Language evolves to reflect changes in societal attitudes and norms. For example, terms related to gender and identity have changed as our understanding of these concepts has evolved. Words like “they” as a singular, gender-neutral pronoun have gained recognition as society becomes more aware of and accepting of diverse gender identities. This shows how language not only mirrors but also helps shape societal values.
