I consider that Freedom of speech gives a person the right to say what they feel, but it also gives other people the right to point out if they are being offensive.
OUR FREEDOM ENDS WHEN THE FREDOM OF OTHERS BEGINS.
I agree lisseth with you when the wors are offensive the right to comment is lost
Then no one can say anything without constant chaos because there’s always someone offended by something.
No thanks to your authoritarianism disguised as compassion.
Offensive? You mean hate speech which means speech that you hate? 😂😂😂
The word “papa” is not a mistake or any offensive word in children's language. So it couldn´t be considered political correctness.
In my opinion the video showed us an exaggerated situation. First, the girl wasn’t offending the boy and then her step-mother was offensive to her.
However, I agree with what she said at the end of the video about how we have to extend equality, empathy and respect, because we have to respect the different ways of expression that the cultures have.
Totally agree with you Belen
For me the joke was funny, and the reaction of the stepmother was criticable, like latinos this joke wasn’t offensive for us.
I agree with you, Belen.
That’s my sister!!!!!!!!
Bethy Graham I know lol
Is she annoying at home?
@@BarryLetts379 i can be 😂
It seems to me that the situation was funny, however it wasn´t for the stepmother. So, we have to keep in mind that one of negative aspects of PC is that we can lead to misunderstanding with our comments or actions, I mean we can become offensive and hurt people´s sensitivity inintentionally.
I agree with you. The important thing is don’t take all thing personal.
Political correctness sometimes causes misunderstandings in language.
For example this case in the video, it seems that a simple joke can turn into a big problem, and end up offending someone.
I totally agree Kerly
Yes, some misunderstandings can cause confusion.
I agree with you miss Kerlly, the joke provoked a big problem between them, but it was not necessary finished in that point.
Political correctness is avoiding criticizing other people who may feel offended. Our parents teach us the culture of respecting each other.
The use of different ways to express an idea can cause in some cases a little confusion for people who are starting to learn a new language, but what can we do? Well, it is necessary to explain the mistakes and not try to denigrate, or bully others.
The best way to use political correctness is explaining that if something is wrong, we have to correct with respect and using more assertive words. All of us have the right to make mistakes and also correct them.
On many occasions, we can inadvertently cause displeasure, it depends a lot on the person's state of mind, and the culture they have, white jokes must be made at the timely moment so as not to injure susceptibilities. We agree with this, of course, we must infer fair treatment throughout the world, as human beings. We all need to be treated that way, with respect and empathy.
It is a great truth that we learn better with empathy, love and not with harshness and being attacked.
I totally agree with you, empathy is the key to avoid offending others.
We should be empathic and respectful with other people. People should avoid being offensive with the vulnerable person. Each person has a different personality and different ways of reacting to confront any problem. Empathic means showing an ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
exactly all the time people should avoid being offensive. We should always keep in mind!
I agree with your comment, we need to respect other people and be more empathic.
According to the video, I can say that it is very difficult to separate the culture and the political ideologies of a language. In this way, there will always be people who are offended by the misinterpretation of their language, but it doesn't mean that it is a case of political correctness.
Remember that political correctness means preventing individuals from harm, offense, and discrimination.
Yes dear Valeria, political correctness is to prevent make damage or hurt to others.
Well in my opinion, from her point of view the whole context of her speech could not be offensive for American people because she doesn’t understand the culture from Latin American people. I mean it depends on personal choice too sometimes so as to accept anything as correct or incorrect. Also, we have to practice the political correctness which help us to keep in harmony and peace.
I agree that means we should think before we speak
I agree with your comment dear Betty because we need emphaty and respect with people and culture in other countries.
it's correct dear Betty, I consider that political correctness supports the well-living of each one, it doesn't matter the country where We come from.
You can keep harmony and peace just as much by understanding other cultures or that others see things differently and not being offended.
Works both ways.
To expect others to do all the work of creating harmony is entitlement and abuse.
For me, Political Correctness is maintain a positive, respectful and tolerant attitude in social relationships. It is not a prior limitation or censorship, a coercive force that prevents us from spontaneity or the free expression of our feelings. PC is a way of relating to others considering their identities, customs, beliefs according to their culture and country.
