The Power of Language: Three Personal Examples of Negative Interpersonal Relationships Language has always been a crucial aspect of my life. Growing up in a multicultural household, I learned the importance of choosing my words carefully and being mindful of how they can impact

Identify three specific personal examples of times when choice of language led to negative results in your own interpersonal relationships or those around you that you can speak easily about. 
First, describe what language means to you overall. Then, for each situation, cite the person(s) involved, the place of the occurrence, the situation, and the language used. Then identify the type of language (sexist, racist, powerful or powerless, ambiguous, abstract, euphemism, relative words, evaluative language, weasel words, equivocation, allness statements, etc.) and note the results of each incident. 
How did language play a pivotal role in these experiences? Each example should illustrate a different issue with language. Your journal-style response should be approximately one page.
