Blog 3
When writing about different cultures and communities, one of the challenges I face is what language to use. There are so many words that can represent different races, it's hard to know what is the respectful term. Words that are associated with other cultures often change with each generation and it's hard to know what is the current, sensitive word for a race or culture. It's also a challenge to know what other racial groups call themselves because sometimes it's different from what the public calls that group. Diversity is a growing issue and it's important to use the respectful words when addressing another culture.
