3.6 Illustrative Essay-Rude Behaviors and Actions The definition of rude is: not polite; unkind, discourteous behavior. When I think of rudeness, I classify these actions into three categories: (a) bodily functions (b) verbal rudeness (c) physical actions. Bodily functions are, to me, the worst of the group. Having a weak stomach when it comes to vomit, gas odors, and feces, I get upset when I am exposed to these things deliberately. Unless you are with your children or significant other, passing gas for others to endure is simply rude. Another rude bodily function is spitting where people have to walk. Especially when a man spits out dip (aka tobacco).Finally, on the subject, and my pet peeve number one rudest, is blowing your nose at a restaurant table. Being loud and verbally abusing to someone, even an animal who doesn’t understand the words but the tone of voice, is at most, unnecessary. Children come to mind when I ponder this thought. I was raised to respect my elders. Saying “Yes mam, yes sir” came naturally. But kids these days will attack you with words like “Shut up and no!” They also have a tendency to be very nasty to less fortunate individuals. I just recently had to correct my four year old daughter for blurting out “Mom, that girl is real fat!” The kids also tease each other with name calling such as “You are so ugly!” They taunt each other by laughing at the others misfortunes; such a rude thing to do. My third and final category is rude actions. What I mean by actions is when an uninvited guest shows up at a party and ruins everything. Or, when a relative or friend overstays their welcome at your house is totally rude. And finally, when someone cuts you off when you’re driving. There are many more rude actions I wanted to add like cursing excessively, indecent exposure, failure to flush the toilet, interrupting while someone’s speaking, and eating with your mouth open. But, in my own

    Good morning, teachers and fellow students. Imagine if you were beaten for no reason, forces to do something you don’t want to, and left to die. This is how many animals are treated every day. Nobody should do this to other animals, and it must be stopped. People should be kind to animals because they’re sensitive, just like humans. If an animal is abused, it will try to defend itself which can result injuries for both humans and animal. All animals should be treated equally, animal abusers should respect animals instead of abuse them.…

    Aggressive Behavior

    • 2073 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Aggression is usually defined by behavioral scientists as behavior that is intended to harm another person. Common forms of aggression are physical (for example, punching), verbal (for example, saying or writing hurtful things to another person), and relational (for example, intentionally and publicly not inviting someone to a party to harm his social relationships). Violence usually is conceived as more extreme forms of physical aggression that are likely to result in physical injury. The most extreme form of violence is homicide, but any form of aggressive behavior that is likely to result in an injury serious enough to warrant medical attention is considered violence. Thus, fights involving weapons as well as fistfights by adolescents old enough to be able to inflict serious injuries are considered acts of violence.…
