The United States has received Ruder. Starting at the top


If you have driven on the highway in recent years, it has been in the grocery store, you attended a movie or a live presentation, devils, if it has been sensitive, the findings of a new survey will surprise you as much as the sun goes out at dawn and the surroundings when it dusk.

The United States has received Ruder.

At least, this is how a plurality of Americans perceives the taczado state of our union.

A survey published this month by the non-partisan Pew Center found that five years after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of the respondents believe that public behavior in the United States has changed for the worse.

Our policy surely has.

“Everything is a war. Everything is a battle. There is no collaboration, or coordination, no civic pride,” said Don Sipple, a veteran communications strategist that helped shape campaign messages for George W. Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown, among many others.

“Civic duty is just a war,” Sipple continued. “And since Donald Trump entered the [presidential] Race in 2015, has only become more corrosive and caustic. ”

That is what happens when you have a president without a filter, without conscience and a flamethrower where his mouth should be.

More about that at one time.

Pandemia seems like a good starting point to measure the foundation of the P and Q of the United States, since it produced the equivalent of a national nerve placement and separated even more from a deeply divided country.

PEW's survey found that just under half of the US adults. Two out of 10 said today's behavior is a lot Ruder.

About 44% of adults said that public behavior is almost the same; 9% said people behave a lot or a little more politely in public.

These last presumably have been anesthetized, never stepped on the real world or live in a permanent stupor chemically induced.

How do you, or, rather, how did banks researchers, rudeness? The behaviors that proved involved, among several infringes, smoking, swearing and the use of technology around other people.

Of the eight actions mentioned in the survey, two drawn the broader disapproval: 77% said that it is rarely acceptable to smoke around others and 74% said the same about taking a photo or video of someone without their permission.

Around two thirds of adults said that it is rarely acceptable to take a child to an adult place, such as an exclusive bar or restaurant; to visibly show the words of swearing, as in a shirt or signal; or curse aloud in public.

The smallest majorities say that it is rarely acceptable to reproduce music aloud or use headphones or headphones while talking with someone. In both cases, a considerable number said that it depends: approximately one third said that sometimes it is good to play music aloud, and approximately a quarter said that about using headphones while talking to someone.

The survey found that the largest gap in the worship perceived was among those of different ages.

Older adults were more likely than younger adults to consider that it is poor to curse aloud, visibly exhibit blasphemies or use headphones or headphones while talking to someone in person.

Surprisingly, at a time when all It seems politicized, there were no important differences in views based on the partisan affiliations of respondents. At least, the Democrats and the Republicans agree to float the smoke from the cigarette on someone's face and capture their reaction in the video, without first asking, it is unpleasant.

Maybe there is hope for the Republic yet.

It is not that you want to model the behavior of our Executive Director of calm and moody color.

He seemed scandalous, and very indecorously, in 1992, when President George Hw Bush referred to his Democratic rivals, Bill Clinton and Al Gore, such as “Two Bozos.”

Bush felt forced to apologize, like his son George W., when he was looking for the White House eight years later and a hot microphone caught him referring to one of the political correspondents of the New York Times as “a great League A—”.

It is worth noting that indiscretion, however sincere, was made public by accident. Bush did not yell at a campaign rally.

Compare that with Trump's casual blasphemy and insults: “fat”, “ugly”, “scum”, “stupid”, “slazbag”, “pencil neck”, “son of a dog” – regularly throws the opponents.

When he descended on the Department of Justice at the beginning of this month to complain about the criminal cases in series that once faced, the least shocking of Trump's extraordinary appearance and the presidential use was the presidential use of the “bulls” of blasphemous “while he was in public.

“Donald Trump has been at the forefront of changing the rules of leadership discourse in the presidency,” said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, expert from the University of Pennsylvania in political communication and author of extensive works on the subject. “I mean, he is broken barriers never broken.”

It is difficult to analyze the degree to which politics shapes culture and how much culture shapes our policy. As Jamieson pointed out, “we are influenced by what we see around us. If I hear a lot of what we would traditionally mark as an incivil speech, it seems normal to me.”

Is it a surprise, so that the United States has made Ruder? Especially with the rudeness and vulgarity emanating routinely from the nation's evil executive director?

Andrew Breitbart, the late editor of conservative websites, suggested “politics is downstream of culture.” But it seems that these days the waters have combined, creating a pool that is increasingly evil and contaminated.

Like a fish, the United States manners have rotted from top to bottom. Thus, also, our political dialogue.

It is not surprising that people stay in the nose and refuse to take out their headphones.
