Annotated Bibliography : Ray Bradbury

For one thing, in the op-ed “Can We Start Taking Political Correctness Seriously Now?” the author Chait summarizes that the protesters in the student demonstration at the University of Missouri besieged a photographer. Most supporters on the left think that young people want to keep themselves from any offense, and they believe that political correctness only occurs on campus; however, the truth is that political correctness will spread beyond the campuses. Next, Chait compares the Columbia event to the New Haven scene. Both of them express doubt in the “political democracy.” Finally, the author claims that the political correctness is excessive on campus, and leftists cannot escape the problem of political correctness. On the other hand, in the op-ed “The Delicate Little Flowers on Today’s College Campuses,” the author Goldberg explains that the Yale riot is due to the reply of a caution to stop wearing Halloween costumes. Also, as the scientist analyzes, current college students are so delicate that they always think they are offended. Then, Goldberg gives us the conclusion that it is the problem of education rather than political correctness itself. At last, he visualizes that these students flow into the society with “emotional cocoon” in the future. Although Chait’s Op-ed shows effective self-presentation in his claim about the leftist ideology of the political correctness, Goldberg does a better job by providing concrete evidence in logos and pathos in

It is evident from different events that political correctness has grasped big corporations, universities, school and media of the United States. This is one of the major reasons that United States is still one of the greatest preferences for immigrants to move to and the American Dream is still alive. According to recent news by Fox News it was clearly stated that political correctness is related to almost every problem arising in the United States. This is because there is a rise in secularism and the standards of the educational systems are decreasing with time. The police who are supposed to carry out their duties with full integrity are not permitted to carry out their responsibilities and this is increasing the instability and insecurity in the society. Due to the large fan following of Donald Trump in United States, a lot of people are beginning to believe that political correctness is having a negative influence on the entire country and that it needs to be closely controlled and monitored in order to bring improvements in the

Trigger warnings, safe spaces, and microaggressions; call it by any name you want, but political correctness has entered our life in academic, work, and personal environments. This fear has created a widespread impact in our scholastic exchanges, our Universities and schools now police the exchange of ideas, the conversation of the minds that they are chartered to encourage, they have suppressed. When it comes to talking about political correctness you have to “watch what you say” you don't want to “offend anybody” but that shouldn`t be the case. We should recognize what you are discussing when you need to discuss political rightness and research a little before you embarrass yourself, then reassess where you stand, lastly go out and get it going. Despite the fact that nothing will change in the event that we don't do anything on a national, worldwide, or neighborhood level, individuals are excessively outrage since we have to teach ourselves, and go and do something and as opposed to getting angry, we can go out and accomplish something.

In today society there is a problem called political correctness and its destroying our nation every single day. Political correctness is the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude. Colleges shouldn’t strive to have political correctness around college campus. We don’t need political correctness cause it problems and lead student protesting on campus. We should be more informed and open minded about politics. We deal with the political correctness problem every day, whether it’s insulting groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.

A Comparative Analysis of Bradbury’s Style As Seen in Something Wicked This Way Comes and Fahrenheit 451

In recent years, America has become softer as a country. The term recently that has come to light is politically correct, or as it is commonly referred to “PC.” In today's society people have become so focused on what's PC that the smallest offensive action can result in a massive lawsuit. America's recent development of political correctness is essentially a train the too many people hopped on, and then the train caught way too much speed. This trend has obviously spread like wildfire in the liberal college environment, and has even inhibited colleges from hiring commencement speakers. The point is, everyone in this country has a right to his or her own opinion, and this right should be honored unless it directly threatens the safety or well-being

Yale, a prestigious learning institution, has been plagued by political correctness on its campus. A lecturer, Erika Christakis, suggested a thought of possibly wearing offensive Halloween costumes and stated this "American universities were once a safe space not only for maturation but also for a certain regressive, or even transgressive, experience; increasingly, it seems, they have become places of censure and prohibition" ("I Hope this Offends You."). Students at Yale responded to this statement by trying to get her fired because they thought it was such an atrocity that somebody could support peoples first amendment and let people wear whatever costumes they want even if it offends people. This is a common trend at colleges all across the nation by letting them criticise instructors for offending them or causing them some emotional stress by statements. Occidental College, the education institution behind of our president has been plagued by the “PC Police” according to an article published by the New York Post, “Occidental kids are demanding a “microaggression” monitoring system that would empower them to report faculty members who’ve offended them” (Post Editorial Board). These students are putting the educators who are supposed to be teaching the topics in a true and unbiased manner in a hot seat and

In his 2012 book The Next Nightmare, Peter Feaman discerningly defines political correctness as a conformity to the belief that anything which could offend someone’s political sensibilities should be eliminated. This definition reveals the inherent attack on freedom of expression, because in today’s overly sensitive society, there is no telling what could offend someone’s political sensibilities.

Political Correctness (Revision #1) In “Not a Very P.C. Thing to Say”, Jonathan Chait explains how the meaning associated with political correctness has changed over the years. In the 90’s, political correctness was first seen in academics and has now made its way to popular culture and social media. Debate is now seemingly impossible because people are afraid to be criticized for what they have to say. Audiences also choose to perceive a speaker’s message based on his race and gender.

This article.shows Donald Trump’s extensive distaste for political correctness. The article utilizes quotes from Donald Trump that express how he is against political correctness. The author, Nick Gass, is a reporter for Politico and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Missouri in 2001. Furthermore, Gass has received two Mark of Excellence Awards from the Society of Professional Journalists. This article is not biased toward any specific candidate or political party and heavily relies on direct quotations from individuals. Thus, this would be a good source to help a student write a synthesis essay on political correctness.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for being present with us today. Me and my fellow group members are on the opposition team and strongly believe that Political Correctness has NOT gone too far and that in fact it is much needed in today 's society.  Political Correctness is defined in the dictionary as “the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.” However, we believe it is much more than that. It is the protection, appreciation, and acknowledgement of different race, ethnicity, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, culture, and tradition of the

I think she started to cry because she knows that it might be another 7 years before the sun comes out. “It had been raining for seven years.” (Bradbury, 155). The sun is very good for you as it gives vitamin D. Vitamin D is important for growth and development in your bones and teeth. She might be thinking that she will start to lose bone and teeth strength over the years. She probably also doesn’t like the cold rain on her face so she may be crying because of that. “A few cold drops fell on their noses and cheeks and mouths.” (Bradbury 160) I know how she feels because I hate that too. Also, I know this from

Political correctness does not hinder free speech; it simply encourages civil communication. If someone objects to political correctness, it is generally because they hold racist, classist, ableist, or otherwise bigoted opinions. Political correctness attempts to balance the playing field so that the targets of those bigoted opinions have a chance to be heard as

The very term Politically Correct has come to be problematic for some. As a tool to discourage and correct linguistic negativity; it has been considered by proponents to have a civilising influence on society (O’Neill 2011). While for opponents the way political correctness works is considered to create more problems than it can solve. This is supported by the assumption that the creation of new words to replace already established words is seen as a creation of a euphemistic treadmill. Where as soon as a new word is created it simply become absorbed and associated as a negative term.

Political correctness is a political ideology, nothing more. I believe political correctness is a political ideology and it cannot be correct unless it is linked to genuine transformation. First, I will examine the origins of political correctness to try to get a clear understanding of what this movement is. Second, I will show you that political correctness is political and how it became a political ideology. Lastly, I shall discuss why this ideology does not work.
