Pimary Research

My survey proved that there are a lot of people who use racial slurs. but there are also a lot of people who do not. the evidence shows that most people feel that slurs have mostly to do with racism and stereotypical behavior.Sometimes it is very unfortunate that people use these words in a negative way. maybe someone will make slurs that reflect positively on a specific race or culture.

secondary research

In my research, I have also learned about the other side of racial slurs. It is also considered comical and not meant to be offensive(obviously not for the light hearted)although this may or may not be appropriate. It should be understood that in some situations it is not meant to offend anyone.

My Research Questions

How do slurs evlove? Do slurs evolve? Who uses them? What do people think about the use of racial slurs? Are they used a lot?

My Research Plan

In this project, i want to find out if racial slurs evolve and how. i also want to find out if the people who use them and say them have anything to do with it or say about it. I will use surveys and articles to find my research.

My Research Goal

My goal is to research the terms and words that are used as racial how they may or may not evolve. this is very important to me because i want to understand how these terms came to be. wouldn't you? so far it seems most of the terms evolve with society. And the evolution of their stereo types, for example. mexacan people because of their diet, are often called beaners. Wheather this is appropriate or not, it is one example.

My Language Beliefs

I believe that language is one of the most important forms of communication that we use there are many different forms of language all very imoprtant if we didn't have language we would very confused. i believe that some of lifes greatest experiences are only possible because of language, art would be nonexistant, and everything would be tremendously boring. Language is probably one of the best things about life. Thus in proof dramatically prudent for survival. we as human beings are exceptionally lucky. we have the best forms of communicaton. I came upon this belief when i was in kindergarten, and i took spanish for the very first time. Language is necessary! some of our guest speakers like Ms.Thortan and Ms. Beveridge have proved that we need it more than ever. i think we all agree.
