How Does Identity Fraud Affect Society

Chivalry. A simple code that in today’s society is almost obsolete. However, society would greatly benefit from chivalrous acts. Our nation has forgotten the meaning of this code that symbolizes honor, bravery, and courtesy. In this constantly changing world, people could use a moral system to live by. If everyone could all agree on a certain way of treating others, the world would be a much better place. Humans lack a common understanding on how to treat others on a daily basis. People are disrespectful to others without even realizing it and they behave poorly in all aspects. They don’t take the time to listen to others opinions before making their own and interrupting to share what they think. In fact, only 55 percent of a person’s time each day is solely devoted to listening to others (Lake). But even in a listening situation, not everyone is getting the message. The ordinary person listens with only 25 percent efficiency (Williams). If everyone would take more time to listen, and listen with complete attention, perhaps they could learn to get along better. One other reason that people have become so disrespectful is because the people they look up to are poor role models. The politicians who run this country are unable to make sophisticated choices

Some people even keep the game going for years, making other people think they met “the love of their life” even though its all a lie. If people can’t be honest with each other, how can they live together
