Rudeness is taking over the nation
Rudeness is on the high rise in the nation, everywhere I’ve looked I see rudeness on a daily and it’s really sad to see in a nation that should be so grateful for all the opportunities we have. People no longer smile in public towards one another, no longer thank each other, hold the doors for each other, and when in crowds don’t try to avoid bumping into each other. Others are no longer acknowledging people period. Rudeness is taking over our nation because people live by treat other how they treat another, not treat others how they wish to be treated. When walking in public people are to busy on their phones, either talking on them or pretending to do something important on them, because they don’t want to look at other people. Being in public there are millions of people walking around and yet I could feel so alone because so many people choose to not acknowledge me or anyone else that walks by them. I feel as though people don’t want to acknowledge someone else because then a conversation might strike up and they would be forced to talk to a stranger, or because then they might feel they would have to acknowledge everyone who walks by them. If a person were to need help in public, the crowd would be rude and become the bystander affect instead of helping a fellow

So when a person is going the opposite way of a crowd they are shoved and pushed because the crowd stays strong and when a crowd is coming towards an individual they seem like a brick wall moving in the same direction. No longer excuses himself or herself for bumping into another person, because they don’t feel their wrong. Going into public there are so many opportunities to be courteous to another, but why ne courteous to someone who doesn’t give thanks for the kind

    Everyone should treat others respect. No matter how hard it is, you should still at least try because coming out of the situation, you know you did your personal best to be nice to the person. If you don’t make the right decision, you could have guilt hanging over your head for a while. You have to think about what you are going to do or say before you actually do it because the effect afterwards could be extremely bad. These are the ideas that came to my mind when I was reading “Grace is Good” by Stephanie.…

    Have you ever wondered why incivility in public places seems to be spreading rapidly like fire?

Incivility has many factors that triggers them they are: behaviors, lack of respect, unsociable, impiety, abduct, etc. When I hear incivility in public places, I think of what I have heard and seen on ABC 33/40 news every morning.

    It is human nature, I suppose, this natural desire to fit in. We create relationships and search for accord in a likeminded crowd. With few exceptions, humans instinctually long to belong. We have all experienced this longing - those situations where we wish for even the slightest nod or hint of attention from another person, a bit of acknowledgement for accomplished work. Recall the variety of thoughts that emerge in particular social situations or at a workplace: e.g., “first day of school, will I have any friends”, “wow she is gorgeous, I hope to talk to her”, and “will my boss notice my job well done and finally give me that raise?”…

    The presentation about Chapter 18, Behavior in Public Places, talks about general behaviors and common manners around public places in the United States.
