Melanie Stone- Sensitivity

There are several challenges of using language with sensitivity and respect for those of different cultures and communities. Most of all, because it's a different culture than the writer's culture, it's hard to know what is offensive and what is acceptable to say in another communities language. It's important to be respectful, so a writer must always be aware of what will not offend a particular culture. This can be difficult because of the many cultures of the world, and the fact that each is different. The culture and communities in the United States are very different from cultures in Africa and other parts of the world and it's hard to learn how to be sensitive with each.
