Politically Correct

Politically correct is a language phenomenon .This expression refers to an ideological and cultural respect for all , where you avoid any offense to certain categories of people . According to this orientation , the opinions and judgments should not create inconvenience to people who have different cultures , different sexual orientation , or physical and mental problems .Before this phenomenon was undervalued but now has spread throughout the world.

There are some examples :

Alive : temporarily metabolically abled

poor = financially inept

 perverted = sexually dysfunctional

body odor = non discretionary fragrance

 blind = visually challenged

Fat : horizontally challenged

Ugly : cosmetically different

Prostitutes : sex workers

Bald : hair disadvantaged

 Some of the new politically correct words are often criticized for being rather ridiculous. For example, someone who is very short might be described as "vertically challenged".
