Sword is mightier than pen explain​

English

Kamila [148]3 years ago

Answer:

The power, law, and authority can prove to be a stronger force over people in order to control them and convince them than the power of the word, communication, education, and democracy.

Explanation:

Writer Edward Bulwer-Lytton has once said “Pen is mightier than the sword”, <u>meaning the written and spoken word, communication, diplomacy, and sharing the thoughts and ideas is more valuable and likely to win in the fight against brute force. </u>

<u>However, we also can advise that the opposite is true and that sword is actually mightier than the pen.</u>

To win people and conflicts over with the argument, communication, and diplomacy, it takes time, knowledge, and the willingness of another side to replicate. It is certainly better, as winning in this way means you have won long term and that someone has changed their mind in the long run. But the authority, law, power, even violence can likely scare people, make them feel awe, or even with the power of the metaphorical sword for themselves.<u> Being confident and having power gives one the freedom to dictate the rules and get approval from others. This can be more effective sometimes and can produce results fast. </u>

While we might think “pen” is the metaphor for a more human way of education and communication, we must see the reality and comprehend that most of the world functions on the authority of the “sword”. Most people will follow the power and the law,<u> out of necessity, need, wish, or even fright.</u><u> The threat of power and violence is, good better or for worse, a powerful force that can convince people into many things. </u>

<u>Finally, the sword also symbolizes governmental power and jurisdiction. </u>The government is the one that controls other aspects of life, including media, culture, communication, and education, which all are represented by "the pen". If the government doesn't provide freedom of speech and media, communication and information won't have an impact on the people.

How is time represented in “persistence of memory” by salvador Dali? What effect does Dali achieve? Can writers use similar tech
olganol [36]
In Persistence of Memory, time is represented by clocks and hourglass. The clocks appear as though they are made of rubber, or cloth, draped over other objects. They are flexible and can bend. Some suggest that Dali was influenced by the scientific discoveries of the day, particularly Einstein's theories in which time is flexible not static.

Writers do not have to view the passage of time as a static thing either. They can describe events in the present and then flashback to past events. They can in one sentence describe a year of time, or they can in minute detail discuss what is happening with each passing second. In other words, writers can control and bend time just as Dali has done.
