In what ways can words be considered to have power

English
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]3 years ago
3 0
The definition of power is the ability to do or act (note that words give us the power to define 'power' in the first place). 

Words have the power to produce action in several ways. They can create emotions, moods, and levels of motivation, and can will people to action when they otherwise have sat complacent. They have the power to uplift and improve people's outlook on life, and the power to produce an environment of hate and fear. They can instruct people on a previously vexing problem, and enable people to communicate thoughts that would have otherwise been trapped in the mind of only one person. 

Words fulfill the definition of power because they have the ability to create and influence real action.

Walter probably would agree with the idea that
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Walter would probably agree with the idea that:

c. money can solve any kind of problem.

Explanation:

This question refers to "A Raisin in the Sun," a play by Lorraine Hansberry. Walter is one of the main characters, along with Mama and his sister, Ruth. For most of the play, Walter has the firm belief that money can solve any kind of problem. However, he has trouble making money. He also has trouble understanding that the money itself should not be an end to a means. Instead, it should be the means to an end, the resource used to get something that will help make people happy and comfortable. It is only at the end of the play that Walter is able to open his eyes to that. He finally sees that his mother's and sister's dreams are more important than to simply possess money.

What is the theme of this story?​
777dan777 [17]

Your answer is B, Practice always makes perfect

One of the main themes of the story is the dangers of exploiting nature. By making regular hunting expeditions to prehistoric times, Time Safari Inc demonstrate just such an exploitative attitude. They see nature as nothing more than an object that exists for man's personal use.

Sure hope this helps
