    The “American Jerk” written by Todd Schwartz is considered in my opinion a plausible essay. 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.
