SEASON 2

 

The Power of Words During COVID and Beyond

When we’re young no one teaches us the power of language and as a result we grow up using words carelessly.  We apply gross general statements – like everyone, everything, all, nothing – to individual situations, we create and share strong stories around situations before we consider our own biased filter, and we make “statements of truth” that are more opinion than fact.

Where’s the Tolerance?

We are strongly influenced by the words we think and say, so while we, as a country, continue to talk about zero tolerance we are getting exactly what we ask for…a society with zero tolerance. Meanwhile no one is asking, does zero tolerance language get us to the result we want?
