Recommended: Impact of culture on people's behavior

Indeed, there are many reasons why rudeness is common in the workplace environment. Unfortunately, as you mentioned Emily, rude behavior is increasingly becoming the norm in today’s society. I agree with your analysis and would like to expound on your idea that rude behavior begins with interpersonal conflict. As we all know and experience at some point in our lives, some individuals are just easier to deal with than others are. Interpersonal problems are more prevalent when difficult people are involved, and this is particularly true and most noticeable in the workplace. When personality traits, attitudes, perceptions, feelings, mannerisms, and behavior differ from our own, we can expect conflict and tension. Hosmer (2011) stated this well: Moral standards of behavior differ between peoples because the goals, norms, beliefs, and values upon which they depend also differ…because of variations in the religious and cultural traditions and the economic and social situations in which the individuals are immersed (p. 3). Getting along with others involves a development of perso...

    In conclusion, humans, no matter race culture or gender, have some form of ethical principle, whether it is for better or for worse. Humans put labels on what is right and wrong in order to attempt living a fulfilling life. Our individuality through our important life stages and relationships can alter what we define as our ethical principle. Values of the person in question, life experience, childhood and social influences affect the outcome of the persons ethical principle. This ultimately results in character traits such as generous, lovable, tough and fair, that in turn make up who we are.

  • Analysis Of Moral Disagreements By Kwame Anthony Appiah

    In the article “Moral Disagreements”, Kwame Anthony Appiah discusses how disagreements occur when value based questions are asked. Appiah states the relevance of this topic by mentioning that individuals do not have to go to distances in order to be engaged in a moral discussion. Due to technology the world is more connected than ever, brining everyone together regardless of location. This results in the display of various cultures, believes and values. It is important to keep in mind that “if we are to encourage cosmopolitan engagement, moral conversations between people across societies, we must expect disagreements.” According to Appiah it is crucial to understand that every society is unique. There are similarities across societies

  • Morality: A Pillar of Societal Norms and Behavior

    927 Words  | 2 Pages

    In society today there are many religions and cultures that each in their own way preaches different values. Morality is a subject that is often studied and analyzed to evaluate how people act and why they act in that manner. Being moral refers to “what persons ought to do in order to conform to society’s norms of behavior” (Beauchamp, 1997, p.2). Without morality it would be very difficult to have expectations on how people would act within society. This would in turn impact day to day interactions with strangers as with no morals of how one should act to their neighbor, there would be no mutual trust. If someone questions the conventional customs and laws of their culture and religion, why should they be good? If someone does not want to conform to the norms of their religion, they will have little to no

    “Due to the destructive nature of incivility, researchers have attempted to understand factors that may promote such rude behavior (Walsh et al., 2011, p. 408).” In today society there’s more incivility than civility. Incivility solely exist because we as humans allow it to exist. By having self-awareness, self-management, and empathy are the three ways to create civility and candor in the workplace. According to the Read and Attend section self-awareness, self-management, and empathy are broken down into two sections High and Low (Cordon, 2013).

  • Ethical Relativism and Cultural Relativism

    714 Words  | 2 Pages

    In explaining Cultural Relativism, it is useful to compare and contrast it with Ethical Relativism. Cultural Relativism is a theory about morality focused on the concept that matters of custom and ethics are not universal in nature but rather are culture specific. Each culture evolves its own unique moral code, separate and apart from any other. Ethical Relativism is also a theory of morality with a view of ethics similarly engaged in understanding how morality comes to be culturally defined. However, the formulation is quite different in that from a wide range of human habits, individual opinions drive the culture toward distinguishing normal “good” habits from abnormal “bad” habits. The takeaway is that both theories share the guiding principle that morality is bounded by culture or society.

    ‘Moral judgments are nothing more than expressions of personal preference. While there is some point to arguing about questions of fact, moral arguments are a waste of time. The only thing at issue is what people like or don’t like’. I have probably read this statement about a million times and still do not have any qualms against it. Moral judgments are typically based on your upbringing, your likes, your religion (or non-religion), and numerous other aspects that make up your personality. Those listed traits and further attributions give you the basis of what you are going to feel morally to many issues such as: homosexuality, abortion, murder, stealing, etc. While many of us feel that we are always precise when making a judgment, this paper will show that no matter how hard we try; the above statement will always be true.
