A guild /ɡɪld/ is an association of artisans and merchants who oversee the practice of their craft/trade in a particular area. The earliest types of guild formed as confraternities of tradesmen, normally operating in a single city and covering a single trade. They were organized in a manner something between a professional association, a trade union, a cartel, and a secret society. They sometimes depended on grants of letters patent from a monarch or other ruler to enforce the flow of trade to their self-employed members, and to retain ownership of tools and the supply of materials, but were generally regulated by the city government. A lasting legacy of traditional guilds are the guildhalls constructed and used as guild meeting-places. Guild members found guilty of cheating on the public would be fined or banned from the guild.
Typically the key "privilege" was that only guild members were allowed to sell their goods or practice their skill within the city. There might be controls on minimum or maximum prices, hours of trading, numbers of apprentices, and many other things. As well as reducing free competition, but sometimes maintaining a good quality of work, often these rules made it difficult or impossible for women, immigrants to the city, and non-Christians to run businesses working in the trade.[citation needed]
One of the legacies of the guilds: the elevated Windsor Guildhall originated as a meeting place for guilds, as well as a magistrates' seat and town hall.
An important result of the guild framework was the emergence of universities at Bologna (established in 1088), Oxford (at least since 1096) and Paris (c. 1150); they originated as guilds of students (as at Bologna) or of masters (as at Paris).[1]

Brazil's current Constitution was promulgated in 1988 and completed the democratic institutions. The new Constitution replaced the authoritarian legislation that still remained from the military regime. In 1989 Brazil held its first elections for president by direct popular ballot since the 1964 coup.

Discussion:
Persuasion has the objective of making the audience of one person or more believe and support the presenter's ideas. For example, If I believe that a metal chair supports more weight than a wood one, I would try to persuade with the goal of making people support that claim. The easiest way is with facts. However, even if hard grounded facts, there are some variables that affect my speech effectiveness, in this case, profanity and political correctness.
When considering using those two forms of communication, I have to have in mind other factors: who is my audience? Age? Culture? Reception for profanity or political correctness? What is my setting? Where Am I doing the speech? For example, If I’m in a bar with friends, humor using profanity could be more assertive than the opposite. If I’m in an office, the political correctness could be much more adequate, etc. When choosing between these two forms of communication, I have to choose the most adequate word choice, formality level, slangs, cultural references, academic level in data, etc.
