Introduction:
Capture the Audience’s Attention:
Has anyone here ever been called something offensive as a joke or even casually? This is something that many people face daily, but is it really ok? Introduce the Topic: When you say something in public are you entirely aware of whom it may be impacting? In today’s day and age words are a powerful weapon that some use without even knowing it. Next time you say something think about where you are and who could overhear it and how it can be perceived. Establish Importance:

In a politically correct world where many words have become taboo why are there still so many words that offend on a daily basis but still are not considered offensive? We may never know, but with the help of compassionate people maybe these words can be put back into their place. To better explain why offensive language should not be used in public one must understand when joking with offensive language is ok, why we need to redefined “gay”, and how offensive words can affect a person.
