In this segment, students will learn that terms of endearment, slang, street language, off-color jokes, swearing and racial or gender epithets are not only offensive in the workplace but can also be considered illegal in many cases. No boss wants to run the risk of a lawsuit because a worker cannot control his or her language. In addition, students will see how inappropriate use of language can lead to hurt feelings and create an unprofessional atmosphere that undermines productivity.
