The introduction explains why these languages were chosen, and why the term political correctness cannot be unambiguously defined.

The reasons for support, but also the reasons for opposition to the political correctness are discussed, as well as the impact of the political correctness on the societies that speak these languages. Special emphasis is placed on the impact of the process of decolonization on the emergence of the political correctness phenomenon in the societies that have gone through that process. At the end of the paper, a conclusion is presented with reference to the similarities and differences in political correctness in the three languages and the countries in which they are spoken
