Political correctness was formed as a utopian idea whose main intention was to eliminate offensive speech with the aim of equalizing all groups in society regardless of discriminatory factors such as gender, age, race, religious and sexual orientation... There are various problems that prevent such neutral speech which is proposed by political correctness, namely: lack of supreme authority to decide which terms are acceptable or unacceptable, conflict between freedom of speech versus restriction/censorship of hate speech, semantic problems in implementing political correctness in other non English-speaking countries, redirecting political correctness from social groups which should be protected by it to individuals who make the movement absurd. A big obstacle to the ideal which political correctness is trying to achieve is that greater importance is given to the way something is said, and not to the content itself. Thanks to the high representation of this movement in Western democracies such as the United States, we can study the effects that the use of political correctness has had on society and the implementation problems they have encountered, despite the fact that political correctness has not yet been implemented to such extent in Croatia.
