This document discusses political correctness and provides examples. It defines political correctness as attempting to understand and include people with different views. Examples are given of politically correct terminology for various groups compared to incorrect terminology. Implementing political correctness in the workplace includes educating employees, making people comfortable, and explaining plans clearly. Both benefits and downsides are discussed.
This document discusses political correctness and related terminology. It explores how language has evolved to be more inclusive of different racial, ethnic, religious, gender, disability and age groups. Specifically, it provides examples of terms that were previously used but are now seen as offensive, and suggested replacement terms that are considered more politically correct like using "African American" instead of "black" or "Latino/Latina" instead of "Hispanic". The document also discusses how language has become more gender neutral and inclusive of disabilities.
Political Correctness As A Modern Trend In LanguageAnna
Political correctness refers to language and policies that seek to avoid offense or discrimination. It aims to be inclusive of all groups by avoiding stereotypes and using neutral terms. However, some argue it can limit open discussion. Euphemisms are terms that replace offensive words, but often the euphemisms themselves become taboo over time in a continual linguistic process. There is also debate around gender-neutral and inclusive language usage.
This document discusses taboo language and political correctness. It notes that as social values change, so too do taboo words. Sexual references may still offend but have less power than in the past. Political correctness aims to remove discriminatory language to change perceptions and raise awareness of marginalized groups, based on the idea that language shapes thought. However, others argue language reflects existing biases, and changing language alone is not enough without broader social changes. The document evaluates differing perspectives on the issue.

It notes that historically men have held power over women in society, and language often mirrored this relationship by using derogatory terms for women and associating masculine terms with courage and strength. While the strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that language determines thought has been discredited, the weak version that language can influence some aspects of thought is still accepted. The document questions whether changing language can help reduce prejudiced attitudes and argues that biased language reinforces prejudice.
Anti homophobia behaviour policy introductiontaz1990
This document provides information about tackling homophobia in schools. It defines homophobia as prejudice against gay people similar to racism. The document discusses how homophobia can include hurtful language, physical bullying, or gestures targeting someone for their perceived sexual orientation. Survey results from a school show that many students hear homophobic words used frequently and some have been directly called hurtful names. The school's behavior policy treats homophobic bullying seriously, with consequences like detentions or referrals depending on the severity of the incident.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are associated with certain stereotypes - conventional, formulaic generalizations, opinions, or images based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Stereotypical perceptions may be acquired through interactions with parents, teachers, peers and the mass media, or, more generally, through a lack of firsthand familiarity, resulting in an increased reliance on generalizations
The document discusses how language can promote stereotyping and sexism through the use of racist, stereotypical, and sexist terms. It provides examples of sexist language in words and proverbs, and how culture and theories of language acquisition may contribute to the use of sexist language. The document concludes that treating people equally and implementing equal practices will naturally lead to more inclusive, non-sexist language.
This document discusses the relationship between language and gender. It begins by defining the differences between sex and gender, noting that sex is biological while gender involves social and cultural roles. The document then examines various studies that have found differences in the ways men and women use language, such as differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, politeness levels, and topics of conversation. However, it also notes that views of gender differences in language usage are complex and have been challenged by some researchers. Overall, the document analyzes how language and concepts of masculinity and femininity can be intertwined.
This document discusses LGBT terminology and provides context around commonly used and misunderstood words. It explains that language evolves over time and certain words that were previously acceptable are now considered derogatory or inappropriate. It notes some words like "bent", "queer", and "homo" can be offensive. The document also discusses how using discriminatory language, whether verbally or online, could result in legal consequences if deemed racist, homophobic, or offensive towards those with disabilities. It encourages thinking about related news stories and concludes with basic information about LGBT people and history, as well as a pledge of respect and safety for all.
