The two common mistakes from the article I think are the most important ones are “Jumping to conclusions” and “Attacking the person”. For “Jumping to conclusions”, I experienced this situation before, and I think this will lead us into a very bad position. Something that you think is true is actually not true, so you need to find the proof and don’t judge something before you find out that is correct. For “Attacking a person”, don’t attack a person basic on what you heard about or think about. Because it might be wrong, different people have different thoughts and it is not fair for someone, and sometimes the truth is not what you think. The action I will take is be more careful by using

Schwartz shows us ways how society has minimized its civility simply by the everyday actions and activities we participate in. This essay gives examples of how politics, social media, economics, and home life struggles affect how we behave. Schwartz mentions the use of off-colored racial jokes being on the same level of disrespect as someone talking loudly on a cell phone. Schwartz gave reasons for our rudeness.…

    Classroom management is crucial for every teacher to have in a successful learning environment. I believe that students need to be controlled and disciplined; students at this age need to be guided in the right path.

If they maintain busy with instruction then they will not have time to be disruptive and they need to be guided to behave appropriately.…
