ISM

Whenever these three letters end a word, a separation seems to be created. For instance, we say Americanism, which means a group of people who act and behave in a certain way and live in a certain geographical boundary. Socialism means living in a social group. Communism or capitalism, mean believing in certain pollical or economical systems. Some people are proud of belonging to any of these groups, and they mention it in their communications. However, there are some words ending in these three letters which are not accepted, and even some people act as if they belong to such groupings, they are not proud of calling themselves those titles, as such titles carry along with them some negative connotations. Examples of such “isms” are sexism, chauvinism, bastardism, and so on.