This document discusses creating an inclusive workplace for LGBTQ employees. It begins by explaining the benefits of pledging support for employees irrespective of attributes like gender or sexuality. It then provides information about Liberate, the only LGBTQ charity in the Channel Islands. The document discusses terminology, laws affecting workplaces, gender vs sexuality, and challenges like heteronormativity. It offers suggestions for making the workplace more inclusive through policies, leadership, and education. The goal is to create trust so LGBTQ employees feel comfortable being themselves at work and overcoming fears of discrimination.
The document provides guidelines for communicating in a bias-free manner to create an inclusive environment. It suggests paying attention to exclusionary language, assigning tasks based on ability rather than characteristics, and including diversity in leadership. Specific guidelines address avoiding stereotypes and limitations based on gender, race, ability status, sexual orientation, and age. The overall goal is to sensitively communicate so all people feel included. Offices are listed for seeking more assistance on inclusive communication.
This document is a training module on diversity awareness prepared by Dr. Lillie M. Fears. It is divided into four parts that discuss the definition of diversity, understanding culture and how it impacts one's job, and dealing with prejudice and stereotypes. The introduction explains that as the early childhood education classroom and workforce become more diverse, valuing diversity is important. It also notes that diversity now includes many more attributes beyond just race or gender.

This document provides an overview of workforce diversity as it relates to sexual orientation and gender identity. It begins with a poll asking participants about their personal experiences with LGBT individuals. Some key definitions are then presented, distinguishing between sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. The presenter shares some aspects of their own identity and discusses the concept of identity more broadly. The document also explores terminology within the LGBTQIA community and presents a hypothetical case study scenario to discuss approaches to handling conflicts related to gender identity in the workplace.
Here are some stone-cold facts that define the LGBT community. The community is composed of people who feel that their gender and sexuality are different from that of mainstream society. It is most important to realize that all people are extremely complex, and respecting diversity is of the utmost importance. The LGBT community has no clear boundaries and is being redefined every day. Terms are changing and definition are constantly evolving. The “secret” to working with this “uniquely perfect” population is to engage in preparatory empathy in order to avoid missing the whole person and their needs.
This document provides guidance on using inclusive and appropriate language to avoid offending or excluding people. It discusses the need to be sensitive with language regarding characteristics like gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and age. Specific terminology is highlighted that should be avoided or replaced with more inclusive terms to reflect diversity and promote equality. The overall message is that language affects how people are perceived and treated, so we should carefully examine our word choices and use terminology that respects individuals and does not discriminate.

The document provides guidance for comparing how language is used effectively in two different texts to achieve different purposes and effects. It emphasizes selecting specific words or phrases, commenting on their intended effects, and comparing their uses across the texts. For question 4, students should compare language features in two sources, giving examples and analyzing the effects. They are advised to make three or four detailed comparison points that move between the sources. The document also provides a sample structured response comparing the descriptive, reflective language in Source 1 with the casual, engaging language used in Source 3 to inform and persuade readers.
The document provides instructions for a language analysis task. It explains that students will compare how two texts use language techniques for effect. It emphasizes selecting examples of language from the texts, commenting on the effects of the examples, and comparing the language techniques between the texts. The document also provides guidance on developing high-quality comments that link language examples to their purpose and demonstrate understanding of the texts.
Steinbeck uses linguistic features to portray the relationship between George and Lennie in Chapter 1 of Of Mice and Men. George is depicted as protective yet frustrated with Lennie, who is childlike and relies on George. Their shared dream of owning a farm represents hope for the future, though its realisticity is uncertain. Steinbeck establishes their dynamic through verbs, adverbs, and imagery that highlight their differences yet deep loyalty to one another.
The document summarizes and analyzes Act 1 Scene 2 and Act 2 Scene 1 of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It discusses the establishment of the "old world" and "green world" settings and how they contrast. It also examines the characterization of Puck as mischievous and how Titania and Oberon's conflict mirrors events in Act 1. The fairy world is introduced with descriptions of the fairy's speech establishing its magical nature compared to the court and mechanicals' worlds.
