    The document provides politically correct alternatives to commonly used terms relating to gender, abilities, character, experiences, morality, jobs, and socio-economic status. Some examples include using "first-year student" instead of "freshman", "visually-oriented" instead of "deaf", "unsavory character" instead of "criminal", and "sanitation engineer" instead of "janitor". The purpose is to avoid offensive language and be sensitive to different groups and individuals.
