Is political correctness necessary in our world today?

Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, political correctness is necessary in our world today. Now let me explain the details.

First, political correctness encourages an inclusive and accepting community, society, and country. Plus, it helps respect minority opinions, so protects freedom of speech in turn. On the other hand, when threatening or discriminatory speech prevails, people feel vulnerable and insecure, which is unacceptable in our society. In this case, political correctness provides people with an opportunity to think about compassion.     

Next, I understand some may argue that political correctness is only popular in the US, but we know that discrimination exists across the world. So, it is important to use sophisticated expressions to avoid hurting people with words. In this sense, I am optimistic about the positive effects of political correctness on democracy.           

Having said that, finding a balance between anti-discrimination and freedom of expression is an important yet challenging matter. So, we must carefully consider these practices to find out an optimal approach. Thank you for your attention. [182 Words Type-F1]