The document provides a recap quiz on Act I Scene i of A Midsummer Night's Dream, testing comprehension on the setting, plot points, and characters introduced. It then analyzes how Northrop Frye's concept of the "old world" is established in the first scene through the restrictive rules imposed on Hermia by her father Egeus. Finally, it prompts analysis of how Scene ii contrasts with Scene i and the literary techniques of bathos and burlesque.
A Midsummer Night's Dream follows the typical structure of a Shakespearean comedy. It begins with harmony between the lovers in Athens before complications arise from unrequited love and misunderstandings in the forest. Disorder and chaos ensue as the lovers encounter magic and confusion. In the end, there is a resolution and restoration of order as the lovers are reunited after discarding their disguises and the magic wears off. The play contains both a main plot and subplots that mirror and comment on the themes of love and disorder being resolved.
Based on the information provided, A Midsummer Night's Dream appears to follow several patterns and engage with key ideas about Shakespearean comedy:
- The title and forest settings suggest it will involve the contrast between the everyday world and the magical, chaotic "other" world of the forest that allows characters to escape normal restraints.
- The inclusion of fairy characters like Oberon, Titania and Puck implies it will involve the supernatural/unearthly interfering in human affairs.
- The opening speeches establish a mood of celebration, revelry and merriment surrounding a wedding, aligned with ideas of festive comedy and holiday from normal order.
- The casting of both aristocratic and working-class characters indicates it may
This document discusses the philosophical problem of personal identity. It explores two main approaches to personal identity - physical continuity, which argues we are the same person if we have the same body, and psychological continuity, which argues we are the same person if we have the same memories and mental continuity. However, both approaches face challenges. The document examines various philosophers' thought experiments and arguments regarding these approaches and the difficulties in securing personal identity over time.
Chapter 5 is pivotal in The Great Gatsby as it depicts the long-awaited reunion between Gatsby and his lost love Daisy. Gatsby is anxiously anticipating their meeting. The chapter builds rising dramatic tension until their encounter, which is overwhelmed with emotion. However, cracks in Gatsby's perfect vision of the past resurface, symbolized by his knocking over Nick's clock. The rekindled romance and Gatsby's waning dream of recapturing lost love will have consequences that drive the plot forward.
Gatsby's mansion is located in West Egg on a large estate. At one of Gatsby's famous parties, Nick is able to finally meet Gatsby. He is struck by Gatsby's smile, which seems hopeful and reassuring. Though Gatsby throws lavish parties, he remains mysterious and keeps to himself, furthering the intrigue around his character and past among the other guests. The chapter builds anticipation around revealing Gatsby's secrets and the meaning behind his flashy displays of wealth.
This chapter introduces several important settings and characters in The Great Gatsby. It describes the valley of ashes, a symbol of moral and spiritual decay, and Tom Buchanan's lavish apartment in New York City. Tom's extramarital lover, Myrtle Wilson, lives in the valley with her husband George. At Tom's party, Nick is intrigued by the mysterious Jay Gatsby, who is the subject of wild rumors but has yet to appear. The chapter establishes Tom as arrogant and abusive towards Myrtle.
Fitzgerald uses various narrative techniques to establish characters and set the scene in Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby. He contrasts the East and West Eggs to represent the old and new money in 1920s New York society. Characters like Tom, Daisy, Jordan and the mysterious Gatsby are introduced, showing their personalities and relationships. The chapter is told from the perspective of the narrator, Nick Carraway, who acts as an observer of this world. The setting and characters begin to set up central themes of class, wealth, and the American Dream that will continue in the story.
Wuthering Heights can be interpreted and analyzed through different literary theories and genres:
1. It contains elements of a Gothic novel such as a brooding atmosphere, the supernatural, and characters driven by passion and ambition. However, it can also be read as a love story that focuses on the relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff.
