Politically Correct!
The modern politically correct movement began at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which is one of the most liberal colleges in the United States. Political correctness is a liberal degrading of the freedom of speech. Words or actions that violate political correctness are called politically incorrect.
At American universities, liberals began imposing political correctness to prevent recognition of differences among gender, religion, belief system, sexual orientation and nationality. At American universities, liberals began imposing political correctness to prevent recognition of differences among gender, religion, belief system, sexual orientation and nationality.
An example of political correctness is the changing terminology used to described handicapped people. In the past the term "crippled" was perfectly acceptable and not considered offensive. At some point, Americans like Senate Republican leader Bob Dole decided "crippled" was degrading and the preferred term changed to "handicapped." This, too, was eventually deemed offensive and "disabled" became the preferred term. Today, even "disabled" is considered degrading to some and "differently abled" and "physically challenged" are used by those people.
Here you have other examples!
Bald=Hair disadvantaged
Ugly=Cosmetically different
Fat=Horizontally challenged
Wife=Domestic incarceration survivor
Negro=African American
Dead=Living impaired
Homeless=Residentially Flexible
Pregnant=Parasitically Oppressed
Alive= Temporarily metabolically abled
Perverted=Sexually dysfunctional
Body odor=Non-discretionary fragrance
Poor=Financial inept

Some of the new politically correct words are often criticized for being rather ridiculous. Some examples of these are the terms ending in challenged. For example, someone who is very short might be described as "vertically challenged". People also say that things that are obviously bad are called by something else which hides the fact that they are bad. For example, young people who are in trouble with the law, instead of being called "juvenile delinquents" became "children at risk".

The Story Of Chocolate!
Chocolate comes from the cacao tree, which is formally known as Theobroma Cacao.
Cacao trees flourish only in the hot, rainy tropics, in a swath 20 degrees north and south of the Equator. You can find them in West Africa, South-East Asia or in Central and South America.
The shape of the fruit is oval and its name is "pod".
The pod is open and, inside it, there are some beans; the beans are separated and they are put on banana leaves.
After a period of fermentation, when the beans are ready, they are send to factories.
"Theobroma" means "Food of gods".
WHEN CHOCOLATE BECOMES A WORK OF ART!
Chocolate is delicious, we all know that. But it isn't just for eating, as these chocolate works of art clearly show.
-Chocolate wall:
The World Chocolate Wonderland is a theme park in Bejing(China). One of its attractions is a 12-metre-long replica of the Great Wall of China made entirely out of chocolate. There's also a chocolate BMW, as well as chocolate replicas of more than 600 Terracotta Army warriors.
-Chocolate couch.
In 2009, chocolate company Galaxy used 250kg of their own chocolate to make a chocolate couch. The couch was part of their "Irresistible Reads" campaign, which was designed to promote reading. It was put on display in Victoria Embankment Gardens in London.
-Chocolate shoes:
One of London's greatest chocolatiers, Phil Neal, once created a collection of high-heeled shoes made of chocolate.

-Chocolate hotel suite:
In 2011, French chocolatier Patrick Roger worked with fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. Together, they created a chocolate hotel suite as promotion for the ice cream company Magnum. The room, at the La Reserve hotel in Paris, had a chocolate carpet, chocolate bed and a chocolate nightstand full of chocolate books. Sitting on the bed was a chocolate man eating a Magnum ice cream.
