Are Sloppy People Truly Lazier Than Neat People?

In a way being selfish is what got humans where they are today.The evolution of humans required competition,and aggressive selfishness. We were forced to be selfish and watch our own back, to always put ourselves first in bad situations. This reaction to put ourselves first is natural, it’s in our blood. However, is the very thing that made us so successful as a species the one thing that so easily tears us apart? As humans we have an incredible capacity to dehumanize others to protect our own self interest.

Being a neat person, I was offended by Britt’s essay when I first read it. After reanalyzing Britt’s piece, I found she was being over humorous to get her point across. Britt claims, “Neat people will toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down the clutter” (215). I have never heard of someone throwing their children out just to cut down on clutter. If I wanted to cut down clutter, I would have the children help me clean and then anything they missed finish, this would be a good lesson for the children while helping me to. Britt uses a very broad sense of humor in basically saying neat people would throw the children out just to not have to work as hard on cleaning the house. An even broader statement made by Britt is about dying relatives. “No sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter of a dying relative ever wrote. Into the trash it goes” (Britt 215). How could anyone neat, sloppy, rich, poor, any quality throw away such a valuable memory such as a past relatives

Are neat people inferior to sloppy people? This question’s answer will differ depending on the type of person you ask. According to Britt in her essay, “Neat people vs. sloppy people”, the answer is yes. She uses certain qualities, such as oral description to differentiate neat people and sloppy people, how neat people are lazier, and how neat people are wasteful. Her qualities help explain to the readers why she thinks that her answer is true.

“The sloppy person is not lazy, they just like to procrastinate.” See, that’s just it sloppy people always make excuses so, they never have to get over their lazy personality. Sloppy people are lazy and meaner than neat people. Sloppy people should be focusing on how neat people are cleaner and happier; because positivity, organization, and happiness are the keys to a neat person’s life.

Energy and conscious controlled thinking takes effort; this does not apply in social situations, making the stereotype appear (Devine, 1989).

Suzanne Britt’s essay, “Neat People vs. Sloppy People”, invoked a mixed reaction for me since I could easily fall on either side of the spectrum. As stated so well by Britt, “They save everything, planning someday to file, order, and straighten out the world” (322). Her examples of cleaning out the closet, and organizing family photos are task that always take backseat to everything else, with great hope that someday I’ll get it done. As to Britt’s analogy of a neat person, “They will get their flower and sugar in two pound bags” (323), is equally relatable. Although I enjoy purchasing in bulk at Costco, when I’m short on time, I seek out a shortcut making these purchases at the local Hannaford, spending more money granted, but with intensions of saving time. Therefore, I don’t

A key factor in human nature is for people to be selfish and it is

Furthermore, I believe that selfishness and greed run back all the way from the beginning of mankind to contemporary society. Selfishness is learned, even a

Is all of humanity a two faced being?  The novel Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, describes how people have two main sides.  The civilized and savage manners of people, are represented with a group of boys who were once civilized, that get stranded on an island with no adults.  They soon deteriorate through their efforts of survival.  Some are able to keep most of their humane ways throughout the entire book, but others have lost it completely.  Through Golding’s story, he teaches people that absolute power corrupts absolutely,  keeping an id hidden will only make it worse, and anxiety can lead to horrific and stupid actions.  During their rough journey on the island, all the kids learned that on the inside of everyone, there will always be a darkness lurking in the shadows.

Neat people know that few distractions leads to better work and are good at multitasking to get things done in a faster. They try to do everything right the first time, so that they don’t have to go back, which means they will be wasting even more time and energy going back to fix the mistakes and neat individuals don’t like wasting time. Neat peoples perfectionism sometimes interferes with finishing task and, also, they are unwilling to assign task unless other perform the exactly the way they expect. A sloppy person tends to concentrate on one task at a time and pay attention to the little things and analyze their work. If they try to multitask the quality of the work probably would be

Laziness is often looked down upon as something unworthy and unhelpful. Many tend to demote those who are lazy, claiming that they lack responsibility and effort. However, in Christopher Morley’s essay “On Laziness”, he takes on a point of view out of the contrary. In his essay, Morley sees the beneficial factors of being lazy. Morley uses historical examples, logical reasoning, and sophisticated and powerful diction to illustrate the light and positive aspects in laziness.

I believe that, as a result of the civil unrest in Montreal at the time, social media would be split between who to support. Discrimination based on religion was still prominent in the 50's. As a result, I believe that there would be more support for Duplessis in these circumstances. Roncarelli and the Jehovah's Witnesses were the current scapegoats for the civil unrest at the time, and thus would be treated similar to many of the current scapegoats in society are today. Biased, often uninformed or ill-informed opinions would take the forefront of the discussion and push angered feelings into the discussions. Media often times supports the rich and wealthy in today's society, but in the 50's it was exponentially greater support. As such, Duplessis

The author thinks human nature is uncooperative and irrationally destructive. I do not agree with that statement. Human nature essentially good. No one is born evil. Even though there is a lot of evil across the globe, there is more good. For every one bad deed, there are a hundred good deeds. God will put you on the right path.

Selfishness surrounds us in everything we do because it is human nature to be selfish. Without selfishness we would not be able to take care of ourselves and ensure that we are fed and all our needs are fulfilled. Many people and the surrounding environment suffer because of selfishness but without it the reality

Most of us assume that some selfishness is healthy, but "too much" selfishness will lead to loneliness and despair. This idea rests on an incorrect definition of selfishness. Selfishness means acting in one's rational self-interest. By " rational" I mean that one can logically prove that an action is in one's self-interest—in the long run as well as the short run.
