Political Correct Society

Blog #5
I really appreciated the story from the newspaper that you shared with us during class. It was about the incident during the Academic Decathlon. When I heard the motives the superintendent was apologizing for, my mouth dropped! I couldn't believe it! He felt forced to apologize ahead of time, just Incas someone called in that felt offended with the idea of taking a siesta. It just doesn't make sense that he had to do that, when the theme was Latin America with an emphasis in Mexico. I'm positive that he was upset when he was writing his apologies. What are we to blame? Of course, the idea of having a political correct society. We don't offend others, and therefore don't say things that might be in question. I see nothing wrong with that, I actually think it was kind of cool, that the competition was closed in that manner. Although, we are living in this era, where we don't have as much freedom to exchange language as before. It is unfortunate that this kind of stuff happens in our society today.
