Abstract
In our era, planning has evolved into a more catholic and eclectic discipline. As a result, it has become hospitable to concepts and terms from other disciplines and professions. At times, planners also use the buzzwords that show up in the public discourse of these disciplines and professions, as well as in the news media, official reports, and other informational material targeted at elite and college-educated Americans.
