Pragmatics is one of the four components of language. Researches in pragmatics focus on rules and patterns people follow to make their communication appropriately and effectively. For example, conversational rules (- “I have the floor”) and contextual rules can significantly influence or restrict our communication behavior. With those rules, the power relationship of the society is manifested and reinforced. Now, can you tell us, based on your life experience, how those rules (- political correctness) actually are exercising of power in our society? Have you realized that sometimes, the more gigantic "the crap" is, the more it needs to "have the floor" to exhibit itself?
