Word Police Analysis

Essays introducing new ideas to the topic of equality are always interesting. So obviously with the articles “Race

Matters” by Cornel West and “Word Police” by Michiko Kakutani anyone would be intrigued by their controversial titles.

Contrary to to Cornel West’s title, His article addresses the fact that race does not matter because everyone in the USA

are American, and that major changes to society's process of ‘fixing’ the race problem need to be made. Michiko Kakutani’s

essay points out that equalists have taken extreme and oppressive measures for equality that are not helping the real

issues at hand. Both pieces have interesting exigencies that are underlying throughout the entirety of both of the papers,

and West's paper is

All he does is introduce the topic in the

middle of the paper, its not even in his closing. If really had conversion on his agenda, he would make religeon have more

of a presence in his paper.At some points West may have a slight bias, but he stays pretty nuteral towards all races

throughout his essay. His use of exigency is uncanny, and ,yes, it is enough reason to write a paper.

In “Word Police” Michiko Kakutani’s exigency is an instance where she was told to be more politically correct in her

language. Michiko Kakutani is a well known author featured in many well known publications. There's no way all of her

passages are uberly politically correct by certain peoples standard, so someone probably said something to her and this

was her response. Her reasoning for writing this essay is almost selfish because she is using it to justify her own

actions rather than to enlighten the reader or anyone for that matter. This is prevalent when she mocks other people’s

thoughts to spite them. A perfect example is when referencing politically correct dictionaries she states “Somehow

It may be a ridiculous suggestion but it's disrespectful to make it a

mockery. The author lets the reader know that obviously this paper is a revenge to someone who offended her and that is

not a proper reason to write this essay. She makes valid points but the underlying reasoning for making these points is

almost disturbing. He chose each word carefully as his exigency, bias and point of view are oozing from this sentence. How

is the reader supposed to trust the author if they are writing statements with no proof that are obviously biased? The

points he is making are not necessarily incorrect, but they are untrustworthy.

In conclusion, It is obvious that Cornel West and Michiko Kakutani in their respective pieces have utilized and

demonstrated exigency and bias incorrectly.In comparing both authors piece’s exigencies, it is found that they are

referenced throughout each of the papers. Sadly, their exigency has ulterior motives than just what the Author’s claim to

be their purpose. The claims made are arguably legitimate , however the authors are writing for the wrong reasons. At the

end of the day have both authors left behind their bias in order to establish proper exigency for their essays, I think
