Having poor manners does not choose a particular gender, age or even profession, when you really are of no manners, then you really are, your status in life has nothing to do with your manners.The question is how can we build an ideal society, if we ourselves are poor mannered individual? I guess we must put an action to it.Here are some true observations of the author of the text entitled, "No One Stop's to Say "Thank You" Anymore".
On a very typical situation in a busy street, when someone let somebody into his/her lane of traffic, men usually wave their hand to acknowledge to show their response of the courtesy, but women ,accordingly hardly ever do this stuff, though we are thought of as the "polite sex".But most of us women, hold doors open for someone who is behind us especially when they are older than us and as a proof teenage boys, do commit this manner very least, I assume that it should begin on how their parents are instructing them, but it is not being given with importance by parents nowadays.There are also things called as evidences of inadequate parenting one is, being not thought to handle minor situations which particularly involves the showcase of good manners, second, have'nt schooled with social graces, meaning children were minimally being taught of good manners which are very essential on everyday dealings with other people, and the third one is an incident wherein an adult who prompted a kid to actually say thank you to a clown who gave her a balloon.Could you imagine that accepting rude language from someone shows your manners also, let us site the example on the text, when somebody called her a "chick". she actually did not do anything to that, for if she will fight back, she will be called as oversensitive than that man as "rude".
We all wish for a society that treats everyone and everything as equal, and it starts with being a good mannered citizens, because what you do to others will be paid back to you, the same or even more than you did for them and that is exemplified by the golden rule ," DO NOT UNTO OTHERS, WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT OTHERS DO UNTO YOU". Let us all be good and be guided and become good mannered people.

When can you say that a person is determined enough in his goals or even on the simple tasks that he is engaged with? The difference between the impossible and the possible, provides us an idea on the realization of impossible things on earth. I guess we are all bound in this world to do beyond the things, we thought of being not able to do or to become. It all depends on how you percieve thingsand concepts of life, if you see things as impossible, then you can actually leave it as is, but you have eventually missed the chance to experience that particular thing, in other words you have failed on making things possible.
Activity 3
Why things in life get so complicated no matter how we try to manage it righteously and perfectly.What drives us humans ,to do such peculiar things when there are in fact proper ways to deal something with? Why do we complicate things sometimes, and how do we endure to live with lies, when we can probably face and accept the realities.Why do we expect much on what life could give us, when we can do certain good things for life.Never expect life to be as simple as it could be, instead be ready for a lot more complexities which you can pretty manifest yourself if you only knew how to.
