The article “Is Anything Wrong With This Picture” and the informational text “How The Telephone Made America Rude” by Lauren Tarshis and Kristin Lewis the article gives examples of why people should have good manners. People should have good manners because it makes others feel better, the article states “Good manners make other feel good-they put people at ease” (Tarshis and Lewis 25). This shows why people should have good manners because it makes others feel good. If someone feels better about themselves they may become a nicer person to other people. Another way the article says that people should have good manners is “A century ago, experts feared that a dazzling new invention was turning Americans into a bunch of animals” (Tarshis and…
I think the main idea of this essay is author using his own experience to tell us about that personal stereotype and ourselves' inattentive behaviours can alter public space in ugly ways. And the purpose is trying to teach us how to handle that situation with precautionary behaviours, do not judge people by appearances, and even you had been stereotyping, just be calm.…
Are you qualities of loyalty, courage, truth, and honor still valued? Explain your answer. Yes because you aren’t going to get anywhere in life if your rude.…
The United States of America is unlike any other country in the entire world, representing nearly 200 nationalities within its citizens. Naturally, due to these statistics, everyday people from different ethnic backgrounds are forced to interact with each other and exchange differing social and cultural norms. In this process, it seems to frequently happen that those of one race treat those of another in a poor manner, whether it is a subtle action or a profound one. From a personal standpoint, I work in a restaurant where many different people of every race come to eat on a daily basis. A restaurant is somewhere that it is possible to observe many cruel interactions between two different races. Certain races are associated with certain tipping behaviors, which therefore form schemas in the minds of servers. Ultimately, these ideas cause them to unfortunately act accordingly due to the preexisting idea they have about a certain race.…
When reading the story people may start thinking how that comes off a little rude. People throughout the world today are very rude. When looking at society today other than back when there was not much technology people were nicer and more caring of other people and not always so focused on themselves. As technology kept getting bigger and more out there that is when people started to notice the change in today’s society. Technology today people post about how someone did something they did not like, how someone cut them off while driving, or how someone made them mad and they call them names that is the stuff you see today and which is rude. Being rude to people will not change anything, it will only cause more problems then what someone may have started with. When people are rude to others and the other people see what someone is saying about them on social media or hearing someone talk about them behind their backs. The people will either take matters into their own hands and do something no one will like only because they are tired of being pushed around and bullied. When a person is rude it does not do any good to that person or anybody they enter act…
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.…
For many years researchers have observed that while humans are in a certain social setting they have conducted themselves in accordance to what is acceptable to their group. Humans are social beings who want to be accepted by others and will adapt their behavior according to what the group believes to acceptable. When a member of that group steps out of those parameters they are no longer seen as a member of that group and are frowned upon as being a norm violator. While many humans violate social norms every day, the majority of humans do not. It has been observed that people promote and support social norms to benefit the social good of society; they do it because they want to. It also has been shown that humans are prewired to act negatively to those who take advantage of others when they violate the standards of acceptable social norms. The negative emotions may be the motivation to justify why a certain set of norms are acceptable to their society (Horne, 2007, p.4).…
Oftentimes in society, we take many things for granted. Many things we may not even notice. We take for granted the safety of the normality of our lives. We also take advantage of the care and precision that goes into keeping that way. In our safe society the behaviors we display are expected to be courteous and polite. Society does not expect the people in it to be rude or without manners. Our society is like this because we are always being watched, being regulated. Many times people have wondered what would happen if we were not always watched. We wonder if man would be evil or good. That is exactly…
Personal space. All people value this as social boundary and create appropriate norms. As we were assigned this task of violating a social norm in public, I began to consider all the strange personal space norms our society and campus holds. For example, while riding the bus if there a few people on it, you are typically going to sit two seats or more away from one another. However, when the bus is packed to the brim, which is the only time you are permitted to sit right beside a person or stand right up next to them. I found this fascinating; how in our campus society, people try to stay as far away from each other as possible. Moreover, the reason behind why I decided to violate this norm on the way home from class.…
According to the article "Is There Anything Wrong With This Picture" by Lauren Tashis and Kristian Lewis is seems to be that because of phones and other technology, people are more rude than they were in the past. After reading over this article and looking at all the evidence I determined that having good manners benefits everyone. First of all, people with good manner tend to be more successful. For instance, in this article the author states that "Studies show that teens with good manners are more likely to be successful: they get better grades, and are more impressive in job interviews. This shows that having good manners can help you get good grades and even secure you a job. Another great piece of evidence to support my claim is that…
I think that we all want to be respected and be accepted. I was raised to respect everyone. “It doesn't matter if they are younger, older or different from you.” That's what my parents would tell me as a kid and I have always listened to that. At the mall, everyone goal is to mind their own business and get what they needed and leave but everyone still wants to be respected. Even though people want to be respected sometimes they forget what they are doing is wrong and that they are not respecting a person for who they are. Even giving a person a suspicious look or glaring at them is considered disrespectful in my discourse community.…
When I conduct observations, I notice that the angry young woman makes efforts to restrain her anger and does not shout at the man. If she were at home, she would not have been so restrained. The restaurant is a public space and interactions in restaurants are conditioned by manners and customs (Yan, 2005). When dining out, people need to act in accord with the environment. It is absolutely impolite to shout in public places. However, the restaurant is a casual rather than formal dining place and makes people relaxed and comfortable.…
One solution presented by Tarshis is to pay attention to the needs of others in public spaces (19). Notice that others are keeping a distance or giving distaining looks is a certain indicator to tone down the action causing disruption. On occasion, people just have bad habits to which they are unaware; therefore, someone must take responsibility to inform them when they are committing this disruptive act (Tarshis 17). Often times, people are leery to speak up in public situations because they are afraid of being classified as rude themselves. This fear breeds the rude behavior that is rampant in our country; therefore, in order to help curtail rude behavior a person only need to politely educate others related to changes that may alter current…
As children learn from example, and by disrespecting them, you are creating a never ending cycle that ends with only losers. When they rebel they are shoved back into their boxes with more force and when they stop, they are rewarded. They are taught to be respectful of their elders, but not the people younger than them. Disrespect causes both ends to…
etiquettes from our family. Some families don’t share the same morals and live hating others and then that ignorance gets carried on to generation to generation building the cycle of rudeness.…
