Iraq war, chips and chocolate laxatives
Article Abstract:
An analysis of western political correctness, its application to contact with other cultures and how it is in fact patronising to these other cultures. It is argued that this political correctness is in danger of turning human rights into just another instrument of power and that it is time for people to stand up for what they believe to be right and to actually criticise and do something about things that they believe to be wrong, even if they are part of another culture.
