2 Complete the passage with the words below to learn about bias-free language.
Like humans, language tends to carry biases, which can lead to discrimination. Academic writing needs to be objective and scientific: neither gender should be preferred. Historically, writing has reflected a bias towards males such as the words ______________ and postman. Now, writers are more careful. Many words that included man have been replaced. For example, police officer is used instead of __________, _______________ instead of chairman, salesperson instead of ______________, humankind instead of ________________ and postal worker instead of _______________. The title Ms is used for women instead of Miss or Mrs, since it does not show whether a woman is married or not.
