I define an ignorant person as one who is arrogant, conceited, eristic, and rude. Unfortunately, it seems as though they are always nearby, waiting for the prime opportunity to burden you with their unflattering personalities. I have become skilled at dealing with these people over the years, and although my methods are not the most conventional, they do work. So I would like to teach you the “Art of Dealing with the Ignorant”. Do not look the ignorant in the eyes. Eye contact is a personal invitation to listen to three hours of their life that you, quite frankly, couldn’t care less about. The best way to solve this problem is to make yourself seem as unapproachable as possible. Throw all manners out the window: turn your back, slouch, …show more content…
Don’t expect much out of them. Every accomplishment, no matter how small, is noteworthy. More importantly, do not argue with the ignorant. Logic is not their strong suit and is often left out of debates. Even if they are able to create a coherent idea, don’t waste your time, because despite being given facts that dispel their argument, the ignorant are unable to accept defeat and will ramble on until you either give up or agree to disagree. The ignorant often find it difficult to differentiate between actual kindness and perfunctory courtesy due to their lack of intelligence. Although it may be immature, I personally gain a lot of joy knowing that I can say anything I want with a smile on my face and the fool will think it’s a joke. The goal is to remain direct but bury the sting. As a result of their egotistic personality, the ignorant choose to accept anything you say as a compliment and it throws them off guard to believe that you are truly being polite. If all else fails, remove yourself from the situation. There are many ways to do this, some more bitter than others. You could take a bathroom break, make a phone call, fake an illness, remember a meeting, or spill your drink. Alternatively, you could be blunt with the person. I prefer a more subtle approach, however a straightforward one may be more efficient in proving your
These people have no understanding of the social, moral, and economic challenges that face the world today, these people always choose ignorance over reason. Most people choose ignorance as a defence mechanism to stop thinking about these problems, they don’t realize that by doing that they are becoming more indifferent and they lose one of the most important traits that makes them human, compassion.
If I am not open to their perspective, then I will not be able to help them move past whatever their situation may be. By recognizing that everyone has a different worldview, it will allow me to be more open and understanding towards them.
In Nathanial Hawthorne’s “The Birth-Mark,” Aylmer, a crazed, “mad-scientist,” seeks to remove the scarlet handprint birthmark from his wife, Georgiana’s cheek. From the opening of the work, the third person narrator describes Aylmer’s obsession with science and the adverse effects it has had on his social life. Aylmer is tied up in this battle within himself and with his assigned association between the natural and the spiritual world. He wishes to have as much control over these colliding worlds as possible, granting himself god-like power and control in the process. In the art of manipulating nature through science, Aylmer believes he is able to alter the spiritual aspects of the natural as well. Aylmer’s focus on spirituality is Hawthorne’s way of commenting on mankind’s fixation on sin and redemption.
Imagine passing by a homeless man, holding up a sign saying homeless hunger, what do you do? you can do two things walk past it and ignore the man or give money. When you walk past the men then you need View A and View B. These views are the views of yours and the man, meaning that if you walk past the man you probably think “this is just one person, he can find a job and work rather than living in the street” that is View A. As you walk past the man he probably feels worthless, unwanted, not important etc. I feel like the person can only understand what the homeless man is going through if they experienced it themselves. You just say it’s just one person and he will survive, but what you don't realize is that, what if there are many more of these kind of people in a country who are suffering and dying. These people are at poverty and not a lot of people know about poverty because there is not a lot of awareness on it.
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. People are so set on their ideas they set in the past, that they do not want to face the present or future. People that are racist and prejudice are ignorant. Ignorance is passed on and spread, therefore there will always be a person in America who are ignorant, and we will never achieve racial equality. Martin
People want full attention and full eye contact, to ensure interest in the topic being discussed. I discovered that when I would talk to someone with my back completely turned to someone was when they were offended the most, rather than when I just didn’t make eye contact but was faced in their general vicinity. I think that most people reacted negatively towards this experiment because of the social norm that involves being polite and attentive towards a stranger. Being rude to someone whom I’ve never met before for no reason broke the common social norms of politeness. From this experiment I learned that it is greatly important to make eye contact with someone during any type of conversation. If not, it is seen as very rude and will result in negative reactions or attitudes, and give the impression to whomever I am engaging in conversation that I am not interested in what they are saying to
Hideous, Grotesque, putrid, typical statements made to others. Most of the time people get their rude manners from their friends. The many things you say to people should be said by your knowledge and yours alone. Discrimination and judgement towards a recipient is a terrible thing to do just from a “friends perspective” on the subject. Judging people in general is obscure don’t get me wrong, but if you do perhaps judge someone, judge them by your own moral standards.

Eye contact can determine a person’s attitude and true feelings. People use eye contact in social situations to determine how and what a person is truly feeling. The amount of distance a person is from another along with the amount of eye contact used, can change the attraction level between two individual. This attraction can change the attitude of both parties towards each other (Goldman, 1980).
We all do things at home that we would never do at work. It could be smoking, imbibing, and many more actions that are not accepted in the work environment but should we be penalized for doing these things outside of work? This is a great question because in this case a plethora of us would be out of a job. The fine line between work and personal life has been wearing away for some time. As work life and personal life start to blur employers are naturally going to endeavor to regulate the comportment of their employees since they now represent their respective compa-nies both in and out of the work place. Regulating people outside of the workplace feels like an assault on individual rights. I can understand some regulation of military or professional sports because their physical condition directly relates to their job performance… but that’s a slippery slope. Unless it is detrimental to the job or poorly reflects values of the vocation personal life is just
The old saying that "eyes are a reflection of your inner self" holds true in most cases. There are a lot of meanings to eye contact. It can be a glaring look when a person is defiant or angry. A stare when we see something unusual about the person (staring obtrusively is rude!). A glazed over look when we are hopelessly in love with the person. It can also be a direct look when we are talking and trying to make a point.
However, I am not the only person experiencing this problem since several of my friends have confessed to experience similar instances. Although I might appear to be attentive and listening to someone, the reality is that I have actually stopped listening and my mind is focusing on the present thoughts in my head. This mostly occurs when another person utters words that my mind chooses not to examine, study, or dissect. I continue maintaining eye contact thus making another person to think that I am still keenly
Imagine a family, a family that has it all. Good neighborhood, schooling, and robust health. Everything seems to be going right for this family, then all of a sudden one event changes the course of their future forever. The father makes a poor business investment which causes the family to loose their savings. Now that all of the savings are gone and they are living off check to check, they need to cut back on wasteful spending. The kids may need to attend a lower public school than the normal private school they once attended, thus causing them not to learn or advance at a level that they once could. Within the span of what could be not more than a year or two, this family has went from having a stable life to a family that is on the verge
