Deciding which particular words I will use with respect for those of different cultures and communities is a tough challenge. The appropriate use of words for particular diversity and cultures is constantly changing. What was appropriate yesterday may not be today. I am learning to be more sensitive when choosing my words while writing. It can be a sticky situation when you offend people in your writing, even if it was an accident. In the Padgett book there is a variety of common slip-ups. From this point forward I will reference to this book and make sure that I am being respectful and sensitive to all ethnic groups as well as communities around the world.
