Depersonalization of Persons with Disabilities or Illnesses
Patronizing or Demeaning Expressions
Language That Excludes or Unnecessarily Emphasizes Differences
Sexism
Sexism is the most difficult bias to avoid,in part because of the convention of using man or men and he or his to refer to people of either sex.Other,more disrespectful conventions include giving descriptions of women in terms of age and appearance while describing men in terms of accomplishment.
Avoid This:1.mankind,man 2.man-made 3.man in the street
Use This Instead
1.human beings,humans,humankind,humanity,people,society,men and women
