POLITENESS
1. 1.
Who teaches you to be polite?
Our parents, teachers, relatives, friends and other acquaintances, teach us politeness. We
also learn about the importance of politeness from stories we read and movies we watch.
2. 2.
How do Indian people show politeness?
Indian people show politeness in their actions, like talking softly, spending time with the
elderly, helping people, greeting others with a smile and many other such small gestures
reflect politeness.
3. 3.
Has the way people show politeness changed in India?
Yes, I think with the advancement in technology, the way we show politeness has
changed. With the advent of the internet and social networking, it is very important to show
respect to others in the way we write messages or emails, so as to not offend others. For
example, when chatting with someone, it is not acceptable to type in capital letters. It is
considered rude and impolite.
4. Are you angry with people who are late?
Yes, definitely I am angry with people who are late. I am very punctual myself and I feel
irritated when somebody keeps me waiting.
5. Do you think that people have less free time today than in the past? Why?
Yes, I do feel that people have less free time today than in the past. Today, people have
become workaholics. They run after money and in doing so they work longer hours. Moreover,
today we belong to a materialistic society and to buy the luxuries we have to work more. In
earlier times, life was slower and the needs of people were limited. So people had a lot of free
time.
6. Do you think that the quality of living is increasing? How?
I feel that the quality of life has increased in many ways and in many ways it has gone down.
People today enjoy greater comforts and have more money to enjoy life but on the other hand
we face many problems today such as pollution and global warming which make the quality of
life bad.
7. Today people use machinery to automate everything, is it good or bad?
It is both – good as well as bad. In many ways it is good. We have more time because of
machines. We get good quality things because machines make uniform things. We do mass
production because of automation and this boosts our economy as we can export things to
other countries when we produce them in bulk.
On the other hand, many people have lost jobs because of automation. So, unemployment
occurs and this leads to many other problems in society. Machines can also not give a
personal touch to things.
