Words Matter-2022CLC-A03
Cost -
Words matter. As Gautama Buddha said: “Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.” Words can hurt, help, or heal. Many words have nuances and hidden meanings, known mostly within social, racial, and ethnic groups, and often unappreciated for better and worse by others. Some words can be used directly to discriminate. Some words are wrongly and hurtfully used without conscious intention but sometimes with implicit bias. Some words may be used to help and heal and demonstrate inclusiveness and a shared appreciation of what is common across a wide range of groups.
