Being drunk is easily noticeable the people the to walk tipsy and speak in an understandable manner. These type of people should always be avoided because these types of people tend to not use their logic when they are intoxicated. People who are drunk tend to be more aggressive if they don't get the attention they want or who they want. I have been a witness to drunk people starting fights with a people with their girlfriends or wifes. These drunk people always harassed the other person's girlfriend or boyfriend. A fight always breaks out when the other person's partner stand up to defend their partner. All these types of fights and confrontations can be avoided if a person could read people better. If a person could see the type of tattoo a person has and knows it belongs to a gang he might want to stay away to avoid a dangerous situation. Another way you might be able to read a person would be with how they speak, if they use foul language to insult people indirectly. Rivera,

Even Dr. David Stillwell admits, “Swearing is often inappropriate but it can also be evidence that someone is telling you their honest opinion. Just as they aren't filtering their language to be more palatable, they're also not filtering their views”(Study finds link between swearing and honesty, Phys.org).…

Having tattoos shouldn’t be considered against social norms and value because tattoo should be looked as freedom of speech or of expression. In Ronald P. White’s article “The Art, the First Amendment and the Courts” helps demonstrates how tattoos and the art of tattooing are forms of pure expression fully protected by the 1st Amendment which helps protects freedom of speech. People get tattoos to tell one’s story to the world through a visual representation of an important moment, person…

It is clear to everyone that the “N” word carries clear historical significance both good and bad. It was said by Caucasians to insult African-Americans and legitimized abuse that also dehumanized many people in their lifestyle, opportunities, word and education and children. But to them by banning use of the “N” word completely will cause the harm of people actually forgetting the significance of the word as a tool of domination.…

Steven Pinker did research in profanity use and found that swear words, such as ‘fuck’, appear frequently in certain contexts and can play a different range of functions (Wang). One of these functions that can apply to any other profanity word is using profanity can be a person’s way of keeping their emotions deep down inside because otherwise without profanity they could show a form of weakness. For instance, during his first tour while riding in the HMMVW (Humvee) his commander in chief states, “Let’s be safe and get our asses back home”. His commander in chief uses profanity to keep the seals from getting emotional about going back home to their…
