Sir Walter Social Commentary
1,436 words
Defining the novel is a challenging prospect
because the act of naming means to circumscribe a
genre that defies rigid codes. The novels

novel and distinguish it from other genres. As
readers, we approach the novel with the
expectation that it will possess novelistic
attributes and judge the novel on its ability to
master these. With this focus in min...

Political Correctness Politically Correct

Report: Politically correct is such an innocent
term. How can anyone be against something so
friendly, something that is supposed to encourage
harmony and peace between all people? My answer is
Ha! Although I do agree that kindness, respect,
and courtesy in our everyday life are to be
promoted, it seems to me that they lose much of
their meaning if they are oppressively forced upon
us by political correctness. That is why there are
no examples in modern times that are quite so
hopeless to me as ...
