- Political correctness sometimes gets a bad rap by people who think that it is just a way to censor their right to free speech; however, Cornell University has proven that it can actually increase the creativity of work teams that are comprised of both men and woman.
- This is challenging the idea that in order to have a truly creative team, everyone should be allowed to speak their minds, whatever the consequence.

Can you tell the difference between being politically incorrect and being candid?
