How to use «Strikes» in context?
There have been Strikes throughout history. They have ranged from small walkouts to complete work stoppages. There are many reasons for a strike. Some workers may feel that their union has not been effective in negotiating a satisfactory contract and thus choose to take action. Others may feel that their job is too dangerous or miserable to continue working. Still others may believe that the company’s policies are unfair and refuse to participate in them. Whatever the reason, strikes can have a powerful impact on both the workers involved and the overall economy.

How does the verb strike differ from other similar words?
Some common synonyms of strike are affect, impress, influence, sway, and touch. While all these words mean «to produce or have an effect upon,» strike, similar to but weaker than impress, may convey the notion of sudden sharp perception or appreciation.

Where would affect be a reasonable alternative to strike?
The meanings of affect and strike largely overlap; however, affect implies the action of a stimulus that can produce a response or reaction.

When can impress be used instead of strike?
While the synonyms impress and strike are close in meaning, impress stresses the depth and persistence of the effect.

When might influence be a better fit than strike?
The words influence and strike are synonyms, but do differ in nuance. Specifically, influence implies a force that brings about a change (as in nature or behavior).
our beliefs are influenced by our upbringing
In what contexts can sway take the place of strike?
The synonyms sway and strike are sometimes interchangeable, but sway implies the acting of influences that are not resisted or are irresistible, with resulting change in character or course of action.
politicians who are swayed by popular opinion
When is touch a more appropriate choice than strike?
The words touch and strike can be used in similar contexts, but touch may carry a vivid suggestion of close contact and may connote stirring, arousing, or harming.
