political correctness
I think it's a very complicated question that disturb the nation: who can most flamboyantly claim to be offended, proclaim that their feelings and sensitivities have been hurt?
Sometimes, people see rudeness where there is no it. In these cases they eagerly claim to use political correctness words but for example, if we change the names of cities, countries and universities with other words that give no offense because they have no meaning. So my ultimate objection to PC is that it doesn't actually works. What I'm trying to say is that it's better to be effective rather than be right and PC is obsessed with how right it is all the time without thinking of how efficient it might be.
It's nothing to do with
For example, anyone can be offended by any word but they are only words, it's the context that counts. It's the intention behind the words that makes them good or bad and it depends on who and how use them. We must acknowledge that we can't be afraid of words speaking up the truth even if they are unpleasant, for example I don't like euphemism language. i think it distorts reality but also helps people who are afraid to face the truth of life.
