Define Political Correctness

Improved Essays
We have different skin colors and cultures and backgrounds. We have different shapes and sizes. These things are important to notice and identify as their lineage makes us feel connected and a part of something. But, scientifically speaking, we have only a single race. There isn’t a group that needs a helping hand, nor another that needs to be punished. It is political correctness, however, that forces us to see how we’re different, be it by sex or race, and to rush to judgement when someone is comfortable with their differences, even joking around about their various cultures and creeds.

Political correctness is the weak brainchild of the pussified. It’s what will destroy us as other cultures give a rat’s ass about political correctness.

We’re ignorant to this stuff. I know I am a lot of the time. I slide into being a little bitch when I complain or I look at another person’s life with envy or I sleep in or I don’t do the work that needs to be …show more content…
Their ancestry is filled with warriors. Men like Washington and Wallace, Napoleon and Tecumseh. The Vikings, the Scots, the Anglo Saxons, Romans, Chinese, Samurai, and Maori. The Spartans and Zande and Aztecs and Persians and Arabs and the Mongols. We all come from hunters and gatherers and are here only because some man in their lineage fought and defended his family better than the others.

We live in a society where we have to do very little. We can get away with laziness. We can very well thrive being little bitches. But we cannot truly experience the gift of life if we complain and quit, cower in fear and wilt under pressure. We cannot be free if we constantly succumb to fear.

Where we are strong and self-reliant, men and women are also free. Equality and economic freedom go hand in hand. Where an economy grows freely more people enjoy in the wealth.

Forget about society for a second, and focus on

    I agree with Dorothy Robert one hundred and ten percent. Race is a political grouping. It is not a biological category, so why do we make it one? There is scientific evidence to prove that people of all races are the same. “Chimpanzees have races; honeybees have races; we don’t have races.”…

    In the short story “Janus” by Ann Beattie we learn about our desires and dislikes with life through the character of Andrea and her ceramic bowl. Beattie heavily enunciates Andrea’s obsession with the bowl through the use of literary devices of symbolism, allegory, and tone. Beattie uses these tools to show how her relationship with the bowl displays her true desires. In the story the main example of symbolism would be the cream colored bowl she got at a crafts fair.…

    On the issue of politically correctness I think it will be interesting to look at it with respect to the topic of culture appropriation. To me the argument, of it being about freedom is trite and I feel like it only happens because someone says the action they may be doing is unacceptable. An example, to consider is the issue of Columbus Day that just passed. Before reading the assigned articles, I think it is important to consider first and foremost, the celebration of Columbus Day. Personally, I think we should not celebrate the misperception of Columbus.…

    Political correctness has gone too far To simply question the use of political correctness can get you marked as a target by large leftist groups. Political correctness is defined by dictionary.com as being “Marked by or adhering to a typically progressive orthodoxy on issues involving especially ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or ecology.” The term “politically correct,” while originally meaning to be in line with political doctrine, was adopted and popularized by the New Left in the 1970’s because of the essay “The Black Woman” by Toni Cade (Gary). The term is now almost exclusively associated with the authoritarian left.…

    Categorizing and identifying threat is part human defense mechanism which allowed humans to survive nature and evolve into the modern man. Identifying threat in nature allowed for better survival and by categorizing animals into dangerous or safe further improves the chances of survival. Unfortunately, this defense mechanism of categorizing and identifying threat in the modern world has shifted from animals to other humans. Describing someone based on their appearance is normal and it facilitates the recognition of that individual, but racism also developed due to natural tendency of humans categorizing subjects. In America, the land in which everyone is created equal, there is a clear evidence that equality between races may just be an ideology…

    All throughout time, people have been divided due to their differences. People who see others that are different from them will often immediately decide that they are “weird” and put those people lower than themselves. According to Linda Holtzman and Leon Sharpe in their passage, “Theories and Constructs of Race,” Race is just a social construct made by humans to exclude people based on what they look like, where they are from, their culture, etc. If scientists were to look at someone’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) compared to another person with, say, different colored skin, they would notice that there is not much of a difference between the two people. Therefore, as Holtzman and Sharpe say, “race is constructed socially, culturally, politically,…

    The term political correctness as it is known today was first coined in the United States by feminist groups and other left-wing movements. Defining political correctness can be challenging as it is a phrase that has roots dating back to its first usage in 1793 (citation). Since then it has evolved and changed to be defined as “the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against” (citation). Donald Trump, the president elect, has made the claim that political correctness has been one of the biggest inhibitors to change and progress in the United States of America. This is flawed.…

    Political correctness is a problem that has swept over America in recent years. Every word anyone says in all walks of life, from politics, to business, to school, has become politically correct to avoid hurting anyone’s feelings.

How is the term “politically correct” defined exactly?…