2. Postmodern and feminist readings of the novel highlight its multiple perspectives, unreliable narrators, examination of gender roles and power dynamics, and questioning of social constructs.
3. Psychoanalytic and Marxist criticisms analyze the novel's exploration of psychological states, social contexts, and contradictions between characters and the systems they inhabit.
The repetitions in Wuthering Heights are complex and serve multiple purposes. They emphasize key ideas, show the struggle for identity across generations, highlight both similarities and differences between characters, illustrate what has been lost, and reveal that similar situations can have different outcomes depending on human values. Overall, the repetitions reflect the complex and ambiguous nature of the characters, relationships, and themes in this Gothic novel.
The document summarizes key aspects of place and setting in Gothic literature and Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights. It discusses how Gothic settings like abbeys, ruins, and wild landscapes were seen as crude and frightening in the 18th century. It then analyzes several important settings in Wuthering Heights, including the moors where Catherine and Heathcliff played as children, and how these settings symbolize the wild passions of the characters and play a role in the story.
The document discusses two common female stereotypes in Gothic literature - the trembling victim and the predatory femme fatale. The trembling victim is frail, innocent, and in need of saving. The predatory femme fatale is dangerous and sexually threatening. Gothic novels also began expressing more diverse female roles, particularly through expressing intense feelings that heighten terror. Catherine in Wuthering Heights is used as an example, expressing her tormented feelings at the thought of death surrounded by those who despise her. Ambivalence is at the heart of reading Gothic fiction, as female characters can be seen as fantasies of escape or emancipated women. The mother figure is also discussed as another stereotype that can be mon
The Gothic protagonist described is Heathcliff, the brooding and mysterious outsider at the center of Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights. Some key characteristics of Gothic protagonists mentioned include having a tragic stature, being influenced by past events, possessing considerable powers, and having a striking physical presence combined with a strongly sexual element. Satan from John Milton's Paradise Lost is cited as providing a model for Gothic characters, with his doomed nature after being cast out of heaven yet defiance in the face of God's power. The Byronic hero is also discussed as an archetype that influenced Gothic literature, typically being arrogant, cynical, and emotionally conflicted or moody individuals.
Catherine Linton is described as having a slender and admirable form with blonde flaxen hair. She is characterized as bold, fearless, high spirited and associated with sunshine. Her anger was never furious and her love was never fierce, though her spirit was high. By the end of the novel, Catherine has gained maturity, standing up to Heathcliff while also being kind towards Haerton by educating him and helping him gain property, showing the changes in her character over time.
Edgar is shown to be more feminine and sensitive compared to the other male characters. He is quickly irritated by Heathcliff but hides his true feelings from Catherine. Edgar seems naïve as he still wants to marry Catherine after her outburst, showing his submissive nature. His physical features and descriptions compare him unfavorably to Heathcliff, suggesting the author wants the reader to see why Catherine prefers Heathcliff. Edgar tends to Catherine devotedly when she is dying, showing his caring nature but also his fear of upsetting her humor.
Hareton Earnshaw was denied an education by Heathcliff and subjected to abuse, leaving him illiterate with a rough appearance and mannerisms. However, over time and through his relationship with Catherine, Hareton grows into a respectable, intelligent, and kind man. He breaks the cycle of abuse and finds love with Catherine, mirroring but improving upon the relationship of Heathcliff and Catherine, and restoring peace to Wuthering Heights.

2. What is homophobic language?
• How would you define it?
• What common examples do we hear?
3. Homophobic language
• Homophobia can be defined as an irrational
dislike, hatred or fear of individuals that are
lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
• Homophobia can be physical, verbal or
indirect.
Is homophobic language a problem:
• In this school?
• In our society?
• Around the world?
4. Common examples of homophobic
language
• Gay
• Queer
• Lesbian
• Faggot / fag
Are all of these words always homophobic?
How do we decide?
5. Gay
• Originated in the 12 century, derived from the
French ‘gai’, to mean ‘joyful’ or carefree’.
