Keywords:
hate, speech, awareness, discourse, sociolinguistics, speaking backAbstract
Together with the technological advancement, communication has become extremely easy. However, that also entails that some negative information has also become easily available. Hate speech is definitely one of the forms of communication that people often resort to without knowing the harmful effects it might have not only on the addressee, but on the whole community. Even more, some people might not even know what hate speech is or how to identify it when exposed to it. Therefore, it is extremely important to raise awareness about the issue and teach people the coping mechanisms to fight against it.
