Swearing

Swearing, also known as bad or foul language is used by everyone on a daily basis. Even though it is used on a daily basis, it does not make it right. There are a number of reasons as to why people swear. They can range from them being angry and expressing their feelings to simply being a bad habit. Whatever the reason, bad language is not permitted within many people’s views.

In today’s society many people have become immune to others using foul language around them. The youths of today are suspected mainly of using swear words as their everyday language. However, it is not only the youths who use such language. Swearing is becoming a norm for society. People swear regardless of how it may impact other people. For example people may get offended by the use of bad language but may not say anything. Because people do not say anything, it does not make it right.

I believe that the use of foul language is simply wrong. It is morally wrong and is offensive to people. People may swear when they are angry or frustrated but it should not be used as everyday language like it is in today’s society.