Totally agree. We have to respect our fellow being and to use offensive words that hurt the people's feelings.
Rosita Granda. It is so difficult to separate culture and the political believes in the use of language. So that, always there will be people who are offended by the misinterpretation of language, however, it doesn't mean that it is a case of political correctness. People have to remember that political correctness means avoid insult, offense, and denigation. Sometimes that occure by unknowleg about languaje and culture.
In my opinion, I agree with the girl about what is political correctness, when you make a mistake because of your language, it shouldn´t be considering offensive. Offensive is when people act intentionally and hurt the feelings of the rest, because of their sensibility.
Yes, María I agree with you some words are common in one country and could be an offense in another country. For instance, in Ecuador is normal to say chaqueta but in Mexico, it could be misunderstood.
Deyci Estevez I don`t bellive when the people use inappropiate words to refer other people is necesary to be carful in the use of them but the most important is the respect and tolerance
Yes, we should be careful in the use of some words and do not offend.
In my opinion, it is that political correctness has been manipulated by some people since they use this term sometimes as a way to offend or denigrate others; it's also about how her grandmother felt after hearing these comments for that reason I think we have to teach all our students what political correctness is and in this way they could learn how to treat to others without discrimanation.
However, there are some terms that people use to make it appear that using disparaging words is common in our midst.
For that reason I hope all people can treat others with respect.
Absolutely, I agree with your comment, we need to learn to respect other cultures.
Very well said Lauren! When I clicked on this video, I wasn't expecting much from it, I was like okay yea "yet another 5 min long talk" but this honestly is the best thing I have watched today.
Such a shame to see the amount of views & likes on this video. Soo underrated!
There are some cases where people´s background has a misconception of what is correct or not, but in many cases, it depends on the circumstances and also on the prior knowledge that people have. There are different ways to express one thing. Suppose the person who listens to those words does not know the whole meaning. In that case, the result could sound insulting, so the best way to avoid any confrontation is using political correctness and asking for a clear explanation of the word.
Yes, I agree dear friend. The best way is to avoid confrontation and try to live happy without denigrate any people or social group.
From my point of view, the word papa is not offending anyone, therefore it doesn´t mean to be PC. I consider an exaggeration this situation. PC doesn´t censorship people, neither judge others because of different variety of language, phases, etc.
I consider always try to be respectful, kindness and emphatic with others, trying to educate not to offending or chastising others because of their mistakes, sometimes could be words said unintentionally without wanting to offend the audience. People should express their thought and the rest should respect or give a suggestion but with respect and tolerance.
Roddy Lopez
I believe that PC helps to avoid offenses in order to respect the people.
On the other hand, I think that we should learn social context of foreign countries and do not offend with our vocabulary or behavior to people from other nationalities
In my opinion we can't censorship everything we say because sometimes we made mistakes without thinking and we can't criticize that mistakes.
According to the theme in the video, the way to treat or address people is also important, the use of words to address others must be correct because we will not always find people who accept comments in the same way.
In addition, the terms that we usually use when saying something in different languages or even from one country to another may vary and the meaning may also change, but I think that when we refer to using certain phrases or words to tell a joke, we must first know who we are. are listening or with whom we are speaking to avoid certain disagreements.
I agree with the comment they make in the video; it is necessary to apply empathy and make correct use of the correctness policy.
PC is a term used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense to other people.
In this context I agree with you. Sometimes, people use political correctness like an excuse to criticize, harm, or attack others. Sometimes, people don´t try to offend, it could seem because of cultural issues like your case. And even when someone make this purposely, we have to foster respect for others, on the contrary of attacking, or denigrating. By Mariana S.
I agree with you, In my opinion political correctness refers about using the language specifying gender, race, culture of people to show respect for them, but also people need to have empathy and be tolerant when others make mistakes and don´t use the right words to be politically correctness and they should try to correct the mistakes with respect and don't feel insulted.
Political Corretness encourage the replacement of traditional language that offend a particular group, using polite language and deal with empathy with everybody, no matter the individualities everybody needs to be treated with respect
I agree with you Martha, political correctness is being polite with the language. By GLENDA NAVARRO
Hi is important to clarify that in this digital time, people use different words, the people mix languages since through technology or travel we approach other worlds when speaking, it is important to understand that the vocabulary is extensive and is used correctly according to the country and some places use words without the intent to offend others, I understand that some people take everything seriously, but I think you have to take into account the person, the time and the place when we are speaking.
