Research Paper On Political Correctness

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

By enforcing a limit such as political correctness, people having differing opinions and backgrounds are able to refrain from offending one another through their use of certain lexical terms. Even though political correctness is viewed in some cases as being linguistically-restrictive among many people, members of society are somewhat expected to use these terms as a means of being polite. This form of language is a necessity being that some attitudes portrayed through certain aspects of language are considered taboo and otherwise offensive. An anonymous contributor commented their opinion to Debate.org about political correctness being a ‘necessary’ part of our language on the grounds

However, many groups claim that political correctness in society is justified in its efforts to sanitize offensive material created though years of oppressing minorities. What was originally a noble idea, to remove blatant words of offensive meaning, has turned into an “over the top” effort to rid any words of possible controversy. We are regulating our ways of plain speaking, freedom of choice, and freedom of speech. Laws of restrictions on slander and public decency should be decided on the common law methodology and not by the interests of the liberal “mob”. If plain speaking is not allowed, clear thinking is

On November 9, it was announced that Donald Trump would be president. This essay isn’t entirely about Donald Trump, but rather about one of the reasons why he was elected: he’s not afraid to “tell it like it is” rather than worry about being politically correct. One of the complaints from the millions of people who voted for Trump is that America is too politically correct, almost to the point that it infringes on free speech. Whether this is true or not is debatable.

According to the Word Police,  political correctness has some disadvantages. In each case , “the would be censor aspires to suppress what he or she finds distasteful   all of course in the name of public good” So this does limit what you have to say.Another Speaking out could cause violence or squabbles.

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.

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

Our nation has entered a period where it is becoming increasingly more acceptable to allow censorship for the sake of people’s feelings. This new idea that nothing should be said to cause offense, or distress, to another person is becoming as widespread as to even enter the classrooms of some universities, which now limit what can be discussed (Lukianoff and Haidt, 1). These hypersensitive Americans are beginning to flood into our nation with the belief that we should all care about how people feel about a certain topic. However, the fortunate truth is that we do not and will never care about anyone else’s sensitivity to a topic so much that we limit how express ourselves. The American constitution purposely gives Americans the freedom of speech and expression so that we may cause offense to other people, for the sake of having everyone’s opinions voiced.

There has been an increase of “political correctness” in the United States over the past few decades, many think that this increase is a sign of a more liberal and progressive country, others believe that this is holding citizens to an unreal standard for how they interact with each other. Authors Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt explain the fine line between asking a legitimate question or voicing a realistic opinion and trying to be offence or stating a microaggression. They claim that a microaggression can be anything simple from saying “America is the land of the free” to something truly awful like telling an asian person “aren’t you supposed to be good at math”.

Political correctness ruins the ability to progress by ending self-expression. Before political correctness drove freedom to the cliff’s edge, it’s intentions were positive. In Ben O’neil’s article “A Critique of Politically Correct Language,” he discusses how the once good goals of political correctness have created bad results. “The purpose and effect of politically correct language are to prevent bullying

In an article from the Baylor Lariat on November 30th of 2015 entitled “Politically Intolerant: Political Correctness More about Not Hurting Feelings”, an unidentified author claims that having a differing opinion than someone else is nothing to be ashamed of; that people need to be more tolerant of such opinions when voiced, and not worry about hurting people’s feelings by stating facts. The article drew attention to an example of oversensitivity in society in reference to Bruce Jenner’s transformation from a male to a female of the name Caitlyn Jenner. The example the author chose occurred in the comedy television show South Park, and their use of Caitlyn as a character in one of their episodes, where viewers felt offended by their lack

In recent years, the world has seen a huge jump in the fight to be politically correct. Sensitivity to discrimination or topics that are found offensive/traumatizing, has heightened causing a major shift in how people interact on a day to day basis. The effects of this revolution of sorts can be seen especially on the internet and in spaces of academia. Buzzwords like microaggression and trigger warnings are now frequently heard in college classrooms and have raised questions about the ability of professors to effectively teach and prepare their students for the real world. The terrain of this subject is still fairly new and uncharted so I have created a set of win-win guidelines that I believe will help students and faculty navigate this subject

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.
