X-Mailer: TBBS/PIMP v2.55 Distribution: world Date: Fri, 01 Apr 94 00:11:33 Lines: 55 I need some help with a paper I am writing for a college course. The paper is on political correctness and its effects on people on the jobs. I will argue that muticulturalism, and politically correctness training has its place; however, enforced political correctness in the workplace has the same effect as McCarthyism. I will be posting this survey in non-political areas to get the widest cross section of responses so please feel free to answer me in private e-mail. Please answer each question "yes" or "no." Please feel free to include your comments both fore and against "political correctness," though, only those comments that accompany a completed survey will be considered for quotation in my paper. Thank you for your help in advance. Chas McKillop Keeys 1.
