Offensive_Language

Offensive Language Offensive and Assaultive Due to the differentiating lifestyles and the changing values of today’s society, the line between assaultive and offensive language is unclear. To know the boundaries of certain people or groups is important when discussing particular issues or subjects that some hold close to heart. Figuring out these boundaries is a problem that people experience everyday. The audience judges what language is offensive and what is not. Then again, it is a subject that depends mostly on the ideas of the audience. For example, you would not discuss detailed sexual interactions with a kindergarten class. You would also not tell your grandmother how nice women’s breasts appear. These are all things that can be found offensive. Offensive language is rude, in that it is not polite or accepted in the place where it is being spoken. It disagrees with the personal beliefs of those who find it offensive. The line between offensive and assaultive language is so narrow and unclear that many of today’s disputes come by misinterpretations of both. Assaultive verbal language is at times taken simply as bad language or crude comments.
