Neat vs Sloppy
The Eternal Debate between the Neat and Sloppy
Neat People vs. Sloppy People by Suzanne Britt takes a unique stance on clutter. The author believes a person preference on their cleanliness is boiled down to a moral standpoint.
Sloppy people are not sloppy, they only have a precise plan that will never come to fruition. She views neat people as wasteful, lazy, and ungrateful.
This stance is unique and interesting but without data it is simply speculation. The author seems to be biased. She says sloppy people “give loving attention to every detail”(256). As a sloppy person myself I reject this. Yes, I sometimes have trouble judging the importance of a piece of paper and keep it. Most of the time I stash useless papers because there simply is no trash can near me.
Furthermore, she believes neat people are self centered and mindless as opposed to mindful. “If anything collects dust, it’s got to go” (256). My mother is the cleanest person I know. he is also very concerned about the environment. She recycles and reuses furniture until it breaks. She has three dogs and each of them are clean. She just prefers cleanliness and cleanliness provides a more positive environment than a Sloppy one.
While I enjoyed reading the story, it seemed whiny and biased. I feel bad for Suzanne for not knowing decent clean people. If she had ever seen the show hoarders she would know that not all sloppy people are morally superior. If she had evidence, this could have been a great
paper.