In my first reaction, I think some people could get offended easily by a different situation. So we have to be aware of what we are saying or writing. I believe your opinion is correct because when we are children, we do not think about the negative effects that a joke can produce on others. Children don't have the intention to offend someone. So I agree with your point of view because I like to be political correctness, but we also have to be empathetic in some situations.
In my opinion, if you are very respectful of others when speaking, you are speaking politically correct.
I like your video and I agree with you.
Ii's important what you mention about PC in order avoid affending people. As you mention sometimes it happens because people don't know about the entire culture and don't realize that some words have different meaning in other cultura. I believe that people should be more tolerant and emphatic when a misunderstanding in language occured without the intention of offending to others.
Thanks for sharing us your experience .🤗🤗
According to the video, we can realize that there are words with different meanings according to the language. We need to recognize these words and the meaning according to the text. People have standardized words to use politically correct however people use politically incorrect when it is not clear their meanings and use them to insult or denigrate .
If someone did that to me, I'd wreck them a new one!
ANGELICA GUERRERO Pollitical corretness is a very important way of thinking but it shouldn’t be used to create a problem. Some people use it to Change the goal of this conception and change words because they feel offended. Nowadays people can’t express clearly saying genre or something similar because the language is changing according some groups that don’t feel identify as men or women. For me it generates confusion and misunderstanding.
My step mother is always offended, is your step mother the same? Did she take offence here there and everywhere.
The author of this TEDx talk is my sibling, and yes our stepmother does take offense to pretty much everything culturally related to her.
@@elizabethgraham2728 thanks for the reply but what is she like in other areas?
@@chriswatson3464 like what?
@@elizabethgraham2728 does she look for problems because that is common among step-mothers.
@@chriswatson3464 sometimes, but honestly we haven’t seen her or our father in about 3 years so I don’t really know what she’s like anymore.
Language could be offensive depending the way we say the words. In this case the word papa is telling as a joke. I think it is not an insult because the word papa is a kind of food.
The intention of people is making others be happy but in some cases an expression is an insult, this depends the culture and values, is my opinion. The empathy is an important fact.
Speaking personally, stepmother does not feel offended. It is necessary understand people´s feelings when we speak giving funny expressions.
Brilliantly articulated and expressed
Different cultures that have perhaps been involved in a misundestanding of the word; because of the meaning of those words. We must be careful about with misundestanding because could cause a big problem, also could be offensive deppending of people..
FULTON RAMIREZ. The application of political correctness in jokes that people think very bad, in this case, the reaction for the joke about papa wasn´t right because it is not permitted to create a confusión to feel bad to make fun for a joke that I think it is not offensive.
Political correctness people don´t accept to say something that result harm for other people, in the contrary people try to relax and solve the problems without attacking someone else. So, for that reason it is necesary to Foster some different values to assure that people can be respectful and empathic when they don´t consider that anything is not well. I consider that it is totally important to educate in order to avoid contradictions when it is applied Political correctness.
Political correctness between them is interesting . My point of view she tries to talk without using the gramatical rules, but her mother doesn´t understand .
I think they haven´t had a good relationship and she doesnt help or teach a better way how express her feeling.
Its indispensable be more empathic and respect the rest of the people because its can show our education.
Maintaining political correctness is so important in our community because when we are not respectful of others by commenting out loud or joking about people's customs, it could be offensive. I really liked the video about it.
Dear karla, I completely agree with u because to maintain good political correctness we have to teach them at home and at school as well. Good Luck
Hi Lauren, I abosultely agree with you ih the part that you cannot blame a child and you have to try not to criticize everyone
Potitialy correct people are making people scared to say Hello to a stranger.
I heard some expressions such as “boleta” or “soda”. Those terms are from Peru. Ecuadorian citizens know these phrases as “Factura” or “cola”. It is said we learn new phrases. However, a great deal of expressions are awkward for human beings from my homeland.
