Keywords: Trigger warnings; microaggressions; catastrophizing; minority appropriation; relationships with the outside world

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses some phenomena from within the American university system: trigger-warnings, micro-aggressions, catastrophising and, alongside them but more widespread, cultural appropriation, for the purpose of evaluating their legitimacy. The conflict between these phenomena and freedom of speech is highlighted, as an argument often used in challenging the former, but also the conflict with the right to develop relationships with the outside world. The article thereby endorses a key principle of the harmonization of the values of liberty and dignity: there is no dignity without freedom.
