What's a good topic to discuss in relation to the power of language?

Hi there,
I'm writing an essay on the power of language and this is the essay question: "Words are more powerful and treacherous than we think," (Jean Paul Sartre). Do you agree.

I say I do and I've already done paragraphs on the influence words have over people and how words can shape culture. For my last paragraph (I only need to do three) I don't know what to talk about.
I was considering looking at how words can be used to concisely relay specific things on a certain topic, ie. particular words that are only used in relation to, say, karate.
