very powerful because it's one of a few ways to express how the author is feeling. It's a way of communicating images without physical pictures

Kushnar

2018-02-27 16:41:25 UTC

Words are powerful than anything that’s ever happened to someone because it expresses feelings or opinions of a person for someone else. The words Speaks of actions it self . Words have an effect on a persons behavior. It challenges a persons confidence, instincts , principals , self respect of who they believe they are . It raises questions on someone’s deed or doings or achievements they earned . It acts as an ignition to 🔥 (anger) firing up the situation to an extreme opposite reaction of the person they are .

Sean

There is no better way to communicate than in writing. People are able to thoughtfully get their point across in a place where it can always be referenced. The power in words and literacy is unlimited. Words have proven to be able to move nations. Without literacy a person is blind to the thoughts of others.

Stephen

Danny Nanan

Words have power that sometimes action can't even have. Words can sum up the action of a person in just a small paragraph. They can inspire and convey so many messages very easily.

Esperanza

Words are powerful but they also have different meanings when red in a text. Words help find the emotional value of the text or even convenience or teach u something. So words are very powerful to the point they project some kind of feeling or idea to you.

Maria Battaglia

Carolyn

There is great power in words because it helps us to express our thoughts and feelings so others can understand us. Words can be used to persuade others if they are convincing enough and can argue for a certain cause. The things we say show our values and who we are as people, and have a big impact on the way others perceive us. In my experience, using kind words towards others generally causes a positive response it return.

There are only power in words and literacy if they are spoken by a very well known, well respected figure. They must have a following or cause a deal of controversy to be heard and to effect society. An example of this would be Martin Luther king. Not only did he have a large following all over the US, but he sparked a great deal of controversy, this caused his words to have a strong impact on the nation

Sydney Frank

2018-02-27 16:43:19 UTC

Words are very powerful. They can make or break family relations and friendships. Words portray certain emotions, and based on how they’re presented, different meanings can be interpreted.

In literacy, words are the only form of communicating to the readers besides pictures. Words are powerful bc its how the reader interprets them to better understand the text

Ryan Graham

2018-02-27 16:43:37 UTC

There is no true extent because words can have a very large impact on anything. For example people get bullied all the time through words which makes them upset but people can be praised and words can make them feel invincible.

Jonathan Hines

Words have the power to shape what you believe, whether you read a news story or propaganda or a fantasy story, people are influenced by what they read and hear. Words can make someone cry or laugh, they could cause the deaths of thousands of people or save those lives. When I read or hear news on tragic events, it makes me want to go and help them.

Words and literacy is what drives society. It is the driving force among communication and understanding , because nothing can be accomplished if there is no communication. Spoken and written words can be interpreted differently by different people, so something simply stated by one individual can have a large impactly meaning on another individual. So in turn, words can hurt. Words can change opinions. And words can be impactful. Literacy is a large part of life in current society because being able to read is the ability to have an intake of information, the ability to communicate without speaking or even the ability to express your opinion amongst the masses. Words have a great influence on life and people and make a huge difference in society.

Natalie Dickey

2018-02-27 18:04:07 UTC

Natalie Sorlin

2018-02-27 18:04:15 UTC

Words and literacy are very powerful because it is the main method of communication. Words provoke emotion depending on the individual’s interpretation of them. Also, the method/ tone in which words are delivered impacts the individual’s feelings. Literacy (the ability to read and write) allows people to express their emotions through word choice.

Michael Brusio

2018-02-27 18:04:19 UTC

There will always be a lot of power in words rather than power in actions. People can make a movement strictly by having thoughts and morals and being able to make people take on their beliefs and morals.

Words are very powerful as they can hurt people emotionally. When words are used in threats, it can cause people to be afraid. Literacy is very powerful because it allows you to write books that can influence people even after you die like Fredrick Douglass.

Lauren Westendorf

2018-02-27 18:05:01 UTC

Words is one of the main ways humanity communicates and spreads ideas. Works like the Bible and the 95 Theses spread religions and ideas through out the world, and literacy and writing help advance these ideas. Knowledge is power, and so the more people who could read and write these ideas the more poswerful people there would be.

Caitlin Haren

2018-02-27 18:05:03 UTC

Words and literacy not only aid in communication but suggest intellect. Words are used to understand each other and avoid misunderstandings. Literacy allows things to be documented. Words and literacy allow for imagery and emotion.

Hunter Plank

2018-02-27 18:05:11 UTC

Words can hold the power to change the mind others. They also can bring peace through their power or start a conflict. A great example would be the feud between countries and their leaders being broadcast over social media that has brought the world closer to total midnight on the nuclear clock, closer than when we were during the cold war. Literacy can control who knows the truth of the nations, when a majority is educated and has control over the education of the minority, they hold the power to stay in that majority and keep the others uneducated. Slavery is an example where literacy was used throughout history to gain power over others.

Mikayla Mcquay

2018-02-27 18:05:23 UTC

Words are very powerful because they motavate people to do things and take action. For example with the recent tragedy that has happened with school shootings, a girl has protested voice and opinions which has caused congress and the president to come up with ideas for school safety.

Words can convey emotions and bring people together. Think back to revolutions. They all started with one person speaking their mind and telling how they felt.

keia

words have a lot of power depending on the person telling them to you. if it's a stranger telling you so something, you won't care as much but if it's someone you care about, it will have more of an impact. someone in a place of power will have more of an effect than someone who isn't. literature contains knowledge and being able to read books will give people knowledge and they can learn more.

Kevin Baker

2018-02-27 18:06:03 UTC

The power to read and write is huge. Espically since there are so many people in the world who can’t because they are not fortunate enough to have education where they live. So being able to be literate is huge you can express and show people what you’re thinking and you’re able to understand others it is a great ability to have.

Brett Lindsey

2018-02-27 18:06:33 UTC

Words and literacy has great power in life. It is how we communicate amoung one another. If someone has a hard time reading and writing then they will have a harder time in school and in everyday life. The smartest people can read and write and it allows you to communicate with others better. Books have helped shaped life since the early times of man. It is how we collect and interpret data and how we grow in our understanding of life.

As a referee, I have had almost every expletive directed toward me. Most of the time I can shake it off... but some days - the intensity of those words can be quite powerful. Most people think and hope that their words can be powerful, but if you are able to handle situations like refereeing, then you are able to diminish the power of the people’s words.

Jared Heilemann