I liked this video because I learned more about political correctness and also I liked because I learned that if we want to correct someone, we should do it in a polite way avowing offend because probably he or she doesn’t understand or get confused with a language that probably is learning.
In my opinion about it, we must have respect for the toughts, feelings of a culture. We have to have present that we are in a world where there must freedom of expression. We should educate in values and practice them. Also, we have to practice the polytical correctness which help us to keep in harmony and peace.
Dear Veronica. I am agree with you, the most important is seek the peace and harmony, the respect of toughts, feelings and values and practice them, this is the way to reach the political correctness.
You are so right Lauren. We need to tone back our political correctness.
The liberals are only politically correct when it’s something they care about. If it’s not relevant to them they throw it out the window. An example can be with trump and his supporters.
Apparently it's not politically correct to say politically correct 😂🙊
I learned this recently.
Please tell me I'm not the only one confused.
I'm confused.
Maybe they think "Its harmful to call it Politically correct because that implies it only to be political when really WHITE MEN should always speak in this manner."
whoever said that is retarted
They probably just don't want us calling it what it is so they can get away with it more & make it natural for everyone.
It sounds like manipulation. Manipulating the victim to feel guilty.
@@PeteS_1994 your getting in a dangerous realm called "overly socialized"
WE NEED TO BE CARFUL WHEN WE USE SOME WORDS, IT COULD NOT BE FUNNY FOR OTHER PEOPLE. DON'T HARM. WE NEED TO BE INCLUSIVE USING THE CORRECT WORDS. IT DEPENDS THE PEOPLE'S CULTURE AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE, HOWEVER THE MOST IMPORTANT IS YOUR EMPATIC ATTITUDE.
I agree with you because we always need to take care with the word that we talk to other person or give an opinion using jokes.
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED!
my mistake
It is a good point, you are a very young girl, but you understand very well the limits that exist between the offensive and an error or ignorance of something.
People used political correctness for avoided hurt another person, and the last video showed some situation in a family, where relatives didn't think that they can feel bad about their daughter or son. When the comment makes feel sad or offending another person, the PC is only an option to make the word better, but the intention is important when you are attacked verbally. On the other hand, each person can be resilient, and not allow a comment to affect their lives.
I agree with you Karinel, PC must be used to avoid everything that affects groups at disadvantage.
I think that PC must teach us to try with respect. Sometimes we use words but We don´t have the intention to discriminate, but there are other people that do this kind of things and don´t think that they are offending or discriminating. In the case of the video I think it was not the intention to say something offensive, just it was an insignificant word.
You´re right! Every person reacts very different than another one, it depends on the culture and how a person appreciates or interprets a word, a joke, an action.
I like politically correctness but when people don't respect the culture from another country using denigrating jokes for that reason I would like to ask people not to offend the cultures or other cultural aspects of the audience.
The culture of each country is important for its inhabitants, respect is essential part of humans
We should respect the cultures each one,the people should value the behaviour and our feeling to live in harmony.
Sometimes people use words from another language to make jokes without the intention of offending but it may not be funny for those who are affected by those jokes.
Latin stepmother reaction was typically the way of a sensitive people about her culture and value, she felt offended by her stepdaughter, but it has not to do with PC as many people think. Nowadays, people hide behind PC to get their goals.
Pc is about being tolerant and proactive rather than reactive. People need to be educated to have in their minds to treat all people fairly and to avoid humiliating them.
Empathy, Tolerance and being proactive are the key to have in the right way of be the example of the person political correctness.
Nowadays, people use different words at the moment of speaking because they learn from different ways tv or the Internet for instance. But, we have to understand most of them do not use that kind of word correctly and some of them use it without the intention of offending others. Furthermore, it is understandable that in the real world there are people that take things so seriously and they are so sensitive. I think that we have to consider the person at the moment of speaking in order to not offend them considering their culture, race, and so on.
Sometimes people use words from another language to make jokes without the intention of offending but it may not be funny for those who are affected by those jokes.
When we talk about political correctness is when we don’t exclude groups or people, in several cases we use this type of language to marginalize, insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against. There is nothing positive about excluding and insulting people.
Moreover, people use political correctness to further divide the races and genders.
Nice comment! Good point of view.
I totally agree Manuel... It is important torecognize the real meaning of Politically Correctness to avoid discrimination.
