Rudeness!!!!


Rudeness seems to be all around us. Does it seem that people have forgotten how to be "nice" to others and treat others by what the Golden Rule says: "do onto others as you want them to do to you"? Take the rudeness quiz. How did you do? Tell the class about it in a well written paragraph.


Here is a hint. I will not publish a comment that is not written well (at least five sentences) and spelled correctly with good grammar. I recommend that you key it to a word document and spell check it. Cut and paste it to the comment box, then post it! Remind me to talk about it for you!

Rudeness is something that is very wrong to be. Everyone has their rude moments, though. It is important to try to be considerate to people. As they say, "Treat others as you wish to be treated." It's hard to be considerate all of the time, but try as much as you can.

On the rudeness quiz, I found out alot of things about myself that I need to change. For instance, always being late is something that is rude. I need to work on that, because usually I am late for something. Also, gossiping about someone is something I have done in the past, but now that I look back on it I am ashamed. Another thing I need to work on is that I usually cut in lunch line at school every day. Being by my friends is not more important than being polite.

I would like to think that I am not a rude person. My mom says I am rude to her but we are all in someways to the people we love. I tend to be rude while I am at school more than any other place. Being polite is something I think is important to be. That is how I feel about being rude.

I think that people don't know how to be nice anymore. Rudeness is a major problem because it tells the world what type of person you are by your actions. I did very well on the rudeness test because I am not a rude person. My parents stress the need for manners in our house and that is what every house should be doing. Rudeness is a problem because you are not being treated with the respect that you expect from others. Always remember that if you treat others the way you want to be treated, you will never have to worry about being rude.

Rudeness can be interpreted in many different ways. I think it is rude to belittle people or make some one feel inferior to you. Rudeness may also be in the form of doing things that make people feel uncomfortable. I’m not saying that I’m a perfect person but I do try. That’s all anyone can ask of you. Oprah is just trying to make the world a better place. If everyone were nice all the time think about how great that would be!!

Many people in this world are rude to others around them. I believe that basically everyone can be rude at one point or another. I do not consider myself to be a very rude person. When I am around others I think about how I would want to be treated so that is how I treat others. On the rudeness quiz I did not do horribly. The only questions that I may have been rude on were the questions that said something such as have you ever gossiped. I believe that everyone has gossiped or talked on the phone while typing an email at least once in their lives. Rudeness is a continuing problem in the world and it is all around us so I think that during childhood the child should learn some basic life skills and how to be polite.

Rudeness can be someone’s own option, like I don’t feel texting in the movie theater is rude if it doesn’t disturb anyone. Everyone can be rude at some point, and everyone will be rude some time in their life. We have to be careful about how we conduct ourselves because it might hurt another person and we didn’t attended it to be like that. Like they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and rudeness is kind of the same way, it depends on who you are talking to. So next time think before you act.

For Natalie,

What you wrote is good, but your mom should be the last person you should ever be rude to.

Well seeing by the rudness quiz I just took I can be very rude at times. Although everyone can be rude at times. I believe rudeness is a choice of attutiude. We all have the choice of what actions we are going to take. Often we think about our decisions by what the consequences will be rather then how it will impact the feelings of others. Being rude is a very offensive thing and if your are rude it is hard to maintain close relationships with people. It is no fun being around rude individuals.

For LeAnne,

If you are texting in the movie theater, then your cell phone might be on and if you got a call, then what might happen...

Being rude is a personal opinion. If you are rude you do not have good morals. That is what being rude come down to. Being rude starts it the home. It is pass down from your parents or other family members.That determine if you are rude or not.

On the quiz that I took about rudeness, I think that I did good when I saw the percentages. I understand sometimes people can be rude to others, I'm not saying that I'm perfect, because I have been rude at times too. My parents have always taught me to be respectful and to have manners towards other people. I think that people are rude because they have adapted to that behavior so long, they don't realize that it is a problem and it affects the people around them. I think that taking this quiz will allow people to understand that rudeness affects people. I have learned that just because you do these actions doesn't mean that it is right. We should treat others with respect.

I did real well on the rudeness test. Most of the questions didn't apply to me. being rude is not my thing, because I know what it's like to be a victim of someone’s rude behavior. When I was a little girl everybody pick on me, because of a problem I had students at my school would put there foot out so I would trip and fall They would also spit in my food and try to make me eat it. Back then I didn't like it done to me so I try not to do it to others. If you even think about being rude ask yourself. Do I want my child being the victim?

Rudeness in my opinion is very bad and a lot of people are very rude in this world. People should try there best not to be rude to others and respect them. I know we all have been rude at sometimes but you should work on your rudeness. And try to treat others how yuo want to be treated.

I found myself doing about one-fourth of these rude things every week. However, though all of them aren’t polite, some are much worse than others. For example, letting your son kick someone in their seat and not apologize is ruder then yawning in public. This quiz did help me point out my errors, and I am glad I did it so I can improve myself. In the future I will try much more to prevent myself from being rude. LONG LIVE OPRAH!

When I took the “rudeness” quiz, I did pretty well on it. Personally, I think the worst thing you could do is to talk on the phone during a movie. If you have your phone on silent, texting is okay in certain circumstances. However, when I go to the movies, I normally don’t text after the previews. Overall, I’m not a rude person, but I know a few.

What is rudeness? Rudeness is when people forget to be nice. Being nice can be important in many ways. For example, it helps you make friends, get a job, or even learn from your mistakes!

Rudeness is just a state of mind, based upon how you were raised. What is considered rude to one person, or group, isn't necessarily considered rude to another group. Personally, I think of rude as being inconsiderate of other people. Even if the other person doesn’t assume your are being rude, it still is if you don't think about the other person's feelings or opinions. People are still nice, just now we are indifferent.
