Agree in principle. Ive previously mentioned my concerns about the use of certain words but you usually get the anti-PC police on your case explaining to be that its "banter", an argument I've heard about a number of words over many decades.
Some of the arguments about antisocial behaviour - the behaviour (which I've also experienced first hand) is a result of a complete lack of trust in society and the lack of trust of institutions and individuals, from those with little expectation in their own lives. Usually as a consequence of deprivation, poverty, inequality, and multiple adverse childhood and adulthood life experiences.
A more compassionate society and culture mitigates some of the side effects of trauma, but it starts with sympathy and empathy rather than a lack thereof. |
