In this decade, many have become sensitive and on-edge to the remarks people make, causing strife and hostility amongst individuals. Especially in the journalistic realm, this sensitivity has forced journalists to "hold back" a question or response, in order to protect people's feelings.
Personally, I have discovered, through the required reading for JMC classes, there are countless words deemed unacceptable amongst different cultures. For example, I was originally going to use the word "races" instead of "cultures" in the previous sentence. However, I remembered the term "races" is socially unacceptable. This is one example of many word usages that I find extremely challenging.
