WEEK 12

WEEK 12
Most people have been bullied sometime in their lives and know the pain it can cause. Being politically correct was put in place to protect people from verbal violence so this is not done to those who cannot protect themselves. Yet I’m sure many of you know what it is to be blamed for something you didn’t do, or have been treated unfairly. This is why I am researching the negative effect political correctness has on society.Although Political Correctness was put in place to protect people, it seems that people have forgotten the intended purpose and are abusing it. Through its original creation, opinions of how it has gone wrong, and ways to revise it use, you will understand why things are getting the way they are.


I made my intro to not be too long so that I can get in the main information. Along with going with people’s emotions by bringing up events that most people have gone through that they don’t like. This way the reader is connected in feeling and interest. Then I stated my thesis and main points.

wallet return, about 55 years. This interesting story is located in the great state of Washington so I thought I would bring light upon the subject. Recently a pair of classic car collectors found an interesting object in an old vintage 1946 Hudson car they are planning to restore. Now when fixing up most old things many interesting things can be found, old coca cola cans, weird parts, you name it. But in this situation an old wallet with “some small change - the leather wallet held a $10 bill, Mr Goodlove's military ID, his Social Security card, his driver's licence and several jewellery receipts from 1952. But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam.”. Intrigued by their new find the men looked on the internet to find this Glenn Putnam but were unsuccessful until they researched more and saw he had changed names and addresses. After a phone call that started off as two strangers, talking about a story neither one was knowledgeable about, the past owner realized the whole story. He lost his wallet while on break from the nave. One night he took his fathers car up to a lookout with a fine young lady and somehow lost his wallet. The wallet is being returned after 55 years. So if you lose a wallet wait 55 years before you give up on it, because you never know if you’ll finally get the call saying someone has found your wallet.