Target English Language is absolutely different in Spanish
You are right Manuel, political correctness is a new language to talk about people in general way, or inclusive way, not exclusive or marginalizing way.
I consider that person is making a relationship on “papa” -potato in English and “papà” -father in English, so it is not an offensive expression or joke because there are many similar words in Spanish called homophones and homographs, and I think the woman doesn’t know maybe. So, the political correctness is right, there is no discrimination.
I Totally agree with the perception you have about the video.
I totally agree with you Yuri. A simple funny joke could change to an offesive joke if the people don´t know distinguish the sense of that joke.
This video shows the issues related to political correctness; this is not the only misunderstanding. This is the case of a stepmother who offends when hearing a phrase. Knowing what the other is trying to say is necessary before expressing annoyance. It commonly happens when people do not have a clear conception of culture.
PC helps us to avoid offending people not to attack people, as this girl says we should be more empathetic with people around us.
I totally agree with you Lia, we have to be more friendly, empathetic and above all use the right words with other people for good communication.
I consider that the girl says that everything is not offensive, besides she does not have that intention for this reason we must be careful , so as not to misunderstand anyone.
Dear Loren
I was listening very carefully to your intervention, and I can also say that it can be confusing whether or not it is politically correct that a word used in one language can offend another.
From my point of view no, definitely not. If anything you say is not offensive in your native language, I consider that it should not be considered incorrect in another language.
In this case, PC may not be considered politically incorrect, because from the get to we know that some elderly people tend to exaggerate things.
Absolutely agree with your comment.
I agree with your comment.
It is really important to Know the use of the different words in other countries... But I think it is only a joke
By Lili
I though that the stepmother did not know the meaning of the words. These were not offensive.The political correctness avoid offending other people and use the adequate words. Respect and be emphatic.
Some people are much more sensitive than others, so we need to be careful to avoid people feeling harmful, especially if we are in a different country or place from ours.
I agree with being more careful with what we say, but we must also learn to treat each situation appropriately, it is not always a case of political correctness.
That’s why you should never be with people who are sensitive. Sadly there’s people like that in my family
It's 11 more days until 2020!! Are y'all ready to enter the new era where things like this get worse and worse?? :D
You're a genuine Nostradamus!
Think this is the comment that sent 2020 into a shitshow😂😂
Any predictions for September 2020? Even around 2021 would do.
Man😮😮😮
It sure got worse and worse
Well in my opinion, from her point of view the whole context of her speech could not be offensive for American people because she doesn’t understand the culture from Latin American people. I mean it depends on personal choice too sometimes so as to accept anything as correct or incorrect.
I consider that the girl only wanted to be fun about the joke, but it sounded a little offensive for her stepmother, maybe it was for her culture, she was very sensitive about the joke, for that reason she thought that was irrational and out of place the joke.
I agree with you, I think people need to be more sensible and empathetic, we shouldn't be irrational with things like these.
Too many people are tied to their ethnicity and can’t live beyond it, always attaching themselves to all things like them. This excessive way of life is a hindrance to bonding, as a nation..
Very well spoken!
PC could change the public’s perception because of their prejudices.
Lauren it is such an interesting example of how PC is. That is a good was to learning about this topic.
You are right Cindy, cause everything is about perception, It is always important as you said, to learn more about this topic in order to not be politically incorrect.
Politically Correct is about treating people in a good way without offending them. I think it was just a simple joke she made about the word papa. Her step mother got angry, she could have misunderstood it.
In my opinion she is not offending someone, she was just making a relationship between both languages English and spanish.
It's so difficult to be political correctness especially when your are talking in a different language.
There was just a confusion because of the language for a word that sounds similar in Spanish and English. But the Latin woman felt offended because she thought the girl was making fun of her. I think there are some stereotypes which are just in our minds sometimes created by the society. One of the goals of PC is to eliminate verbal discrimination and negative stereotypes.
I see eye to eye to you. Political correctness is a way to avoid saying or telling mistakes however, when somebody makes it . it ´s neccesssary to correct with tolerance and respect.
