Add Sticky NotePolitical correctness, PC-ness or PC-ism is a term mostly associated with liberals and liberal thinking. The basic gist of PC-ness is the idea that you shouldn't offend people, but it extends beyond that; you shouldn't do things that might offend people. Furthermore, everything you do is potentially offensive to someone, no matter how mundane it seems to you. Taken to its extreme, PC-ness is "left-wing censorship." It is frequently assumed within the context of PC that white males are not really offended by anything, but that women, racial minorities, and religious minority groups are "sensitive" to "careless speech." Women in particular are used as an example, partly because some feminist groups really do go way too far, insisting that the word "human" is offensive because it contains the word "man"

- Pre-judgements. People make their minds up to varying degrees before they have a group discussion. The information on which they make their pre-judgement is likely to be shared information available to everyone. Then, when the group discussion starts, whether consciously or unconsciously, people tend to only bring up information that supports their pre-judgement. Surprise, surprise, it's the same things everyone else is bringing up.
- Anxiety. Before a meeting people are unsure how important the information they know is, and are also anxious to be seen in a good light by others in the group. Information that emerges during a meeting as shared by the group comes to be viewed as more important and so people repeat it. People are seen as more capable when they talk about shared rather than unshared information (Wittenbaum & Bowman, 2004). To be on the safe side people prefer to stick to repeating things that everyone knows and, bizarrely, others like them better for it.
Together these points begin to show why it is very likely that people will fail to share information known only to themselves.
