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".

Diamante Poems


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 !

Animal rights ☮

The expression "Animal Rights" refers to the extension of human rights to animal species . It has a moral and legal value . One of the first who made debates of "Animal Rights" was Peter Singer. He said that animals haven't related rights , because these rights are given with general and not individually; and they even haven't absolute rights because these rights are for human but not for animals ; in fact , if an animal kills another animal this isn't a crime . For this reason it would be " Duties of human towards animals" . A Universal declaration of animal right was approved by UNESCO in 1978 . Even some associations try to defend the animals as "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals" (PETA) , or "Association for the defence of animal rights" in Italy . Also have been proclaimed some articles as:
-Every animal has the right to respect and freedom.
-The human can't kill or mistreat an animal.
-The capture techniques need to be changed.
-Every animal has the right to protection and care.


Today many people become vegan or vegetarian to respect and don't kill animals , and this is a step toward civilization !

There are various ideas to make random acts of kindness :
