swearing

swearing which is also known as a profanity is a word expression or gesture or other social behaviour which is socially constructed or interpreted as insulting rude or vulgar or showing disrespect. I think that swearing can be seen as bad behaviour in certain situations and acceptable in other situations. I think that for example if you were to drop something on the floor and smash it it may be acceptable to swear. However, i think it is bad behaviour to swear in front of grandparents or children as i would never dream of swearing in front of my younger brothers and sisters. I think it is also unacceptable to swear at work it is unprofessional and disrespectful. As i found on many articles on the web many people have been sacked for using bad language. http://http://www.personneltoday.com/articles/2005/06/14/30301/watch-your-mouth-or-pay-the-price-for-foul-language.html

However swearing is seen as a sin so should all swear words in all situations be deemed bad?
