Parrhesia

Frank speech undertaken despite personal or social risk.

Explanation

Its force comes from openness joined to responsibility and exposure.

Example

I will say it openly: this selection needs a new standard.

Counterexample

Perhaps the standard might possibly be reconsidered.

Effect on thought and perception

Makes the relation between truth, power, courage and position tangible.

Resonance

A voice becomes more visible and more exposed to reply.
