The people who are posting discussions regarding sexist language on Flicker are really in a different place than the students taking this COMM 1 class. The students at Sierra College are taking their education and careers seriously and are being taught the “proper” way to deliver a speech in today’s society. The individuals on Flicker are just “shooting the bull” sorta speak about sexist language and are not to be taken very seriously. I would be offended if someone called me a girl. Calling a woman a girl is disrespectful and sloppy. Perhaps it just might depend on when you were born. Every generations see things differently. It is imperative that people who engage in public speaking deliver a politically correct speech. If a speaker delivers a speech with sexist language, his or her credibility will be shot. Another example of how language has changed is trailer parks are now mobile homes. What about man and wife?
