'Sticks and stones may break my bones,

but names will never hurt me'.
Here you can read the text Mónica and Beatriz talked to us about today. In fact, there are three parts:
1. What's in a name?
2. Who has the power?
3. Taking the power back

What do you think? Can we change attitudes towards people by changing the way we talk about them? Is politically correct language useful?

You can also listen to people talking about how it feels to be discriminated against for being "disabled" or "coloured". They have Scottish accent.
