If you had to take a survey on all of the teenagers of this year, how would you rate their cursing level, from 1-10? Mine would be ten. As almost every other word out of a teen's mouth is a cuss word, the shock value is dropping dramatically. Even elementary school children are cursing now. Every single country has its own set of swear words. In other, shorter terms, curse words create societies of evil and loss of innocence.
Did you know?... According to deseretnews.com, the average teen swears 80-90 times a day. A lot of the time, is not even remotely surprising, unless it is one of the most unlikeliest of children. Most of this, experts say, is at school. According to metroparent.com, teens swear because they want to display their level of maturity. If it is a boy, it is most possible that this is to impress a girl he fancies. Some people think that only kids who were supposedly “not taught to not swear” swear. This assumption, however, is sadly unreliable. The kids who are brought up well and are supposedly “perfect angels” around adults are the ones who are contemptible

I don’t know about every other human being on this planet, but I think that this tops all as the saddest incident ever to happen on Earth. Your childhood is supposed to be the happiest time of your life ; the time when you are protected from the evils of the world. That is supposed to be the time, when you are older, you wish you could travel in time : to be a child again. But now, curse words have come into the picture. 10-year old children have been heard cursing in public places such as the school bus. The stereotype of a child is changing. Parents are telling their children more than they should know. In modern days, children are no longer viewed as innocent ; they are viewed as annoying little burdens(or at least that’s how most people think). If this wasn’t enough, EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY has its own designated list of swear
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.
“Cognitive Scientist puts Profanity in its place.” is Written by Bruce Bower, about the book “What The F” by Benjamin Bergen. In his book he explains what effect profanity as on us. Also how much is reveals about us. It talks about how swearing tells so much about who we are, and who other people are. Swearing can also tell us so much about human language and thoughts. Children are also much more resilient to profanity than people think. Hearing a parent or someone swear, it can cause exposure to violent thought or verbal abuse.
Besides literal uses for cuss words (as verbs), over two-thirds of all swearing is linked in expressing some kind of emotional connotation. These help with expressing the speaker’s anger, frustration, and surprise (“son of a bitch”, “f*ck me!”, “holy shit!”) which are done in emotional outbursts of these single words, also known as epithets. In addition profanity has a direct connection with emotional response in that when one utters one of these “worser words” it helps increase heart rate and work as an analgesic, showing how it can help manage emotional pain as it has a direct connection. One such emotional connection could be noted in the use of “FUBAR” (F*ucked up beyond all recognition) in the movie Saving Private Ryan to help the convey the soldiers emotions in how sick of they were of the war. Commonly physical fights take place to help express emotional pain or anger, these are normally avoided by voicing this anger through these taboo words. For example one can use name calling (bitch, asshole), or curse in the form of a put down (eat shit and die) all spur emotional responses and can help avoid physical confrontations by giving a voice to inner feelings. This is commonly seen in rap songs where many cuss words are used to unveil inner feelings. Such the rap group NWA used
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
Forensic science consists of a variety of fields such as in this case Forensic Pathology, Toxicology, and Biology were used to help solve the murder. Forensic Pathology was used to determine the cause of death by conducting an autopsy on the Johnson body. Coming to a conclusion, that Denise Johnson’s cause of death was due to asphyxiation (also known as strangulation)2,9. The pathology unit also determined that her death was a forced and violent death. Given the facts of how the victim died it provides the officers with an idea on how the murder was committed. Secondly Forensic toxicology is the use of toxicology, pharmacology, clinical chemistry and analytical chemistry to help legal and medical investigation of poisoning, death, and drug use. A drug test was conducted on Johnson’s body in order to evaluate the type and amount of illegal or legal drugs that were taken. A drug test can normally detect all prescription drugs, and as well as alcohol and illegal drugs such as, cocaine, heroin, morphine, codeine, antidepressants and phencyclidine. According to Johnson’s toxicology reports, the only drug found in her body was heroine9. Lastly to have a better understanding of the case, it was important to know what had happened to Denise. Therefore the forensic biology unit conducted a rap kit to determine if Johnson was sexually assaulted. The forensic biology division is responsible for applying their biology knowledge to the law enforcement, which also includes forensic

People in high school are mature enough to handle a song with cuss words in them. They aren’t going to overreact mainly since they already heard these words before somewhere. In public/middle school, students would freak out and be childish about it, but in high school, they’d maintain their cool and stay calm during the situation. Cussing is a normal thing after you reach the age 15. (Cuss words
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!”),
I'm asking this question because the general or present definitions of these words lead to insults, racism, sexism, and overall; discrimination. I’m going to talk about the research on how these words became this way and originated over the years. I’m also going to talk about others views and opinions on whether or not curse words should be a thing. (4 sentences)
Everyday we read and hear profanity from books which we should shelter our children from having to learn more about the awful things we have in life. Having profanity in our everyday lives affects us in a negative way because if our children hear the foul language then there is a greater chance that children will pick up the words we would not like them to say. In the article “Potty-Mouthed” by Martin Chilton, states that swearing in Young Adult fiction is a controversial and complex issue. Young Adult fiction is controversial issue because some parent let their children read books that other parents would not agree with based on the language, violence, suicied and sexualactivity. A lot of teenage books have very mature points of view that some or most of our teens can not even
In high school swearing was a sign of maturity and ‘fitting in’. I remember yelling abuse at someone who tripped me over at one time. Did that help the situation? Considering the location (outside the teachers’ staff room) it could very easily have escalated the situation. Did it make me feel better? No. Why then do we continue to swear as we grow older? Are we still trying to fit in as high school students? Are we still as immature as we were back then? These questions can only really be answered by the reader.
Several research studies have hypothesised that hyperthermia significantly potentiates the effects of radiation therapy on tumors. However, some scholars argue that radiation therapy and hyperthermia works independently during the management of tumors. The primary goal of hyperthermia in colorectal cancer management is to produce temperatures that range above 41-42 degrees centigrade. Temperatures above these levels have been seen to have a direct cytotoxic effect on tumor cells, as well as healthy cells. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy can be described as a highly concentrated and heated chemotherapy management, which is directly administered to into the abdomen during surgical procedures. Unlike the conventional chemotherapy administration
Abortion is one of the most controversial topics of today. It is defined as the voluntary act of ceasing a pregnancy. The very core of abortion is inhumane and dehumanizing, yet it has become quite popular in contemporary society. This topic has caused an uproar in society as individuals debate over the morality of having abortions. Abortion at any time during a pregnancy should be illegal.
Around the world today, there are 2,700 languages with over 7,000 individual dialects spoken. The English language alone has approximately 171,476 words and throughout the day, a person utilizes around 16,000 of them. Walking through a crowded school hallway decorated with banners and filled with chatter, every once in awhile a person hears a snippet of someone else’s conversation. Two teenage boys stand by a group of lockers, a few words made out include- “slut” and “whore.” Walking further into the school, a group of students pass by, one of them calling out to another with a racial slur. Turning the corner before entering a classroom, another group of students blast a rap filled with violent lyrics and degrading comments.
