Negative slanted language is a type of language that has a tone of blame and tells the recipient what cannot be done. It is often deceptive or manipulative rather than persuasive. Negative slanted language can be used to inject bias into information that is advertised as neutral and accurate, manipulating people. Examples of negative slanted language include saying someone "didnt have the guts to fight back" instead of saying someone "took the high road instead of taking a swing". In contrast, positive language tells the recipient what can be done, suggests alternatives and choices available to the recipient, and sounds helpful and encouraging rather than bureaucratic. A positive slant is the point of view when you look at the positive (good) outcomes in a situation rather than the negative (bad) possibilities.
