Week 16 Political correct language

Political correct language is a term which denotes language, ideas, policies, and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social and institutional offense in occupational, gender, racial, cultural, sexual orientation, certain other religions, beliefs or ideologies, disability, and age-related contexts, and, as purported by the term, doing so to an excessive extent. (Wikipedia.com 24/06/12)

This week we talk about politically correct language, and communities. We found three definitions for communities, but the one I like the most was the definition of the Course Companion:

"A group of people that share the same customs, interests, laws or traditions, and language" Course Companion

We also watch a video of "Ebonics", a variation of language made from the African american people
