Political Correctness And Its Effects On Society

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

Politically correct language has become huge movement in modern society. There are words that have gone through numerous changes such as “shellshock” going through many changes finally being to what it is known as today as “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” as best described the late George Carlin. Today there are large groups that urge political correctness to the masses in an attempt to end discrimination against gender, race, and sexuality. In “The Word Police” by Michiko Kakutani, the author writes about how political correct language is more focused on the words itself rather than the content behind. As progressive as it may seem, political correctness threatens a free society.

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

     Political correctness is beneficial because t protects people feelings. For example an anti semitic person cannot outright do ah9rm against Jews because of the political correctness. Others would not know how they may feel about Jews.

Not only does political correctness limit language, it limits competition between groups. For example the competition between the upper and lower class for power would cease if we were made to be politically correct. We need the upper and lower class for our society to function correctly. Without competition society can not thrive, and the philosophy of political correctness attempts to make people equals which effectively blocks individual success thus eliminating any motive to take the risks necessary to succeed. How can a person move up in this world with out stepping on others, and every time someone steps on someone else they will use methods or words that could be taken as politically incorrect. It is the nature of capitalism and democracy to have competing groups which ultimately leads to a separation of the bourgeoisie and proletariat or the upper and lower class. This is the greatest good a capitalistic democratic society can reach because the factions are not permanent; the members of each group are free to move

Political correctness is a concept encouraged in the simplicity of technology. And perhaps, it is political correctness which tears apart and inhibits the expression of the self, leading to suppression and depression. Technology is the vector by which expression can be allowed or burned into ashes.

Political correctness in the United States is often seen as killing the country. From the point of view of republicans, it is believed that political correctness is more like a sort of Manchurian candidate which has been unleashed by the Democrats in order to undermine the establishment of conformity and mediocrity. The political correctness also often results in the downfall of the country. There are resulting declining educational standards along with the inability to have the security of jobs and also the resultant diminished American within the current modern world. The political correctness also seems to be taking over the entire American society which is evident when 5 of the Californian students were however sent back home

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.

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

In recent history, Australian politics has skated on thin ice when dealing with aboriginal history. The increased support and reconciliation directed towards aboriginals is seen at times as been merely superficial. It is argued by the majority of apologist’s historians that the actions of modern day politicians are heavily influenced by a phenomenon called political correctness . The oxford dictionary describes political correctness as ‘the avoidance of terms of expression or actions that are perceived to exclude, marginalize or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against. Generally political correctness is seen as having a pernicious impact on society and whilst the original intent of political correctness

The feeling of discrimination and subordination, the idea of judged by race and by who you are, the fear of being eliminated. Why? Why do many of these thoughts still exist today? Has political correctness gone mad? Well, the answer is yes. Many of us, no matter who we are or where we are, still experience the feeling of discrimination and being lost, the idea of being judged by race and who you are, and the fear of elimination, whether it be in real life scenario or maybe even a friend group at school. The point here is that these awful parts of life still exist today and are sadly continuing to progress. In The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli,

Male and female are different: hardly earth - shattering news was written by Boris Johnson, the current mayor of London and former journalist. This article demonstrates Johnson’s stance on Political Correctness, the world-famous disgraced scientist, Tim Hunt and how we are failing to recognize that both sexes are emotionally different and that their true potential shall not be unlocked until we can handle and compensate for gender differences. In my own opinion, I agree with Boris in the sense that we should begin to understand that there are differences and of late, political correctness has begun to infringe upon free speech. On the other hand, he has missed the point of Hunt’s off-hand comment.

Political correctness is cultural Marxism. Marx, as cited in Introduction to Social Science course guide, believed that if people were left to work on their own they would be more efficient. He had an ideological belief that laborers could actually want
