In my opinion, some causes for increased cultural sensitivity would go
deeper than just political correctness. Why are people trying to be
politcally correct? Why are people suddennly aware of this correctness?
Are people trying to understand other cultures more, in a respectful
way? Are people trying to assimilate into other cultures? Are people
trying to make peace of some sort between cultures by possible creating
more respect? I guess my advice to Heather is to go deeper than just
those reasons and maybe ask why...often that will lead to further reasons.
