How to use "Pacifies" in context?

When one describes the act of pacifying, the mind involuntarily drifts to thoughts of downtrodden creatures, cowering in fear before a threatening figure. This image is one of submission, a lack of autonomy or independence. Pacification takes on a very different meaning, however, when it is employed in the context of language. When we speak to others, we are attempting to create a calm and peaceful atmosphere. This can be accomplished by utilizing terms that are soft and gentle, phrases that evoke a state of calm. In order to pacify someone, we must first understand their emotions.
