1. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words would never hurt me” Whoever stated this quote was probably a robot because it completely disregarded the sensitivity of human emotion. I first heard this quote when I was very young and I tried to live by it because I did not want to be troubled by petty words. However, I was still hurt and I felt childish because I could not get over the hurtful words. I later learned that it was not just me but every other person who were affected, even traumatized by words. Words have a lasting affect whether it affects our conscious and unconscious mind and strike our insecurities whenever we are depressed. Sharp criticisms seem to reappear everytime one looks in the mirror, has nightmares, or experiences failure. The reason being is that words have the ability to create an illusion or even reveal harsh reality.

2. Political correctness has its good qualities yet people fear that government is now going too far with restriction laws. The anti-PC movement advocates see political correctness as a government’s radical plight with censorship. Several writers complain that PC movement is very biased and also a product of bitterness; they believe that political correctness is sympathetic towards the minority but apathetic towards the majority. They also believe that PC movement should not be supported because the oppressed minorities are rancorously supporting the PC movement to take revenge against the majority for past injustices. There are also satires that were created that showed that stories would be completely altered if the political correctness movement went slightly farther.

Despite the opposition, there are still people who believe that this movement is not flawed and believe it is necessary for social and moral improvement. The supporters of the PC movement believe that the majority must pay their toll for their past unjustness. Some also support it to repress racism and terms that anger the minority.
