SAMPLE: 

What’s the standard of being polite?

I think, being polite is when someone that exhibits consideration for others and socially acceptable behavior. Being polite means being aware of and respecting the feelings of other people. And there are many traits that make a person polite and respectful. Firstly, the golden rule of good manners is to know how to say “please” and “thank you”. The second rule, I think, is we shouldn’t ask overly personal questions. Because asking personal questions is not the correct approach to learn more about someone, even if we’re dying to know more details about them. We should let the other person take the lead rather than forcing them to share things they may regret. And most importantly, another habit that polite people share is they know how to make others feel comfortable. They often put others at ease, as they often have a keen eye to recognize when people are uncomfortable and they know the little things they can do to help fix that.

What behaviors will be regarded as impolite?

Well, there are so so many examples of disrespectful behaviors. Firstly, it could be their bad manners. And it seems these days that new generations are not being raised to respect the elders. All people should respect those older than them. Besides, cutting in lines is another rude behavior. It happens all the time at the grocery store, at public events, and at amusement parks. No one is amused. In addition, I believe being late is another disrespectful behavior. Sure, life happens, and we are all late for something sometimes, but those who habitually come to work late with the same excuse are rude and affect others. So, I hope that those who are habitually late for meetings, family gatherings, dates, and work should try setting their clock 15 minutes ahead.

Who is more polite, people from cities or those from the countryside? 

Well, I think people living in cities are more likely to be polite than their rural counterparts. The reason for this is that people in cities are often taught good manners and etiquettes from an early age, like show respect to others and the elderly, how to behave well in public, and they understand that being polite can help them have better relationships with people and even open doors for them professionally, so they try to learn and improve their manners. By contrast, people from the countryside are often very conservative, and they still possess many rude behaviors, such as don’t respect others’ privacy, force others to listen to their opinions, so I think they seem to be quite rude, and more inconsiderate to others.
