The First Amendment does not protect fighting words because those words are likely to cause violence by the person to whom the words are spoken (Hall, 2015). Laws that govern speech must be drafted concisely so they do not interfere with constitutional rights, and the Supreme Court has carefully defined fighting words as those that inflict injury, tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace, or by their nature will produce a violent reaction by a person who hears them (Hall, 2015, p. 194). The primary purpose of the fighting words law is to prohibit the intended conduct of an ensuing physical altercation or a breach of the peace (Hall, 2015). References Hall, D. E. (2015).

Profanity is something that everyone has dealt with at some point in their life. The wall street journal says, “At street level and in popular culture, Americans are freer with profanity now than ever before.” In a day and age where Americans are comfortable using profanity, it must be analyzed as to where it is appropriate to use profanity.

Children learn words good and bad at a very constant yet rapid pace. Parents probably did not know that children know a large number of swear words by the time they are five years old. This is mind blowing to think about because people do not think about children knowing these words. They learn these words from people they look up to like parents, peers, and they can hear them on television. They can also hear profanity just in the general public.…

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. Everybody is a victim and everybody gets butthurt at the simplest words or phrases that come out of a guy’s mouth. The American society as an entirety has become too politically correct, from the politics of our government, to the businesses of our economy and the people who represent them, and to the classrooms of our nation’s high schools, colleges, and universities.
