We live in a time when traditional social values are being re-evaluated and changed, which raises many moral and ethical issues. One of them is whether to swear, i.e. whether using rude, insulting, abusive words and expressions is good or bad. Klāvs Sedlenieks, an associate professor at Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU), a social anthropologist and Head of the Social Anthropology masters’ study program, explains what swearing is.
