POLITICAL
CORRECTNESS
(PC)
Political correctness (PC), term used to refer to language that
seems intended to give the least amount of offense, especially
when describing groups identified by external markers such as
race, gender, culture, or sexual orientation.
The concept has been discussed, disputed, criticized, and satirized
by commentators from across the political spectrum. The term has
often been used derisively to ridicule the notion that altering
language usage can change the public’s perceptions and beliefs as
well as influence outcomes.

HOW TO BE
POLITICALLY
CORRECT
"Politically correct" is a bit of a misnomer—it isn't about being right;
it's about being respectful and considerate. Being politically correct
means that you avoid expressions and actions that may exclude, marginalize,
or offend a particular group of people.
The term first became popular during the 1970s and 1980s. Political correctness
has an important purpose: it promotes equality by demonstrating an understanding
that all people and groups are valuable to society regardless of race, culture,
religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