Hello Vivi I am agree with you in what you says about the language uses to say must be without insulting words to maintaing or relationship
The video shows us how we judge people even if they are from our country so in this case she came from another country and she didn´t know our culture because as Latino American people we use our colloquial expressions as anywhere. From this video and experience comes to my mind that some people don´t have empathy for their fellow beings and don´t respect their thoughts, culture, genres, status.
Dear Laura, I agree with you, we have to consider the expressions of different countries in which include cultural manners, customs, etc.
@@wilo5337 that´s true :)
Lauren by telling the anecdote in a joke style, also she demonstrates her indignation for the misuse of what is politically correctness.
People should understand the meaning of the phrase politically correctness, to avoid turning the general learning of something into discrimination.
It is important to recognize the examples that allow us to speak in front of the audience without using offenses.
You have the reason because we must avoid using any offensive words to each others
This video is crucial to avoid microaggressions or stereotyping to latinos or people that belong to a minority group. They need respect and tolerance. That's why, I would like to encourage everybody to be empathic, resilience and kindly with all citizens of the world. Even, if they think or believe different from you due to, the life is unique and we have to enjoy it no matter where we are.
From my point of view, what is related to Political Correctness is closely linked with the culture of the different communities, all these gaps, and controls, which cover a variety of topics, such as racism, sexism, and disability; it is a really complicated subject. Our expressions can unleash in some people a terrible rage, furious at the chains that are placed on their freedoms. So people should mention things with empathy and that's it.
I have the same idea, a person needs to be tolerant and emphatic, not all people have the intention of harm , denigrate or ofend somebody, we must differenciate someone's intention, take into account that PC is tolerance and not attacking.
Patricia Granda.I agree with Lauren firstly with her example it's not a case of PC; since it is a misunderstanding. She said people must be sensible, empathy and keep kindness in our mind and we have quiet and don't attack for any reason.
We should be kind to each other and treat everyone equally no matter their skin tone, gender (preference), religion etc. Unfortunately, there are people who are purposefully and accidentally offensive. So, I deeply agree with the speaker we need to guide people no to attack them. I mean, we need to talk openly and freely about the important topics of modern society without offending nobody, because this is the only way to find a solution to problems like violence or discrimination o to eradicate them.
When you are respectful with others and avoid being extremely rude or offensive. It is really political corretness in action. However, It will depend on the environment where you are.
Political Correctness includes the avoidance of terms that reinforce preconceived negative stereotypes. The elimination of verbal discrimination is often considered one of the main goals of political correctness. PC is accepting the cultures and has respect for them. A word or term should not necessarily be offensive because your country has different definitions. Additionally, PC doesn't exclude groups or disappointments with some phrases. We aren't afraid to speak out. We should not be rude or offensive or criticize them. You will need to be educated to correct a term.
We invite you to be respectful and show empathy to others. Therefore, we need to be tolerant too, due to each one having a different way to see the world.
I think that stepmother’s position is incorrect, maybe She could be confused with the political correctness term because I don’t think that the commentary that her stepdaughter did was offensive. She has to be more empathetic and comprehensive . Sometimes In the other part there are vulnerable people , children and others that don’t want to offend to others. But also We have to be more careful with our commentaries, specially when We try with foreign people with different cultures.
I think that, she is speaking since her point of view is over context of her speech. She is not offending so because she doesn´t understand the culture from Latin American people.
I think that many people use double words which could confuse to the rest of people. For this reason we have to understand what is the message of the word and the type of joke.
If you say that someone is politically incorrect you mean that they do not care if they offend or upset any group of people in society who have a disadvantage, or who have been treated differently because of their gender, race, or disability.
But on the other hand, we can also observe that most people are easily offended, they are more fragile before the thought of another or their expression and do not know how to respond or have their own voice to recover from those, it is all a matter of people. and their degree of confidence and security, but that is not why we should abandon respect and empathy.
The idea of the wordplay with “papa” is not something that we can consider as offensive or harmful. However, according to political correctness some people can consider it inappropriate. Nowadays, we can see a lot of people that use the idea of the political correctness as a tool to correct others in a rude and harmful way, justifying their behaviour with the goal to avoid the discrimination and offenses, but they end up doing what they criticize. We should fight for our rights, we deserve it. Nevertheless, we cannot pass over the rights of others to defend ours.
