HARMFUL EFFECTS OF BAD MANNERS

RUDENESS

La rudeness it's like a poison. A toxic substance which is inoculated into our bodies every day, through various pathways. And with a single goal: worsen the quality of life, wasting it simply because we've chosen the shortcut of rudeness. Perhaps thinking that rudeness gets us further and earns us greater respect from others. Two glaring errors of judgment.

HARMFUL EFFECTS OF BAD MANNERS

Poor rudeThey don't know what they're losing, and they're unaware of the damage they're doing to their bodies. A study conducted by Professor Trevor Foulk of University of Florida does not give discounts vulgarity and lists all the damages, for individuals, for communities, for work groups and for companies.

DISADVANTAGES OF BAD MANNERS

Rudeness wears you down, consumes nerves and energy, and in the end, without us even being able to understand it, we find ourselves exhausted. Hence the problems the heart, to the pressure, and a huge effort to be concentrated and also to take sonno.

But the most serious thing, in health terms, regarding rudeness, is another: it's a contagious virusIt spreads in the environment with chain effects that last for several days, increasing hostility, if not hatred, between people. And this epidemic characteristic of rudeness has a precise scientific explanation: it is the neurotoxin which enters into circulation, and it is enough to witness episodes of bad education and the part of our brain is awakened and activated elaborates the vulgarity.

SIDE EFFECTS OF BAD MANNERS

Of course: in one resentful society, often violent, partly due to the 24/7 social media floodgates, a dose of rudeness can even be useful. Being aggressive, for example, protects us from bullying, shields us with a kind of "don't disturb" energy, and even helps us advance our careers. But is it worth it? The game is absolutely not worth the candle.

Being rude, in fact, in addition to causing damage to health, causes enormous losses in terms of human relationshipsSooner or later, the boor ends up alone, or is forced to hang out only with other boors like him. Rudeness nullifies people's charm., makes them banal, cold, sometimes unbearable. And it doesn't support any form of authentic communication, except that inspired by the logic of who insults the most. Vulgarity makes you autistic, self-referential, and this greatly complicates the whole fabric of our professional and private lives.

So, being polite is not a matter of morals, ethics or simply etiquetteThere's more. There's a real convenience, a usefulness, in a lifestyle that makes us feel better. For each of us, individually, and for all of us together, as a community.

BEING KIND MAKES LIVING BETTER

While rudeness worsens the quality of our life in all respects, on the contrary, good manners, which means first of all to always be kind (even with those who apparently don't deserve it...), allows us to live better. Jamil Zaki, professor of Psychology at Stanford University and author of several studies on the effects of empathy, has demonstrated thataltruism It has paid off greatly, in terms of human relationships and the fight against the pandemic, during the long Covid-19 season. With one premise: being altruistic makes us feel good, provided we are sincere.hypocrisy it is not allowed.

BOOK ON THE RUDENESS

In a beautiful book written by Sergio Tramma (La maleducazione, Raffaello Cortina editions), professor of Pedagogy at the University of Milan-Bicocca, in reconstructing the damages and wastes that affect a rude person, the author goes so far as to remember that the uneducated Today they are "outsiders." They have no access to entire communities, for example in the field of education. They are on the margins of good schools and good universities. And they struggle to build teams, and therefore fruitful relationships, in the world of work. The problem of the rude is not only a lack of education, but rather the very real and high probability of being on the margins of society. Even if one perhaps has a super-affluent standard of living.
