"PC" or "Politically Correct" refers to language, policies, or measures intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to particular groups in society. The goal of being politically correct is to promote inclusivity and respect for diverse backgrounds, including race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability.
Critics of political correctness argue that it can lead to censorship or limit free speech, while supporters believe it fosters a more respectful and understanding environment. The concept has become a significant topic in discussions about social justice and cultural sensitivity in various settings, including workplaces and educational institutions.