I like your point of view, my dear Diana!
I agree with you political correctness help us to use the language correctly but if we notice a mistake we don't need to be agressive to correct them and we can do that but we have to be respectful
I think that we should respect the free of speech and not to feel offended that you say or feel. Finally, We have to use better our political correctness. The video show us how we can offend suddenly without intention.
PC is a term used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense to other people.
Your step mother needs to chill out and stop overreacting. Also you make some good points in this video.
BENEDICTO MENDEZ:
In my opinion jokes are important in our lives. to get funny or get new good energies. Nevertheless some jokes could be offensive for some people. According to the audio we listen in the video, that joke starts like a confusion of language between papa and Papá. Then, isn't politically correct to get fun or make a joke about it, like a regional joke. So, jokes are important in our lives when they don't offend or denigrate other people or social groups.
I agree with you my dear friend, some jokes are offensive depending on the context and the group you are. It is important to keep in mind that you can’t make jokes to people that you don’t know very well.
The video is about political correctness and explains it with a clear example about potatoes, that means papas in Spanish.
Everybody must be careful with they say and think well before to speak, because we can harmful and make feel bad to other people.
For this political correctness try to avoid vulgarity, offend and denigrate people. All people have to be respectful with the people's feelings, beliefs, religion, gender etc. Everybody is equal and has the same rights.
It is very interesting and important for me.
I agree with you Lorena, People in our world need to respect fellow beings and be empathetic with all.
Our differences between languages or cultures should give an opportunity to show what Political Correctness is. Respect and empathy are values that Political Correctness promotes, then each of us should practice these values and avoid punishing others for things that are not relevants. For instance, in the video there is a little problem about two spanish words PAPA and PAPÁ, they are written similarly but they have different meanings. But It should not be a problem, however it was a problem, Then, political correctness is used to punish others.
I believe all people need kave knowledges what political correctness is and put it on practice
Verónica Vásquez, this situation can be very common when there is a new culture in the middle. I consider the right way to communication is absolutely important. Establish limits and rules to talk about some topics. Making jokes about some topics could be challenging and that why rulers should be clear.
Another important fact is to be more empathetic between us try to not mention thing that affect to others or hurt other.
Respect and consideration is a great way to share fantastic moments without disturbances.
I agree with you Verónica, the world lacks emphaty. People should show more consideration with the others in order to avoid any kind of conflict.
Dear Veronica I totally agree with your point of view, communication is absolutely important to keep a healthy relationship, furthermore, people need to practice more about political correctness in order to avoid inadequate use of language or acts.
According to the video, there are many people who feel offended, because sensitivity can be felt at different levels by each person therefore, Political Correctness avoids offending others and helps to use the language correctly especially when someone knows it, but if people are learning, they are not mocking, it is accidentally.
If we talk about political Correctness we are talking about "be respectful", it refers to diversity, tolerance, and multiculturalism.
If you’re respectful, you show consideration and regard for someone or something. Be respectful of your neighbors, your family, and your friends.
The language that we transmit in our reality, it could be in the better way. We need to act in a good way.
Dear María Luisa Loayza, I'm agree with your statement about meaning of be respectful and our ability to identify elements such us diversity, tolerance, and multiculturalism. So that, it is possible when everyone in the information society are aware of the boarders of what is politically correct or incorrect.
In my opinion, Political correctness helps us to interpret the things for their own names, but without offending anyone, for example the talker explains about the term potatoes that means papa into Spanish, sometimes it is for culture or language, that the same word has other meaning. By GLENDA.
Agree with you, Political Correctness helps us to interpret words according to their cultural context.
For me everything about Political Correctness is not bad, all those restrictions, blocks and checks, covering an array of issues, such as racism, sexism and disability - it’s a complicated business indeed. And one that seems to drive some people into terrible rages, fuming at the shackles that are placed on their liberties. So people should mention things with empathy and that's all.
That is it mr. Espinoza. I support your comment, political correctness is not bad at all, wrong is to miss interpret or miss understood the message in some cases.
We absolutely agree with the speaker, when she says that it is best to be guided and not attacked. People must have to avoid expressions or actions that hurt or offend anybody due to, they belong to a minority group and need respect like us. Nevertheless,we have to be emphatic, tolerant and resilient with others.
