Kelley Jones-Sensitivity

Using language with sensitivity and respect for different cultures has proven to be quite difficult. There are terms and phrases that I once thought to be politically correct and now I have recently learned otherwise. It is challenging to become knowledgeable of all aspects of different cultures in order to write about them respectfully. Not to mention that some of the terms and phrases that were previously acceptable to refer to certain types of people are now considered outdated or even offensive. However, in order to become a well-informed and culturally literate writer, one must be aware of the importance of respect for other cultures.
