Summary/Abstract: With the dawning of postmodernism, an unknown authority called „political correctness” appears. It has no connection with either logic or faith; and not even human rights. It seeks to suppress the expression of the real differences between options and ideologies, which they declare to be discriminatory. The dynamics of communication and the dynamics of social images intersect with the elements of the collective mentality, in which the mentalities of people and social groups play a fundamental role. Changes in the system of mentalities and opinions are only possible if there are significant changes in beliefs. Faith, the essential element of mentality, is the most important source of social prejudices and opinions. Even though some beliefs, with a high psychological burden, generate in some peoples prejudices and opinions despised and blasted by other peoples, belief is generally one of the most valuable assets of a social entity. Prejudices isolate human communities and artificially counter them. They are counterproductive for peoples, nations and national minorities. Because the dynamics of the mentality accepts only slow, imperceptible changes, the incorporation of „political correctness” can be intuited sometime, in a not too distant future.
