Writing due to a process of assimilation that will lead to a monotony of language, without a diversity of expression being able to emerge in the various writings. As in a boarding school, writers will be educated, trained, indoctrinated. Political correctness in writing leads to censorship To what extent can we talk about politically correct writing? And when we talk about censorship? Because banning the use of some words and expressions means censorship. In an article in English it was said to pay attention to the words we use when there may be people of different ethnic groups around us.
Among the various examples, the use of expressions such as "thank God" was discouraged, so as not to offend the sensitivity of those who profess a different religion. The fact is that each ethnic group has its own precise communication and cannot ignore its own geographical Phone Number Data origin and its own ideas when speaking and writing. It is the context that counts, the individual becomes a context that contains his entire history: his country of origin, his cultural level, his age, his opinions. All this is part of the individual, it is his treasure and no one has the right to demolish what makes him distinct from others. Consider the writer's intent, beyond language Has anyone ever wondered why a writer used that word and not another? Mark Twain was not racist and the "nigger" of him was used because it was historically relevant to that social context and not with racist and discriminatory intentions.
Mark Twain was far from being a racist. Russell Smith, The Legend of Mark Twain . Reading some novels I found purely chauvinist phrases. They affected me and I'm a man, so I imagine a woman might be more deeply affected. But what was the intent of the authors? The first “case” comes from Arthur Conan Doyle: You should never trust women too much, even the best ones! – The sign of the four. Perhaps this phrase was uttered by Sherlock Holmes himself, I don't remember now. But we are in the 19th century and the speaker is a man. Male chauvinism can be as wrong as you want, but that phrase is part of a male character, therefore relevant to the context.
