Why The R Word Pledge Is Important

By Thomas Cook


The R word is a phrase that stands for the word retard, or other words that may originate from it, say retards or retarded. The word has been widely discredited and campaigned against, for demeaning reasons. This led to a campaign known as Spread the word to end the word advocacy, which was a national event, whose aim was to depolarize and seize the using of the hostile words, to citizens of the United States. Henceforth, the R word pledge has won massive awareness and influence, in the States.

The advocates of the pledge have insisted that people should use language that is respectful to the dignity and integrity of individuals having mental disorders and disabilities, saying that they are not responsible for their mental woes, and is an act of God, and no man has control over it or can take responsibility for the situation, whatsoever.

These campaigns sprang from a conventional summit that was held on Special Global Youths Activation, which was held on the 31st of March in 2009. Its primary agenda or mission was, and until today, to stop situations whereby people use rather rude words when referring to a certain group of people. The program is usually in recognition of the reality that these affected folks have rights to mingle with the community, and their mental standards should not prevent them from sharing their personal interests and experiences with the rest of the world.

Therefore causal references, they claim, to words like retard or even retarded, are esteem killers, and make the person with the intellectual deficiencies feel like they are more or less, human. This is seen to interfere with their psychology, which may in the end result in them not respecting themselves, and they view themselves as failures.

The enthusiastic youths behind the campaigns generally named their agenda as simply the R word, to represent other many terms that are uncalled for, unacceptable, racial, and impediments to social ethics, for example nigger.

The initiation of the program was amplified by people of all intellectual backgrounds, who had common interests and passion to drive the promotion of ethical language, and physical sentiments that do not hurt any party, emotionally or directly. By so doing, they hoped that the world would be ultimately a better place to live, and everybody would be comfortable.

National celebrations are held every 31st March of each year. The campaign is increasingly gaining popularity to huge flocks of people. For the record, White House Chief Staff was forced by the youth, to make an apology for his regrettable utterance of the term retards.

Many people have lauded the campaigns, and appreciate the manifesto of the activists. People have appreciated the efforts made by the advocates and have offered overwhelming support.
