Please read this story, Thank you


Central Argument: People these days are much more ruder.
            These days, the language has changed or at least from what it had been before. It seems like people have been much more advanced in speaking. But these days people seem to be much more ruder than what they were years ago. And the fact that people are more casual has made conversations more casual and informal which is not bad in it, but that fact that people do not use the “Traditional magic words” makes people to be deteriorating more.
            As children all of us have been taught about how you should use the magic words like “Thank you” “Please.” According to the article, something does seem to be missing, “The traditional magic words "please" and "thank you" that many people learn as children appear to be disappearing.” And that is true. People are much more informal and use the cool language that does not involve the magic words. Even listening to conversations like in the article, “Give me a tall latte. Hand me that hammer or have a good one” is what we hear rather than, can you please hand me the hammer… Thank you. People have become much ruder in the sense that they have now forgotten about the magic words.
            Even here at school, after we ask some one else for something, we just say can I have that. We do not say may I, or words like please. And after getting it, we just say I got it instead of saying thank you to the person who gave use something. This shows that we are turning into rude people when we are casual lot of times. That shows that we are becoming uncivilized when we are now supposed to be more than civilized people especially, because of the education that we have. Even in the article, it talks about how “Simple things that we took for granted as children no longer seem to count.” According to the article, Dr. Smith has also seen lots of changes in humans, behavior wise. Dr. Smith also mentions about how “Americans are becoming more rude and less civil.” This shows that people of this generation are actually becoming more uncivilized
            Although, in the article, Lacey thinks that people are becoming friendlier, it seems like they are just becoming friendly for their business sake. “Good morning, will you have the usual?” This might show that the person is client friendly, which does not make anyone bad, or anything, but this shows that the person is more of business oriented. People are becoming ruder although they are becoming much more casual. If, one wants to teach their kids about what “Magic Words” are they soul be able to apply it themselves in their lives. And people in general should preserve the politeness of the speech.
