`` Apple Removes All American Civil War Games From The App Store Because Of The Confederate Flag

On January 1992 the NAACP put in affect a boycott on South Carolina to pressure the state to remove the Confederate flag off of its Statehouse in Columbia. The boycott is what initially brought life to this issue. The NAACP’s removal request is based on the fact that they, the anti-flag groups, claim that the meaning of the Confederate flag is one of hate and discrimination. On the other hand, there are other groups that believe differently whom are called the pro-flag groups. They claim that the Confederate flag is a sign of heritage and should stay on South Carolina’s Statehouse. Anti-flag articles are more likely to be found published in well-known Liberal magazines, when credible pro-flag articles were hard

In this article the research I collected explains the use of political correctness at a University. The purpose of political correctness is to avoid or take extreme measures to desist any action or expression that may exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against. It is clear that majority of the people in this article are not satisfied by the way issues were handled at the University. The author presented relevant information to answer the question; “Is political correctness an enemy of free speech?”. Some government officials that were brought into this situation, agreed with political correctness and what it means. While doing this research I learned that political correctness in not only this, but also is a tool used to control people's speech so that no one feels offended. I believe political correctness is barricade for anyone who wants a power of choice. Moreover, this article is useful for an analysis on limitations for societies in

Political correctness according to the merriam webster dictionary is: agreeing with the idea that people should be careful to not use language or behave in a way that could offend a particular group of people. Being politically correct is something that is encouraged by many in order to avoid offensive terms that may result in violence, protest, etc. So if the chalk writings only said “Vote Trump” or “Trump 2016” there would be fewer issues surrounding the messages if

The “Politically Correct” movement’s purpose is to bring historically condescending terms, offensive music and art, and controversial educational content to an end and replace them with more positive and less-offending references. Offensive and demoralizing efforts are wrong, but the censorship and deletion of words and phrases that do not contain the intention to demoralize are taking political correctness too far. Politically correct (or “PC”) antics have created a social decline that is growing worse with each generation, specifically regarding areas of art, education, language, and our right to freedom of speech; the degradation they have brought to the American psyche has even led to

In an article from The Washington Post, Cathy Cuthbertson, a Trump supporter, said, ““You know, I couldn’t say ‘Merry Christmas.’ And when we wrote things, we couldn’t even say ‘he’ or ‘she,’ because we had transgender. People of color. I mean, we had to watch every word that came out of our mouth, because we were afraid of offending someone,”(Tumulty and Johnson). Cuthbertson’s feelings embody much of those who oppose political correctness. Most of the oppositions to political corrections stem from the argument

The confederate flag can be very offensive to some people. The confederate flag is racist because the southern people wanted to keep their culture and their culture included slavery. In public the confederate flag is racist so if someone is not racist and he is flying the confederate flag he is just sending mixed messages. Symbols have very strong power

It sure seems like hypocrisy to say we can’t fly the Confederate flag because it offends people, when you fly the gay flag, which certainly offends significant amount of people. Who gets to decide which flag is allowed to fly and which ones can’t? It may be true some racists have used the Confederate flag, but racists also wave the American flag. So another words the Confederate is NOT racists, us Americans also wave around a flag (the American flag) so why should us American say it is racist that they are waving around their flag when we are waving around our own flag. They have the right to wear and or wave around the Confederate flag it is up to how they feel about it. To try to erase any piece of history regarding the Civil War would be

Do you want America to be a label of controversy and disagreement?Do you want pride and patriotism to just be a thing of the past? The Confederate Flag is one of the most controversial icons of American cultures,making it the reason of many disagreements in the country’s idea of right. Therefore it should be removed from public places because it has represented the melancholy history of war and slavery,a topic that should not regain power, however respect the individuals that keep it inside their property, leaving the decision to everyone that has different judgements.

For many years there have been discussion on whether the confederate flag should be flown, especially in the southern parts of the United States. There are several reasons why it is not morally acceptable to fly the flag, just like there are many problems with people using the N-Word. Both of these subjects contribute to racism; and as we move forward in fighting the battle of racism, the confederate flag and the N-Word should be a thing of the past.

The Confederate flag has recently been another hot button issue in education with the events that happened in South Carolina in the summer of 2016. That flag represents different things for different people. African Americans view the flag a symbol of racism and oppression. While white people from the south view it has a symbol of their southern spirit and a salt of the earth hardworking heritage. As this debate continues to wage on, one wonders if the period of Reconstruction is not over. What does one do in the educational setting? If the image of the Confederate flag disrupts the educational setting then it is the principal’s responsibility to make sure the symbol is not scene in school. By doing this some students may believe that their freedom of speech is being suppressed, but the law is on the side of the school districts when it comes to this issue.

Can the same flag that symbolizes southern heritage also be a symbol of hate? In 2015, a tragic shooting occurred at the Emanuel African Methodist Church in Charlestown, South Carolina. The Charleston shooter, Dylan Roof, was charged with killing nine African-Americans. After this horrible act, he waved the confederate flag in photographs sparking an issue with the flag. Two articles were released concerning whether or not the confederate flag should be removed from the South Carolina capitol. The first article, “Take Down the Confederate Flag, Symbol of Hatred”, was released by The New York Times editorial board on June 22, 2015. This article proposed that the flag should be removed. Following the release of this article, on June 24, 2015 “Keep the Confederate Flag Flying” was released by Selwyn Duke claiming the flag should remain. In these articles, both authors incorporated persona, audience, tone and style to effectively argue whether or not the flag should remain to Americans who may side with their argument.

The politically correct movement is made

Political correctness has become increasingly obvious in our daily lives. For example, the other day I attended the first meeting of the Frisbee Club here on the State University campus. During the meeting, we were discussing the fact we wanted shirts for this year, but we did not know what slogan to use.

Recently, quite a debate has emanated regarding the Confederate Flag. This debate has been taken from a simple ember to an all out wildfire, spreading across America, by events in recent months like the Charleston African-American church shooting and the subsequent removal of the flag from the South Caroline State Capitol. This debate has deep geographic ties from all the way back to the Civil War and what the flag stood for then and what the flag has stood for since. Each side of the debate has determined their position based on their collective memory of the flag. Whereas, one side of the argument sees the flying of the flag as a symbol of racism and hatred, the other sees the flying of the flag as preserving southern heritage with

Being politically correct is being able to speak about a problem or issue in such a way without offending any groups of people whether it’s religion or a race. If you are politically correct you can speak to both sides of the problem without sounding bias or for one side more than the other and speak with facts more than just speaking from your own opinion. For example, Jesse Williams touched on the issue of police brutality against black people during his acceptance speech at the BET Awards. In his speech he says, “[n]ow, what we’ve been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow manage to deescalate, disarm and not kill white people every day.” Later in his speech he states “I don’t want to hear anymore about how far we’ve come when [police officers] pull a drive-by on [a] [12-year-old] playing alone in the park in broad daylight…then going home to make a sandwich.” In that part of his speech he is saying there is still a lot to be done and yes we have overcome a lot but, there are still a lot to be done and we are far from it. He also says “[t]ell Rekia Boyd how it’s so much better than it is to live in 2012 than it is to live in 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner…Sandra Bland…Dorian Hunt.” In that quote he is comparing past and present and saying black people are still dealing similar inequality, prejudice, racist problems they had to deal with in the past and history is repeating
