Impoliteness

     Impoliteness or impolite in my understanding is something that is rude or very unrespectful behaviour but according to Oxford dictionary impolite is not having or showing good manners or rude. The word of impolite is originated from Latin word impolitus, from in-(not) + politus-(see polite) in early 17th century. This suggests that early civilizations have also been concerned about this problem or attitude.

     Nowadays, people with rude behaviour or impolite are no longer a problem to us even if we know or see something like this happen around us it is very common and normal. And if we look at the younger generation impoliteness is the new ways for them to communicate with each other. If this continues unabated and no party wants to be responsible and take action, it is not impossibe that our motherland will stay on the list of the third world country forever.

     So what is impolite behaviour? Impoliteness can happen in may ways and context and sometimes we dont even realize that we were doing something rude and impolite. This things can happen to you because sometimes there is a things that is normal in your country but it become offense in other country such as If you're in the East Asia or parts of South Pacific, you'll need to remember to remove your shoes before entering a house as a sign of respect (and cleanliness) and if you’re in Muslim countries Feet are considered taboo, and by showing the soles of your feet or tapping someone else with your shoe can be quite offensive. Rude body actions such as expelling flatulence or burping in the presence of others and using hate speech or ethnic slurs  is also a rude things and others  example of behaviour commonly regarded as impolite behaviour that many societies would consider rude or a breach of etiquette.

     Have you heard The English idiom "don't judge a book by its cover”? which means you shouldn't prejudge the worth, the quality, value of something or character of someone just by looking at them and I strongly agree with it. Why i said so? Do you know France or maybe Paris the fasion city, or the famous French citizens with their characters very romantic and very gentleman language, according to Forbes magazine and CNN Travel Skyscanner’s online poll, which received more than 1,200 responses from Europe, North America and Australia. France garnering nearly 20 percent of the total votes and was declared the champion of impoliteness for The World's Rudest Nations For Travelers. And that is a fact.

     So how are we going to handle this problem? Normally if we want to deal with a problem we have to find where is the root of the problem and where is it started. Can we put the blame on their school or teachers? Or maybe it is started even early than that, their parents? For me, first we should stop pointing finger at other people and start pointing at yourself, because i believe there is no parents or teachers in this world would teach or tell them to be rude or impolite with other people and i believe they have done their job very well. In my opinion, the only solution for this problem is yourself. Dont say “ i am what i am” and stop listening to what other people said that you are not worth enough to make this transformation or to be a good guy. This is our life and our body we have the full control of it. We have to start choose which side we want to be a part of? And there is a quote from one of my favourite movies, “ Firguring things out for yourself is the only freedom anyone really has”. Think about it.

     Remember this, we as a muslim we have a guidance from Allah which is Al-Quran and in it there is one surah that we call Surat Ar-Ra`d (The Thunder) verse(13:11) “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves”. So remeber, the power is always in yourself. Lets make change, together let's tackle this problem by taking responsibility and doing our jobs as citizens of One Malaysia to help build a country that not only developed but also be respected by people all over the world with his friendly attitude and manners. Last word from me, try to listen to this lyric. Ponder with an open mind.
