Soft Words

In our time and place currently, the media has overpopulated the mass with soft words that are not always necessary but effective at hitting at home with individuals because of the what the soft words can do. We watched George Carlin, because he had segments describing theses soft words. One example that he used was Shell Shocked beginning in World War 1, then transitioning to post-traumatic stress disorder. Which in this case PTSD only charades the mass with this soft word to not scare individuals from not joining the military. Everybody wants happiness and bending the truth to do that will happen. Another thing we discuseed was adding soft words to advertise. Such as homestyle meats, which just adds homestyle to make one nostalgic of there home cooked meals. In my opinion if the world did not have these overused cliches soft words, there would be no need for brands and everybody could just buy the same thing and get on with there life. It does not only apply to foods also, it applies to brands, and anything else that describes them.
