Hi everybody, this short segment is what we call for the good of the order.

It's something we used to do at the end of my sorority meetings if you can believe that,

where someone would share something that they came across in the course of the week,

a poem, a song lyric, a short story, that they found enormously helpful as they went

about daily life.

And I wanted to pick up the thread because I am so often wowed by something I see in

the world that I want to bring back and hand off to you.

So every Friday, we produce a short segment called for the good of the order.

Think of it like an audio greeting card.

A thing to share with the people that you love around the country who you don't get to

see or talk to enough.

A thing to discuss with the people you do see and talk to on a more regular basis.

This is Kelly Corrigan Wonders for the good of the order.

Hi guys, for today's for the good of the order, I thought I would share some thoughts

about word choice.

It's super powerful.

We know this from like, I don't know, a legal immigrant versus undocumented worker.

Is a great example where there's one way of phrasing it that makes people sound like criminals

and another way of phrasing it that makes people sound like very hard workers who are

pretty important to the economy and just need a piece of paper.

And this happens of course all day long and it's happening to us and it's one of those

things where a little media literacy goes a long way.
