My Indian Culture

The national identity of Australia has also developed strangely when dealing with taboo, especially with the younger Australians. Many youths no longer find many profanities as rude or taboo as the older generations, in particular with words like “fuck”, “shit” and “bloody” which used to be packed with a certain punch. In fact, many of these words are actually used as interjections (“Shit! No way!”),

Conventionally schools are trying to promote success and positive student image. Using profanity in the classroom through literature can promote a negative mentality.

Many people used to think that their heritage means nothing to them, but for me it means a lot. Growing up my family would always talk in Spanish or they would talk about how they love being Mexican, but I never fully understood why being Mexican was so important to my family. One day I decided to sit down with my parents, and ask them why is our Mexican heritage so important? They would tell me all sorts of stories such as: how they were apart of a dance group called Ballet Folklorico De Topeka, my mom would always tell me how she likes listening/singing to music. Me personally Mexican music is so much better than songs in English. Why I say that is because Mexican music is so much more poetic.

Despite that students now use profanity in their public schools and even more out of school, this could cause more children and teens to use the offensive language around their peers.

Situations dictate the type of language people use on a daily basis. People use careful language because they don’t want to be perceived as the bad guy. They are afraid of offending somebody, which nowadays is more

Inappropriate language can change the meaning of a message or something you want to say, making a negative impact on the listener which can cause distress and trouble. Using unsuitable language reflects on you character as disrespectful and rude. This language can be reduced by trying to ignore language such as swearing and aggressiveness as much as possible. Try to control your speech whilst communication especially if it is formal communication within a workplace or

The person who I am is composed of hundreds of identities, being a sister, a daughter, a student, a woman, conversely, one identity transcends others- being Hispanic.

In the 20th century of course, it has become extremely offensive. It, along with cunt are just about the only taboo words in American discourse today (it's interesting that the most offensive terms have strong racial or gender discrimination components). About the only acceptable use is in Black English when African-Americans use it to refer to themselves.

Profane language weakens a student's communication skills because they have limited vocabulary which leads to using improper language. Kim Asch, an author of an article writes profane language is over used in schools. The article states, "Swearing is not only bad manners, Mr. O'Connor says, it's poor communication that shows a lack of imagination and a limited vocabulary. And in a time when even students can be accused of sexual harassment, the earlier they clean up their vocabulary the better." In the moderate days, people has been very sensitive with many of these words used by students in school because many people do not appreciate this behavior.

What I learned most through Albany field trip is about history. First, we went to Iroquois Indian Museum. I haven’t studied Native American in my home country. One of the tribes is called Iriquois Indian. When I looked around the museum, I thought its culture has some similarities with Japanese culture for the following reasons. First, I was surprised that there were a lot of ornaments of turtle or woman in the museum and there is a tale about woman and turtle. Japanese also respect the turtle because it regards as a symbol of longevity. The ornament of woman represents for fertility. In the tale that Iriquois people believe, they think the turtle helps skywoman, who fell from the sky, and made the Earth. So women are powerful than men. As

My culture artifact is the Hina doll because it is a tradition in Japan to decorate with them for the Hinamatsuri. The Hinamatsuri is also known as "girls day". This is on March 3, and you wish girls good health and future happiness. The Hinamatsuri's origin was during the Heian period. The people would set afloat straw hina dolls and sent it down a river, which led to an ocean. This was used to take bad spirits away. The hina dolls are displayed on a hina dan. The hina dan is covered with a red carpet and the dolls are displayed on it. On the top is the imperial dolls ,which are the Emperor and the Empress. On the second platform holds the three court ladies. They are holding equipment for sake, a Japanese drink. On the third platform are

Stated in the website of Teen Ink about the profanity "We would not be learning the true history if certain pieces of it and little details were ignored or left behind. In order to understand history to its most, we must learn from our mistakes and realize what we have done wrong. All language is beautiful in the right context" ("Should Of Mice"). With the use of profanity, young audiences can gain the knowledge and understand the history behind the words and why those words were used frequently at the time. This is significant for the young audiences to learn and to know that they must learn from the mistakes of using profanity and learning from it so that those words can't be repeated. This is also supported through the knowledge of racial slurs and offensive language in Teen Ink as the site states "If people do not read, learn, and understand how African-Americans were treated in the past, then history will most likely repeat itself. We must learn and understand our mistakes, in order to prevent them in the future" ("Should Of Mice"). With audiences exposed to offensive language and profanity at a young age, they would learn that these words are not appropriate and would likely not use these words. If young audiences don't gain the knowledge of these words, then history will repeat itself with people using the derogatory words. This also

The most notable reason that gives people the chance to cuss is when they are in pain. Pain brings out words so quickly that people do not intend on even saying. For instance, imagine someone is building wall and drops an eighty pound retaining wall block on his or her foot. Most likely the first word out of his or her mouth is going to be a swear word of some sort. A person may scream a single swear word or might say a few. The best example of this is just plain "SHIT". Along with having pain, anger brings the worst out of people and causes these, so called, bad words. "When angry count four; when very angry,

In the world we live in today even mouthing the word “nigger” can silence a room. Why is that? Why does a word that has changed its definition drastically over hundreds of years still have people reluctant to use or acknowledge it? Many would debate its derogatory demeanor, its context , and its user to judge its use to be socially acceptable or morally disgusting. When can this slur be used? When is it acceptable and when is it out of line?

Also sometimes I use slang words when speaking with my friends. The slang words I use are usually words I pick up from friends. I use these words when I am speaking so I feel closer to them and l accepted, as I speak like one of them. I would never use slang in front of my parents because of the way I fear they may see me. In culture using slang words gives the impression that you are unintelligent and uneducated.
