Слайд 1Political Correctness


Слайд 2
Language, or behavior, which is claimed to be calculated to provide

a minimum of offense, particularly to the racial, cultural, or other identity groups being described

Слайд 3
Term “PC” is hotly contested
Identity politics (gay rights, feminism, multiculturalism, disability

rights)
“gender-neutral” job titles: lineworker vs lineman, chairperson vs chairman, differently abled vs disabled, Native American vs Indian

Слайд 4
Modern concept arose in 1970’s-80’s: socially acceptable for women and non-Caucasians

to pursue lifestyles that had been previously been held (nearly) exclusively by Caucasian men, such as senior management position within a large corporation.

Слайд 5
English language must change its male-centered nouns such as “chairman” to

more inclusive terms such as “chairperson”


Слайд 6
Using “person with a disability” or preferably “differently abled” in preference

to “handicapped” or “crippled”; “mentally ill” in preference to “crazy”

Слайд 7
Belief based on Sapir-Whorf hypothesis: language’s grammatical categories shape its speakers’

ideas and action

Слайд 8
The objective was (and remains) to bring peoples’ unconscious biases into

awareness, allowing them to make more informed choices about their language and making them aware of things different people might find offensive

Слайд 9Goal of changing language
Certain people have their rights, opportunities, or freedoms

restricted due to their categorization as members of a group with a derogatory stereotype

Слайд 10Goal of changing language
This categorization is largely implicit and unconscious, and

is facilitated by the easy availability of labeling terminology

Слайд 11Goal of changing language
By making the labeling terminology problematic, people are

made to think consciously about how they describe someone

Слайд 12Goal of changing language
Once labeling is a conscious activity, individual merits

of a person, rather than their perceived membership in a group, become more apparent

Слайд 13
Language’s grammatical categories control its speakers’ possible thoughts
Ways in which we

see the world may be influenced by the kind of language we use
Sexist language promotes sexist thought

Слайд 14
Members of identity groups sometime embrace terms that others seek to

change
Deaf culture has always considered the label “Deaf” as an affirming statement of group membership and not insulting

Слайд 15
Term now substituted for term “deaf” is “hearing impaired”
Developed to include

people with hearing loss due to aging, accidents, and other causes
Considered highly derogatory by many deaf people

Слайд 16
Term “Hard of Hearing” however, is considered an acceptable descriptive term

for a person who has limited to no hearing

Слайд 17
New terms are often awkward
Substitutes for the original stark language concerning

differences such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and political views

Слайд 18
Some argue that political correctness amounts to censorship and endangers free

speech
Politically correct terminology can be used to soften concepts that would be unacceptable in normal language

Слайд 19
Conservatives often view many politically correct terms as being linguistic cover

for an evasion of personal responsibility
“juvenile delinquents” become “children at risk”
“Illegal aliens” become “undocumented workers”

Слайд 20
Political correctness can often detect offensive language when there is none
“herstory”

instead of “history”


Слайд 21
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
Newspeak
“bad” replaced by “ungood” and the

concept of “freedom” has been eliminated over time

Слайд 22
If humans cannot form the words to express the ideas underlying

a revolution, then they cannot revolt
