Two examples of what to say.

What people say and talk when they are together, either in a happy moment or any form of confrontations, matter a lot on how they will end their conclusion. Situations dictate how we are likely to interpret words uttered by our colleagues, medical practitioners, and even law enforcers. From the article readings, it has been evident that there some ways we need to use some words to either provoke a positive response and perhaps avoid a negative response. According to the articles, a good example of what to say use of the word willing whenever we need to achieve a positive response persuasively regales of the situation (LANIN, 2020. For example, saying will you be willing to attend our morning session for crisis management discussion will be permitted as the term willing has been found to have some magical power in convincing people to accept a request without much ado.

Another example is the use of the word says in place of talk. People need to know that talk seemingly makes people feel oppressed or forced to utter words that may not make sense. As given in the article, when an officer or clinical nurse uses the word talk to someone affected with suicidal ideation, such individuals tend to remain mum (LANIN, 2020.

Two examples of what not to say.

Perhaps it is essentially good to avoid using words whose meaning may diminish any further possibilities of continued conversation, such as examples to avoid using the words "yes, but" which portray negativity of the incoming message or conversation (Mauk & Metz, 2016). Use of “yes, but" should be avoided at all costs since it sounds unsupportive to any conversation. Another example of words not to say is "how are you," as it may sound rude and false. In life, it is not genuinely good to ask one, "how are you."
