The Politics
of Polite
At a very young age we are taught how
to be polite and respectful of others
What to say…
Please Thank you
Pardon Me
May I?
Excuse me You’re Welcome
Sorry
What To Do…
How To Act…
How To Be Kind…
How To Play Nice…
And Be Nice To Your Brother and Sister
So How Can Being Polite Backfire?
Sometimes, inadvertently, we can
address someone in a way that
offends them and we thought we
were being Polite.
Let’s take a look at a few
examples?
Are there any POP words below that might
offend someone…or yourself?
Girl
Ma’am
Sir
Boy
Guys
Ladies
Woman
Sweetie/Dear/Honey
Kid
Any you would like to add?
"Don't Call Me Ma'am"
So what’s The solution?
When in doubt…
Girl, Maam, Sir, Boy, Guys,
Ladies, Woman, Chick
Dude
Throw it out!
Thanks!
Guys
Girls
Ladies
JUST….THANKS!
