Swearing has become a natural part of the
society. It can be said that almost everybody uses swear words , particularly popular is it among youngsters and teenagers . In this paper I am going to discuss the positive and negative sides of
swearing and why people swear.
Firstly,
people swear beacause it helps to relieve stress and blow off steam,
like crying does for small children , to camouflage a person 's fear or

distort people's memories. Emotion starts with a process of cognitive appraisal to assess whether the situation is relevant for survival, well-being, goals or values. Emotions cause people social exchange and sharing, which serves as rehearsal of the memory. Memory researchers have studied the relation between confidence and accuracy inside and outside the laboratory, and for many types of events. Overall, confidence and accuracy are weakly related. People often swear by inaccurate memories. In general, distinctive and emotionally arousing events in our lives have a memory advantage. However, even for such events, a memory can feel like it happened just yesterday when, in truth, it is foggy.

Since I don't have an educational theory neatly worked-out, nor an outline of my perceptions, my intent is to address each educational ingredient that comes to my m
