For example, we used to use the word shell shock to represent the horrors of war back in the early 20th century, nowadays people say PTSD for people with the same emotions. Another example would be some people use the word civil disobedience instead of saying simply a riot was going on. Being too politically correct in a way shields the truth of the situation. By creating words with more syllables, its basically sugar coating the truth.</p></blockquote><p></p>
