PART B_1
Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.
PART B_2
Hi, Emma. Were you able to gather some data for our research about criminality?
|
|
Yes, I was. You were right, squatters in the slum area really have a lot to say about the topic.
|
|
Okay, that is good. However, you should refrain from using words such as “squatter” and “slum area” in referring to them and their place.
|
|
Why is that so?
|
|
The terms which you had just used are now considered politically incorrect.
|
|
What do you mean by political correctness? I just cannot seem to wrap my head around it.
|
|
Based on my understanding, it is a language that is used to give the least amount of offense, especially when describing groups of people.
|
|
Why is it important for us to be politically correct?
|
|
We have to be politically correct to give little to no offense to the people we are addressing.
|
|
What is the politically correct term for squatters and slum areas then?
|
|
The politically correct term for “squatters” is “informal settlers,” while for the “slum area,” it should be an “economically deprived area.” With this, we will be able to avoid offending the feelings of these people.
|
|
That helped me a lot, Ron. Please tell me more about it next time.
|
|
Sure, Emma. For now, let’s call it a night.
