What is people-first language?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ม.ค. 2022
- The Mental Health Commission of Canada says we often use language that can be stigmatizing towards people living with a physical or mental illness.
Stigmatizing language can include sentences like "they're handicap," "they're schizophrenic" or "they're depressed."
Experts say when we start identifying individuals as people, it allows others to see them and realize their illness is a part of them - it's not who they are.
Global's Sharmeen Somani tells us how we can put people first when speaking.

Like calling people "the unvaxxed" all the time?
Touché...
You guys must be kidding us
I’m not sure how this helps people embrace and accept themselves. Whether “I’m struggling with my weight” or “I’m overweight” it’s still something that is a PART OF ME that requires acknowledgment and acceptance in order to move forward in a positive self-worth kind of manner. Saying the words I’m an alcoholic is important because self denial about who we are is much more of the problem.
Wouldn't it then be more uplifting to say, I'm a human being who currently has a dependence on alcohol? But, nevermind that. Some people don't acknowledge that dependence on money and power is an issue and unfortunately they're the ones the system is favorable towards. Which then leads to the dependencies of the masses. But, this is where an awakening must happen, the need for a certain amount of autonomy is wired in us, the powers-that- shouldn't-be are always at odds with our autonomy.
I think the idea is that you should not be categorized or defined in some way of something out of your control which is why your two examples do not compare. If I'm overweight, or an alcoholic, I have the ability to change that, where as schizophrenia...not so much, its out of my control, I didn't do anything to bring on this mental illness. I think that's what this video is trying to illustrate?
Danger Cat, schizophrenia can be controlled through proper treatment. Mental illness can be controlled by medication and therapy.
@@pasqualinamichelaconsiglio9391 True. The video is a little ridiculous.
Each person us more than any aspect of his or her life,, good or bad. Nuances matter.
These people have lost their minds.
Should be covering the huge protest in Montreal
It happens all the time though, what’s the point in covering all of them
Which one?
@@robo_t So naive..... Learn your history dude....
@@derekwoodford9955 Like the protests that happen in my city deserve being reported on every time it happens. It’s the same people doing the same message. Sure if it’s big, report it.
@@robo_t You have no idea there are currently tens of millions of people all over the world in rolling protests???
Tens of millions, for the past year or so... You never heard about that?
It's the biggest string of related protests ever in the history of the earth.
The media keeps saying people are living with "pandemic related" anxiety, depression, mental health, financial issues etc.
Then the alternate way of saying this is, " people are struggling with a kor-rupted political system influenced by an unelected minority who control the institutions of global health and finances.
"He has gone crazy."
"He is living with crazy"
👍. Words can build or destroy 👎🏻
No, they can't... they're literally just words. They can't hurt you. (if they can, you're too weak for this world) LMFAO!
@@mr_enigmatic It’s not about hurting physically 🙄 An arrow can be pulled out but the poison ☠️ remains !
@@arsalanmirza3411 & "you can't hug your children with nuclear arms" right??? GTFOH man. LOLLL
@@mr_enigmatic Be Balanced - don’t go to Extremes ☠️ Have some Hope in Humanity 👍
@@arsalanmirza3411 No... too many people are too far gone. I personally wish Covid was as deadly as they make it out to be... The world could use a good purging of all these weak/stupid/gullible people.
That person isn't a fat lazy slob. They are living with being a fat lazy slob.
Lol
When society reaches peak affluence...
We'll be discussing pronouns and doublespeak while the barbarians are at the gates.
@@jak-A127 We deserve it...
Stop twisting the language around so it becomes almost meaningless.
I disagree about people first language. If someone is living with schizophrenia and is sensitive to being called schizophrenic, schizophrenia is not their only issue. They just need tools to help cope. That said, some people use such mental illness labels as weapons. And if you prevent these a-holes from labeling, they will still cause harm using other methods. Bottom line, those with mental illness and those without need better tools when dealing with a-holes.
Next, we're going to be told to refer to dead people as really tired people.
Don't say that, say this. Do as I tell you to. Don't think for yourself anymore.
Such a soft generation.
You're part of that softness if this makes you offended
@@jgp7414 Honest question... What made you think they were offended? They simply made an observation (an astute one at that).
