Language plays for both teams it helps as well as limits human rights in any situation, language is by far one of the strongest weapons we have in this world. We can use language for so many things, whether its in conversation, or to cause happiness or pain as well as many other things. Launguage can be as strong or as weak as the person speaking makes it, in some cases language can define who you are like jerskey showed us in the clip and explination of my fair lady in class today. How you use language to prove a point is very key too because even if your argument is wrong if your language is presented well, organized, and thought out you can still make people think that your opinion is obviously the right one.
An example of this is in one of the news articles i brought in based on my topic which is the school to prison pipeline (sorry jerskey and prof b said its time to stop writing)
I partially agree with your statement, "...even if your argument is wrong if your language is presented well, organized, and thought out you can still make people think that your opinion is obviously the right one." Personally, I rarely consider one's argument to be right or wrong; it is he/shes opinion, or interpretation. However, I do believe that a well spoken individual is extremely capable of persuading others to join their side of any particular argument.
