People differ not only in sex, race, social and psychological characteristics but also in cultural perspective and prejudice. Culture usually includes myths, rituals, stories, and languages, meaning and value of human being passed down from generation to generation. Culture includes groups in which we were born, such as gender, race, nationality. This includes groups that we participate in and participate in, groups such as changes in economic conditions.

Below, I will first explain why gender stereotypes are considered as the cause of gender bias in language and how they produce gender inequality. Next, we will consider how to reflect this content in the language used to represent men and women. Later, I mainly looked at how the structure of many languages ​​deviates to men. In the following chapters we will explain the effects of both sides of using gender-biased languages ​​and explain the subtle forms of implicit language discrimination conveyed through language abstraction. Finally we propose a way to reduce gender bias considerations using gender bias language.

Gender neutral language supporters believe that synonyms and choices are rich in the same language and should be used to avoid discrimination. Today, the use of gender neutral words in academic writing and political speech is very popular not to identify or exclude gender. Many people think that gender neutral words are a good idea, especially from the viewpoint of work and social life. Of course, no one can make you use gender neutral language, there is no such law; this is a personal choice. In addition, even if there is no pressure by gender, everything depends on the situation, situation, and premise, as someone can say phrases that are very humiliating and distinguish gender. However, words neutral to gender are more accurate, and if you want to avoid embarrassment or misunderstanding, we recommend that you pay more attention to your vocabulary.