@@jgp7414 You are beyond beta.... I truly think you should lay off the soy
@@jgp7414 don’t worry about these weak losers my guy; they’re all so insignificant, and filled with self hate that they’ll jump on you for even attempting to point out their obvious petty lives
I got everyone replying in angry tones acting all triggered now. Boomer go to bed
I completely agree with person-first language, and I certainly have my share of slip ups, but I would point out something I would correct in future versions of this presentation/story. "Frustrated" is a feeling, and I believe it is person-first language to use I-Statements, in such, I believe it is better say something like, "I am really feeling frustrated today," rather than a You-Statement, "You/they are really frustrating today." Some of this is semantics too, saying that "suffering" is more offensive that "struggling," may be true, but I'm not sure that is always true (both may be offensive). If a statement is necessary, perhaps, "They're presenting . . . today," being more specific as to what is observed, instead of adding interpretation to the presenting symptoms. If interpretation is indicated, then perhaps, "They state they are feeling . . ." and/or "Because [presenting symptoms] . . . , I believe they are struggling today." My apologies for being a little bit of an armchair critic; I'm not missing the point, which is very good, I'm just nit-picking.
I can see how this can be useful for some people but not so much with others. Societal stigma through defining behavior or states of mind is for the better in some instances but for the worse in others.
In 6 months All their suggestions will be offensive, and people still won't do anything to actually help other then changing words like fashion. What about you call me Crazy pants, but give us the help we need
Yes, labelling people is bad. Media often label.
This isnt going to fix anything
Person first versus identity first language can be very subjective, some people prefer one over the other and they ask you to use one specifically, best to do so regardless. I have Autistic friends who prefer identity first.
Who cares about this propaganda?
Clearly you do since you’re on their channel all the time
@@robo_t I don't watch these videos, but I know my tax dollars go towards it, I like to see where my money is going.
I don't condone propaganda, not for one second.
@@robo_t because hes a con on welfare too lazy to work lol
@@derekwoodford9955 I’ve seen you multiple times in the comments section in the past. Plus, how are you supposed to have an honest opinion of them if you aren’t watching their stuff and considering what they have to say instead of just automatically calling them off as propaganda because of the headlines or what they report
@@robo_t I'm well versed in spotting propaganda. I don't expect you to believe me.
My only hope is that you might question what you see with the appropriate skeptism.
The editors, the producers are corrupt, it matters not what is in the video.
Good luck!
this is a wast of time.. how about dealing with the problems and not the words we use to describe them
Omg here we go again it doesn’t matter I’m so sick of this crap that Canadians get sucked into we’ve been changing our language to accommodate everything everybody. That’s the problem with this insane woke country we don’t call a spade a spade anymore. It’s ridiculous and if people are that fragile and their feelings blah blah the stay home so the rest of us don’t have to walk on egg shells around the sensitives. God give me a break already
AMEN!!!!!🙏
People are fragile, though. I personally don't struggle with a mental illness, but often is the case that people with a mental illness (or low self-esteem) LITERALLY lacks an element in the mind that 'shields' them against criticism. They sometimes struggle with even accepting constructive feedback because, often due to abuse, they have a poorly developed superego (an element in the mind that literally allows you to self-validate yourself) and this makes them hard to accept that they have a 'flaw'.
I'm saying some people are LITERALLY unable to validate themselves on their own. This doesn't mean that we should excuse poor behavior though. We should not enable them, but we do need to encourage them to heal by taking responsibility for themselves
And these people aren't even embarrassed about themselves
how come so many people with these disorders are vocally against this so-called 'person-first' language??? Seems like yet another thing to make 'normal people' feel better about themselves when talking to afflicted individuals.
I agree. Please if someone tells you, 'I am schizophrenic' please don't correct them and say person with schizophrenia, it's patronizing and rude. Schizophrenic isn't a bad word.
I have a disability and i prefer person first. This is a debate within people with disabilities. Some prefer person first, others identity first but the last are sometimes quite annoying policing the people who prefer person first.
Person-first language was born out of disability activism. Carolyn Vash, a person with quadrplegia, was once one of the promoters of person-first language.
Oh please!
It all looks the same to me. Minor alterations.
I'm autistic and proud to autistic so some labels are good
Don’t call people autistic, say they’re a person with autism.
Maybe you should ask the person what language they prefer. Some people with autism prefer person with autism and others prefer autistic people.
She means that people aren’t the disease but have the disease. I use having not living with the disease.
the first language was tamil it was proved by Dr Spencer wills .
This isn't "news".
Orwellian doublespeak is alive and well.
Nonsense
oh Jesus
Lmao
What in the snowflake is this now?

But Don't Pay Too Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, Ha ❤ Ha
***NOTE:
Spiritist is who professes Spiritism.
It's the Bible continuation and correction.
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books of Chico Xavier, the greatest medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries...
