Part 1
The political correctness is the language intervention used in the description of the
measures and the policies applied to make sure that offenses and disadvantages of certain groups
in the society are avoided. It is the process used since the 1980s as a way of avoiding the
language and some sort of behaviors which exclude, insulting and discriminating a group of
disadvantaged individuals in the society. It is related to the discrimination against the race or sex.
When it comes to the media, the political correctness is described as pejorative simply meaning
that they are totally unwarranted practices (Hale & Basides, 2013). Considering nowadays
political correctness, it is considered as an act of very strict adherence and acceptance of political
orthodoxy. It is believed that the process of political correctness has gone to different direction.
In reference to the political correctness responses, it promotes the social victimhood within the
society. In the same time, it limits the society so much in discussing the controversial issues
within. Some people consider political correctness as kind of a threat to political rights of speech.
Some other people do think political correctness is a kind of bad culture due to various reasons.
They do associate political correctness as the practice limited speech within the society. The
individual who totally expresses political correctness is considered to be denying others their
right to express themselves. This has left the argument about political correctness to be a flaw.
In my point of argument I think political correctness does not necessarily mean freedom of
speech is criticized but I think it means simply no one can be silenced.
