Oh, absolutely. It's practically in my job.

As for an example . . . oh, there are hundreds. Think of how we describe certain things. Think of how the press reports things. Soldiers who fight for your country are brave and go through hell no matter what the war is truly about; enemy soldiers are devious, cowardly, and deserve everything they get. Policemen always dispense justice; vigilantes are never anything but jumped-up thugs. Ask any English historian and they'll tell you they populated America, not colonized it.

How you speak about something makes all the difference in the world.
