Political correctiveness

Political correctness is the practice of choosing words and behaviors that avoid offending or marginalizing particular groups of people, especially those related to race, gender, disability, or sexuality. The aim is to foster an inclusive and respectful environment by being sensitive to the impact of language and actions on others. While some view it as essential for promoting equality and preventing discrimination, critics argue it can limit free expression or lead to excessive caution in communication. Ultimately, political correctness reflects broader societal efforts to acknowledge and respect diversity.
