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".

The Simpson
My favorite TV series is "The Simpson" . It is a very popular animated sitcom , that shows the lifestyle of Americans , through funny scenes . The main characters are : Homer , Marge and their three children Bart , Lisa and Maggie . It's unrealistic , but shows the reality . The shows high successful since its first appearance in TV in 1987 and many people really like it . I really like it because is funny , even if sometimes is a bit educationally harmful . I recommend this series to people that aren't very superficial . It's very beautiful !
