Summary

• Languages change with the time, as the
  society changes, language changes as well.
  Nowadays, people accept politically correct (or
  PC) language. These languages are more respectful
  than the languages we used to use. For example, a
  waiter or a waitress now prefers to be called
  a server.

• PC English goes beyond gender. It also
  includes issues of race and disabilities. For
  example, a person with a disability sounds
  better than handicapped. If we dont want to
  offend others, its best to try to avoid the
  words that are non-PC.

Reflection

• Politically Correct English is commonly
  used nowadays. It not only includes the issues of
  gender but also race and disabilities. That is
  why many English words have been replaced by more
  polite and respectful ones.

• Lets take some examples the person who
  puts off the fire is called firefighter instead
  of fireman. When we see a black walks on the
  road, we had better call him or her
  African-American. Otherwise, he or she may feel
  offended. Moreover, a person with a visual
  disability is much better than a blind.

• As society changes, so does our language.
  Although, PC English is a little complicated,
  its the best way to make language more
  respectful to all people.