In furtherance of political correctness refers to being polite and respectful with everyone, without discriminating or disparaging others for their life condition, for instance, we must be careful at the moment of telling or listening to jokes, so we can accept or reject them, to show empathy and be respectful. using appropriate words to address someone and avoiding offending, due to, sometimes we ignore some cultures, customs, and religion.
To summarize, we must put others' shoes on, taking into account their culture and backwardness to show empathy and respect and demonstrating everybody is equal and no one deserves to be disparaged.
People use strong words to attack others. We will be more careful when using these words.
It seems that the video is not offensive, nevertheless there are people who don’t tolerate some kind of jokes due to their sensibility, education or beliefs. I think that everybody has to be respectful and tolerant about the differences between human beings.
Thank you for your opinion, very accurate.
Hi, Lenin I agree with you because I think there are people that could feel offended with some jokes, it depend the point of view of eachone
Excellent view point, we must be respectful with all people.
In my opinion since all point of views it will always negative attitudes!
Treating people well and respecting points of view is not about being humble or educated. Giving opinions, respecting and accepting different opinions is a way to guide our generations without having to offend or attack others for thinking differently, because of their race, or gender.
Being empathetic and using political correctness with others we will achieve a friendly society.
That is the idea, to get a friendly society
In my opinion political correctness try to avoid the margination or disadvantages on the people. For example, some people try to effend to anyone else maybe ,aking comparisons as the words that shows in the video, papa and papà, but we need to be tolerant and not to hide behind to the PC. The empathy and respect are necessary to live in peace.
I agree with you, Monica. Empathy and respect are essential in our lives.
I think that if someone wants to say something in a ofensive way about personality, life’s style, religión, etc, of a person it is because she or he doesn’t know who is herself or himself. For that reason in the video I consider Lauren seems like if she were upset because of the joke her stepmother said about her father “papa” in spanish to refer her father
I think it's Lauren, she's upset because her stepmom was upset about the confusion between Papá and papa.
The main purpose of political correctness is not to allow people to insult, disparage or criticize people that are at a disadvantage than others , have different thoughts or culture . We should start being part of this teaching them how to be nice, respectful and empathetic with everyone.
I totally agree with you, Yese.
I agree with your comment, we must respect the opinion of others and be more empathetic to have a good relationship with those around us.
I agree with you my friend, the most important is being respectful with the others according to their beliefs, differences and points of view.
I agree with you Yesenia , To be respectul and empathetic with other people is the key for the human being.
I totally agree, People must be kinder and respectful with each others
PC refers to the avoidance of harmful terms that promote negative stereotypes. The omission of verbal discrimination is often considered one of the main goals for people today. We must talk or express without offending each other.

María Luisa Loayza, Alejandra Jiménez, Rosa Rocano, Rhommel Castillo
I totally agree with you, is necessary that we should use the language correctly and also the way that we say the things should be keeping the respect and trying to be more emphatic with others with our comments.
I think that Lauren didn't want to offend her stepmother she only wanted to explain a cultural differences in language. As you said it's accidentally.
People when using a word same sound is possible that it will affect other people. Political correctness tries to identify which people use appropriate language. It will affect our emotions in discriminating against others persons in race, religion, and culture.
That's nice Manuel, awesome.
Political correctness control what you say, what you do and what you are, for that reason we have to pay attention the appropriate language.
It is interesting but we know as parents have to teach good forms to our children in order to make respectful and empathic with older people, and we always need to have in mind the cultural differences of diversity, sometimes the people could offend unconsciously. so, our words should be graceful and soft because human beings are happy when we give a good answer, too people are tied to their ethnicity and can´t live beyond it.
It seems to me that the video was interesting because we could listen to how the different reactions could be, for example the stepmother in my opinion overreacted about the joke, so it is important to be conscious about peoples’ feelings or peoples’ point of view according to a specific topic.
Jokes are funny when you laugh about yourself and people that are around you and they can share your ideas or thoughts.
The most important is to eliminate the behavior that is offensive to various groups in order to avoid disparaging or offending others.
congrats my dear. It´s important to be conscious about our actions. That´s it.
