a controversial or ambiguous term needed!

Hi everyone,
I need to write an essay on a controversial or ambiguous term. For example, I need word like masculine and feminine that has a dictionary definition someone might not agree with. Any ideas would really help!

Thanks,
Sarah

a controversial or ambiguous term

Almost any term currently used in international politics will do.

Jihad is a good one to start with for controversial.
Democratic is a good one for ambiguous.

Hmm. These days, so is "liberal" or "conservative." If you follow American politicis, neither means what it used to!
