ASSIGNMENT #1

List 10 DON’Ts (bad, unethical habits/behaviors/misconduct) in public in your point of view.

Then in 1 paragraph to present a solution for addressing the most critical one of the above

ten.

--------------oOo---------------

10 bad, unethical habits/behaviors/misconduct in public in my point of view:

1. Stealing: take the property of another or others without legal right or permission,

especially secretly by force and have no intention of returning it.

2. Sexual harassment:the unwelcome or inappropriate promise of rewards in

exchange for sexual favors. Even in some modern legal contexts, sexual harassment

is illegal.

3. Releasing/dumping rubbish: the action of releasing or throwing the waste and

rubbish deliberately everywhere instead of putting it into the garbage bin.

4. Queue jumping: the act of entering a queue or line at any position other than the

end. The act, which may be taboo in some instances, stands in stark contrast to the

normal policy of first come, first served that governs most queue areas.

5. Bullying: the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively

dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual and sometimes it aims

at disable or mentally retarded people.

6. Pickpocket:a form of larceny that involves the stealing of money or other valuables

from the person of a victim without their noticing the theft at the time. It requires

considerable dexterity and a knack for misdirection.

7. Smoking: a practice in which a substance is burned and the resulting smoke

breathed in to be tasted or inhaled.

8. Racial discrimination: the prejudice and discrimination based in social perceptions

of biological differences between peoples, presumed shared inheritable traits,

abilities, or qualities. It may also hold that members of different races should be

treated differently.

9. Talking loudly in public places (cinema, hospital,…): the act of making noise and

causing annoyed feeling for others by talking too loudly in some public areas.

10. Gathering/squatting on pavement: the act of gathering people or yourselves on

pavement, which causes messy condition for other activities and pedestrian.

Present a solution for addressing the most critical issue of the above ten.

To some extent, racial discrimination between people of different cultures and nationalities is a

critical phenomenon and one that is bound to affect everyone at some point of time.Just like

the saying that blood is thicker than water holds great value when it comes to family ties,

similar connotations can be drawn for people belonging to a particular race. The problem lies in

the way the matter is dealt. It’s not about expecting people to like every race, it’s about

creating a sense of oneness amongst all. I do believe that there is definitely a way to solve

racism, but it is quite hard to achieve in the short time. As everyone can see, racism was so

serious in the past compare to the current society which means our society is improving and

racism is mitigating. How we are going to solve this issue? As long as more people continue to

strongly speak up that every race is equal in this world, we will finally achieve our

destination.Everyone brings the reason to exist to this world. Even though one is not good at

something that other races can do, it doesn’t mean other races are better that one’s race. In

each race has someone who is not good at something but it has no connection to someone’s

race because everyone is created equal become a human.If someone doesn’t behave properly,

people are allowed to tell them that what is wrong but not to prejudice someone’s race, which

means stand against someone’s personal behavior instead of someone’s race. The purpose to

talk about all these things is hoping that once a day, there will be no racial discrimination occurs

in the world and telling those who have treated by racist that no need to be upset of these

things, because what most of the people in our world care is what kind of abilities can you show

up and what do you have in your brain no matter what race you are. A proper community, we

should remember also, is a commonwealth: a place, a resource, and an economy. It answers

the needs, practical as well as social and spiritual, of its members - among them the need to

need one another.
