Michael Rybinski-Taboo Words


2/25/13
In class we discussed the concept of taboo words. The reason we consider words to be “taboo” is because they are capable of invoking a certain response that can be exceptionally powerful. I have noticed that in contemporary society more and more words are becoming taboo. It seems that we are trying to shelter ourselves from any type of emotion whatsoever. I find this to be a sad facet of our current culture. If we are consistently shut off from being able to express emotion, then what do we have left?
