The power of words activity

1: This video portrays the image of power via the use of words. They show a blind man who doesn't get any spare change from the people who walk by his sign, when a young man feels compassion for him and decides to change the words in his sign. He used more powerful and meaningful words which made him get a lot more money. this portrays the power of the words.

2: The first sign uses pathos, by appealing to the peoples guilt; he is blind and cannot work, while people who can cannot spare him any money. The sign is poorly written and doesn't do a very good job at appealing to people's feelings. The second sign says "this is a beautiful day, but I can NOT see it". This sign uses the same technique of appealing to peoples emotions but uses a approach of making the other person understand how handicapped he is.

3: On the first sign people just walk by him, and the few people that actually give him money just walk by quickly not giving him much attention.

4: The reaction of people, when seeing the second sign was immediately going to him and sparing him a little money. 

5: The video effectively conveys the power of words, by showing how conveying the same message but with different words can change so much how to people see you, and react towards you.
