Cabecion: Word Analysis
A label I dislike being called is "cabecion," which means big head in spanish. I got labeled that as a kid because I had an afro and it made my head look bigger than it was. Later my cousins would make fun of me for being labeled big head. This holds a connactive meaning of being an airhead or dumb.

The connotative meaning for this is "bruh." I usually literally tell people to stop saying "Vro" or I would try and find words to replace this term. An example, someone say "what's up Vro?" and I would

    In One flew over the cuckoo’s nest, Ken Kesey uses first person narration by a secondary character using a subjective tone. By using an unstable perspective of a schizophrenic Indian, Bromden, results in ambiguity leading the readers to make decisions on which parts of the plot are real and which are hallucinated. Sentence structure and machine imagery help emphasise the ambiguity of the novel by placing the reader through the mind of Bromden. Through using these techniques Kesey mystifies the plot which makes the reader to ponder over whether the plot is real or hallucinated.…

    ‘They were a weird mob, the Australians of 2013’ is written by Hugh Mackay and is an opinion piece that appeared in The Saturday Age on the 26th of January, 2013. It discusses the issues that are currently facing Australia and how as a nation these problems are still left unaddressed. Hugh Mackay believes that addressing these issues will improve our Australian identity and bring us closer together as a nation. He attempts to communicate with as many Australians as he can with these various issues such as asylum seekers, different school funding, global warming and tries to target those that may have a vested interest. He communicates with his wider audience in a condescending tone and presents his opinion in a satirical form by pretending to be from 50 years into the future.…

    Whenever I was young, I remember being called the “smart kid” in school. Even though I was thankful for my intellectual abilities, I felt almost discriminated upon every time I was called by my label. I felt that it was necessary to “dumb” myself down so that I would not receive that attention that I did not want. Having a descriptor made me feel like less of a person and more like a thing. I was no longer and individual to my classmates, but instead, I was some sort of object. Looking back on the past, I realize that those insecurities I had developed and the insecurities that others develop due to their own labels could have easily been prevented by using People First Language.…

    Political correctness

    Political correctness this idea concerns the "proper" names of races, genders, nationalities, and professions. That means that words which used to be common have been changed in an effort to please everyone and offend no one. For example, garbage men (excuse me, not "men," collectors) are sanitation engineers, and some women would prefer to spell the name of their gender as "womyn." I see this political correctness crusade as a power struggle between radicals who want to have their views pushed on everyone else and realists who know that a garbage man is doing the same duties as a sanitation engineer, no matter what the title.…
