Power of Politeness
By:Azari Masili

Politeness is a powerful word nearly forgotten by everyone in their routine life. The word personally to me is very powerful where it doesn't differentiate between generation gaps and genders. People a long time ago put politeness between human race, especially in terms of gender above others where older people and women are highly appreciated and prioritized.

Being polite clearly means that we show respect to others the same way we want others to act towards us, especially to those that are slightly or far older than us. This can be done by saying hello, shaking hands, giving 'Salaam' for Muslims and a simple and sincere smile will do. But what happened to the young generation today? I can see that we are starting to lose our sense of politeness in each and every single day to almost everyone around surprisingly includes our parent and closest kin.

People don't learn how to be polite from 'Guidelines of Politeness' complete reference book or any media or in any schools nor other higher learning institutions. Young people follow what their parents do meaning if they (children) don't or never see their parents being polite to other people especially their own parents or siblings, the children have no reasons to be polite to others, as simple as that because seeing is believing and the believe that make them good followers.

Politeness is a good and an important trait that everyone should practice and have before things are getting out of hands. The world will lost its original and beautiful value without politeness around; people will no longer respect each other, not to countries' leaders, not to superiors, not to parents and not to teachers, not in any occasions, not to anyone and worse not even to ourselves. The meaning of politeness should be as powerful as it was before and human should consider it as one crucial part of our live.
