American youngsters today seem to be blatantly rude, reckless and discourteous not only at school but also in public. The biggest thorn in my eyes is the way that people attend class. Sometimes, to me, the classroom is like a street market. People can come at any time they want or leave at anytime they please. Some are devouring their quick dinner as if they were starving to death as the teacher giving his lecture. Some sit as if they were models whose pictures are being taken by photographers either with their feet resting on the table or leaning listlessly, or should I say, fully stretching out on the filthy little table.
Worse, were Giant Versa rejuvenated and present there, he would be dumbfounded at the way people dress, which is abysmally “fashionable”. Some dress as multistoried as the Scarlet Macaw Parrot. Psychedelic ones wear steel chain on their wrist and show tattoos on their torso as their Heavy Metal idols. Yet, in my opinion, the most magnificent punks are those who turn the classroom into a Victorians Secret show. People certainly cannot dress like that in the office, so why are they allowed to thus dress in the classroom?
Am I too archaic or too conservative toward the way people dress or is it because youngsters today eave lost all the formal taste for fashion? Another fact-that bothers me is the way those fools study. They never do their assignments; yet, they expect to pass the class. And when the teacher asks them if they’ve done their assignments yet, I wonder where do they pull out the guts to be able to reply curtly, ‘I NO! ” which show total disrespect and utter impertinence toward the teacher.
And when the time of examination comes, they try to “bargain” the teacher to give them the easier test or ask for all kinds of help. They are the best in keeping all the tutors down the assistance center busy and they are also the reasons for hundred of adrenaline rushes into my blood since cannot control myself when I hear all kinds of stupid, brainless, and silly questions they ask during the review session. Wouldn’t blame my overwhelming and almost uncontrollable joy as see a big huge D on their test paper.
Alike contagious disease, rudeness has no boundary; it spreads from the classroom to the public. No wonder why, months ago, Bob Dart of the Cox Newspaper ran a burning title, “Land of the mean, home of the rage” as to regard to the rudeness of Americans. I couldn’t agree more. Their surveys have showed that: 60% driver answered that they have usually encountered lid and thoughtless motorists, 73% replied that public relationship was more respectful and polite than it is today, 62% admitted that they felt greatly disturbed and offended to witness crass and coarse conduct.
Mockingly, 44% of those who participated in the survey confessed themselves to have been boorish toward others in the past. Obviously, there will be 18% of these people who misbehaved in public, yet they felt affronted when seeing misconduct. That well demonstrates a don’t-give-a-damn attitude of this society. So who bears the responsibility for the wide-spread Of such wretched behaviors? I would like to first censure the government since they are heavily responsible in this issue. First off, they need to have a tighter grip on explicit music and TV shows.
Though they have stick the decal, “Parental Advisory: Explicit Content” on the outside of a Rap record or heavy metal which contains vulgar, obscene and violent content, they really need to set the age limit for purchasing of these CDC and control it as strictly as they have done toward nicotine product and alcohol. A sixteen-year-old like me can go to a store to buy an album like, “The Mine Show” without being asked for an ID. Also, TV show has been getting “realer” and “realer” with explicit, licentious and stupid show.
How childish it is to replace a long “beep” with an F word, or to use a blurry dot to hide a middle finger because it made no difference. Such things must be restricted because who knows whether kids are watching these shows or not; or at least, one needs to buy or enters some specific statement to prove his or her eligibility of being old enough to watch such programs. Part of the answer of why it is getting so bad has already been partly answered in the article-“Sleep habit leaves Americans tubby, grouchy. As leap deprived, the more workaholic of a nation we become since the reason for that lack of sleep is all for work’s sake: long drive to work, waking up early in the morning to beat the traffic, over time work, and all other kinds. The America is now ahead of Japan and now is “honored” to become the most workaholic nation on the globe. Thrust in the fact that Americans have the fewest holidays as well as no national health insurance, which Europeans have enjoyed for years, the situation seems to be exacerbated. It’s no wonder that Americans are “fraying at the seams of nearly all segments of their society.
