Many words that provoke strong emotional responses are words that relate to the people’s race, family, or their weak points. These words either say bad things, or remind the people of what they are bad at. Words that offend people in general are the words that tell people they are dumb or unattractive. Words that make me angry are the words that remind me of the things that I wanted to hide or forget. The words that offend people are the words that provoke strong emotion. Like the word referring to the black people in the past, that word offended the black people by saying that their skin color is of the inferiors. Other words that offend me are the words that condemn my family. The tone of your voice can also provoke strong emotion when you are saying certain things. If you’re saying something with a sarcastic voice, people might get offended; but if you say it with an earnest voice, people won’t be offended. Sometimes your voice is what makes a word become an insult.
