Twisted Words: Ep. 12: Who Controls the Words Controls the World

In this episode Connie Morris examines how language and repeated narratives shape perception, identity, and public policy. Drawing on her experience as a retired police officer, instructor, and researcher, she explores how labels, media framing, and fear-based wording condition society and influence who is trusted, punished, or dehumanized.

Connie offers practical takeaways for reclaiming awareness: pay attention to the words you hear, question repeated narratives, and refuse labels that limit human complexity. This episode closes the Twisted Words series by urging listeners to look deeper and speak wisely.
