Are Mobile Phones Destroying Good Manners? Cell phones invaded our lives very quickly and we have not had enough time
to develop some basic “good manners” rules for their use. A recent market
research study claims that almost 70% of the 1,000 people that were asked
experienced cell phone rudeness on a daily basis.
Theatre managers will often ask people to turn off their phones before a play,
but sometimes people forget. It is not uncommon that a show comes to a stop
when a phone goes off in the audience. It is not rare to hear phones ring in
movie theatres, libraries or even during a wedding ceremony.
We should learn to switch off our gadget when we don’t need it and to be
more private when we use our cell phones by calling back later or by moving
to an area out of earshot of others.