• In the early part of the 17th century, it began to
be associated with immoral behaviour (‘carefree’
= ‘less-inhibited’)
• In the 19th century the word ‘gay’ began to be
used to mean a (female) prostitute, or a man who
had many sexual partners, often prostitutes.
• In the 1920s and 30s, ‘gay’ began to be used to
refer to homosexual men. This additional
meaning entered the dictionary in 1955.
• In the 1980s, ‘gay’ began to also be used in a
derogatory way as a synonym for ‘lame’ or
‘stupid’.
6. • So, the word ‘gay’ is not itself homophobic.
• But using the word ‘gay’ to mean something is
bad is.
Why?
What is the distinction here?
8. Politically correct language
• Political correctness is the term used to
describe language, ideas, policies or behaviour
which seeks to minimise offence to
racial, cultural or other identity groups.
• We need to be careful about the language
that we use, and the language that we don’t
use.
• The term is often used negatively by critics
who see it as unnecessary.
9. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis
• The practice of using inclusive or neutral language derives
from the idea of two linguists called Sapir and Whorf, called
the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
• Their idea was that language governs thought – so the
language that you speak governs how you think.
• For example, according to this hypothesis, sexist language
promotes sexist thought. We can apply this to homophobic
language too.
• So, if you are constantly referred to as a “girl” when you are
a grown woman, you will not view yourself as equal to a
man. If you constantly see the female term come second in
terms like “Mr and Mrs” and “Dear Sir or Madam,” you
become conditioned to regarding the female as second
rate.
• And if you constantly hear ‘gay’ being used as an insult…
10. Why is homophobic language a
problem?
In secondary schools
• 98 per cent of gay pupils hear ‘that’s so gay’ or
‘you’re so gay’ at school
• 97 per cent of gay pupils hear derogatory phrases
such as ‘dyke’ or ‘poof’ used in school
• 95 per cent of secondary school teachers report
hearing the phrases ‘that’s so gay’ or ‘you’re so
gay’ at school
• eight in ten secondary school teachers report
hearing other insulting homophobic remarks such
as ‘poof’, ‘dyke’, ‘queer’ and ‘faggot’
15. This is (hopefully) how political
corectness works:
• Certain groups of people (eg LGBT individuals) have
their rights and freedoms restricted due to the way
they are categorised as part of a group which has a
negative stereotype associated with it.
• This categorisation is largely unconscious, and is
facilitated by the fact that labelling terminology (eg
dyke, faggot) is easily available.
• By focusing on this labelling terminology and making it
problematic, people are made to think consciously
about the language they use to describe someone.
• Once labelling becomes a conscious activity, the
individual merits of a person, rather than their
perceived membership of a group, becomes more
obvious.
16. Put the following words under two
headings, appropriate and inappropriate
Lesbian
Transgender
Homosexual
Dyke
Faggot
Lesbo
Partner
Girlfriend
Husband
Poofter
Tranny
Bisexual
Queer
Gay
Homo
Boyfriend
Wife
21. Plenary
• Has Facebook done the right thing?
• How will this decision help to counteract
prejudice?
• What do you think of this new terminology?
Write on your post-it note one thing
you will or won’t do in the future to
tackle homophobic language
Editor's Notes
Ask students to work in pairs and share feedback. Agree on a definition as a class.
It will be interesting to see if students think homophobic language is a problem in this school. Even if they don’t, hopefully they will recognise that it is elsewhere in the world. You could mention Russia / Putin etc if they need prompting.
Discussion of what makes a word homophobic.
You may need to break this down further and / or print it out for your class…
Speaks for itself.
These are really interesting to look at / discuss. Feel free to find your own examples of different resources if you like – eg Sochi etc.
Again, this might need differentiating.
This should be done independently or in pairs. Feedback and discuss as a class.
You might want to print this out. Read and discuss what Facebook is doing here and why it is important.
