Your Discussion Topic is: Gender and communication
Overview:
Communicators must avoid gender-bias and all other forms of bias in all documents they write. And they must also be aware that our language is constantly changing. What was acceptable last week may not be acceptable today.
For this exercise, read two online articles about gender-neutral writing. Even though these articles focus on gender, their message can be extended to all bias in writing. When finished reading the articles, answer related questions.
Editing for Gender Neutrality
Why Bother With Gender-Neutral Writing?
These articles can provide a basis for a classroom discussion about "politically correct" language. Discuss words that are politically correct and incorrect and changes that have occurred over the past few years (or months).
In your own thread, labeled with your name in the subject line, answer ONE of the following questions:
1. Why is it so important to recognize and respect change in the meaning and acceptability of words?
2. According to one of the articles, what should the goal of gender-neutral writing be? What is meant by this?
3. Why is "gender-neutral writing" a better term than "nonsexist writing"?
4. How do you think you can best keep up with what language is considered appropriate?
