Words are said to have real power. Do you believe that what you say to others or
what others say to you or even what you
say to yourself has any real power?
Explain using examples

Indeed, I consider that words have the power to have a decisive influence, both positively and negatively, on the listener. In other words, the messages that each person transmits have the power to modify the behavior of the receiver, as they can generate a reflection on a particular issue and change their way of thinking. A clear example occurs with religious conversions, where the message from a believer to an atheist ends up modifying the personal convictions of the latter, causing him to modify his behavior.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
