Everyday words are used as powerful tools to affect our world. An example of this is the way companies advertise their products on the radio. If you sit back and think I am 100% sure that you will be able to come up with a few jingles that have been embedded in your memory do to constant repetition of certain radio advertisements. The reason I use the medium of radio is because there are no images involved just sounds and words coming from your speakers. Printed word has been so powerful since the beginning of time that sometimes it’s scary. People such as Adolf Hitler have used words to bring about whole social and political movements, he found ways to control and manipulate media in his country to push and gain support for his own agendas and it worked. Martin Luther King Jr. used his words to bring about change and awareness to civil rights in America and it worked, through books and speeches he could make his words more powerful than guns. Surely everyone has heard of “I Have a Dream”.
Pictures can be just as powerful as words. Pictures can have no words but speak to you as if they were human. Many people choose to convey how they feel and think through images and art instead of using words as I am with this blog. I choose to not go in too deep about the power of pictures,why not use some images to convey these thoughts?
Words Vs Pictures? I can’t say that I believe there is a clear winner but both can have the same effect.
