Yesterday I tutored So-Young. I had her read this article:

We spoke about PC- political correctness on college campuses. Some vocab from the article: unequivocally, stifling, coddling, superficial, and cultural appropriation. She seemed to enjoy the article and the discussion.
One way that she was able to relate in Korea was instead of saying "handicapped" or "disabled people", they coined the term "disabled friends". She said this wasn't the best term though, since not all disabled people are your friends. I thought it was interesting and wonder how they feel being referred to as such.
