Sensitive Style
For the years I have been writing, I never took into consideration how I word sentences or how I say anything throughout the paper. Readers could possibly find sentences or words offending to them when it is not meant to be that way.
Chapter thirty six really opened my eyes to how careful the writer needs to be while writing a paper, book, etc. The writer needs to be sensitive to other culture. Expressions can play a huge role in offending someone from another culture. In my age group, there are all kinds of expressions that we understand and use every day. What seems to us as normal and not offending could easily be offending to another person who does not understand the meaning behind the saying. My age group needs to be aware of what we say because it could be offending to older age groups or other people coming from a different culture. That being said, the writer should always be respectful in every way possible. I think to be a great writer you need to respect others including yourself. I know I would not want to read a book, paper, etc. if it was not respectful to a certain type of group, sport, etc. I would take offense to something that bashed another thing. If the writer respects society and himself/herself they will come a long way and be a respectable writer.

The reason that most students forget about being sensitive to cultures is because they are thinking about their teacher instead of the real-world audience they should be writing for. A student will work hard not to offend the teacher if she is black or short or cross-eyed. But then, for a different teacher, will write a different way for his or her possible sensitivities. Rather, in any college writing class, one should always be worried about the entire possible audience!
