Welcome to the "Bad Language in the Workplace" video lesson intended to warn against using profanity at work. This video lesson, "Variables of Bad Language," discusses various aspects of cursing and explains why these variables need to be considered when setting an organizational culture. In this lesson, learners will become aware of the prevalence of cursing in the workplace and learn why people curse. They will also come to realize a few surprising benefits of cursing (though it still doesn’t have a justified place at work). Finally, viewers will learn the three types of cursing: habit, impolite, and discriminatory.
