Especially in the area where the author lives it is quite noticeable with everyone from airport security to public figures.

This article attempts to persuade the reader that people in this day and age are belong more rude, she does this by giving examples about personal experiences she’s had and ones that she’s witnessed in the world.

Despite that students now use profanity in their public schools and even more out of school, this could cause more children and teens to use the offensive language around their peers.

Politeness is able to show a person’s feelings towards others and awareness of a social custom. There are many purposes of politeness including: creating a public self image, creating solidarity, threatening people to send a negative message, not threatening people or upsetting them, indicating social relationship, showing awareness of social context, and power dynamics. The value of polite speech in a culture has the purpose of creating solidarity. Polite speech in a specific culture is very important and should be practiced as much as possible.

The use of profanity has increased in the past couple of decades. According to Kristin Jay, a psychologist at Marist College who has collected data on public swearing, this is partly because, “…The media we used to consume were much more sanitized, and we had fewer things to choose from and less control over what we exposed ourselves to.” In addition to profanity being more common, there is also decrease in the average age that children learn swear words—in fact, according to Timothy Jay, a psychology professor at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, most children have

Conversation is a ritual every person must encounter throughout their lives in order to function properly with one another in today’s society. However, every individual has a “different idea about what’s appropriate” when approaching someone in any sort of conversation; that is why we are referred to as individuals (Tannen 327). There are thousands of diverse languages to speak to one another with, in fact that means there are thousands of different ways to offend each other with our words. Within those languages there are several contrasting gestures that can offend any single person, such as the amount of times individuals apologize in one meeting, giving criticism too harshly, or thanking someone so often it does not seem genuine. In the article “What Do You Mean,” Deborah Tannen touches upon apologies, criticism, and thank yous in further detail to explain where individuals go wrong within conversation and how they can fix their actions. Individuals find it satisfying to please others by being polite because it is the ‘right’ thing to do, however like myself others need to stand up for themselves and get directly to the point now in order to avoid conflict later in life.

• Always use positive language and never use words or phrases that could be disrespectful towards another person.

In many settings such as schools or at home, some words categorize as “swear” or “curse” words. The majority of people know that the words are not proper etiquette or polite to use against another as it signifies anger or aggression. But still, who are the ones labeling those words and what gives them the authority to do so? It can just be that people commonly accept those words as “swear” or “curse” words. Nevertheless, censoring those words from being spoken will never have any success due to the lack of enforcement. Children are inevitably going to have exposure towards those words since nobody is constantly monitoring their activity wherever they go. A friend can just utter the word, the child asks what it means, and the cycle continues. Imposing the ban of using those words is simply impossible. Also, having those words classified as unethical just gives the more power and increases the desire to use them. An author named Michael Adams, believes that, “‘the words would just be normal words’” (Kaplan), if people use it freely and give the words less power. The human mind has an inner program of defiance, which is why many teenagers go through a “rebellious phase”. That means telling them to not swear will make them want to swear more because they do not like being told what to do. School is a learning environment, so if swearing does not negatively impact a student’s

Incivility refers to actions that are rude or offensive and includes belittling, bullying, and violence. These behaviors may lead to disharmony, disruption of learning, termination of work, and unsafe environments. Suggested causes include the stress of working in life-and-death situations, long hours, and fatigue (Rose, 2015).

I agree that Americans are becoming ruder in the workplace because most of them are performing in fast-paced, cross-functional, and diversified organizations. Consequently they have unmet needs, they are stressed, they are angry, and they are willing to express it (Johnson, P & Indvik, 2001, p.705). In addition to their internal stresses, they are interacting with people with different viewpoints, values, and goals. For the most part, people tend to have little respect for those who do not agree with their principles. Although there are a number of documented reasons for negative behavior, your discussion highlighted anger as being one the most significant reason. Most people do not use violence or open conflicts as ways to express anger;

There are many instances where incivility occurs at school or work. An example can be if someone doesn’t thank you for opening the door for them. I observed an uncivil matter at school when several students were busy texting during class and not paying attention to the lecture given. The teacher gave the students a warning by giving them the opportunity to put up the phone. However, the students refused to listen and appropriate discipline was taken. This was a cause of incivility since the teacher was wasting her time while their phones were distracting them from focusing.

“Cognitive Scientist puts Profanity in its place.” is Written by Bruce Bower, about the book “What The F” by Benjamin Bergen. In his book he explains what effect profanity as on us. Also how much is reveals about us. It talks about how swearing tells so much about who we are, and who other people are. Swearing can also tell us so much about human language and thoughts. Children are also much more resilient to profanity than people think. Hearing a parent or someone swear, it can cause exposure to violent thought or verbal abuse.
