在人類共同生活的社會(huì)里有一些共認(rèn)的社會(huì)準(zhǔn)則,這些準(zhǔn)則為大多數(shù)人所接受。如果你不能遵循這些準(zhǔn)則,你則會(huì)被看作為一個(gè)缺少文明禮貌舉止的人。善待他人,尊重他人能給我們帶來(lái)一種優(yōu)勢(shì),而這種優(yōu)勢(shì)會(huì)幫助我們成功。正因?yàn)槿绱耍覀儜?yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)在看電影時(shí)保持安靜;在點(diǎn)燃香煙前征得他人同意;注意選擇接聽移動(dòng)電話的場(chǎng)合;與老師交談時(shí)摘下隨身聽的耳機(jī);滿口含著食物時(shí)不隨意開口講話;該尊稱他人時(shí)不隨性而為亂稱呼……。這些看似不重要的小節(jié)恰恰是能反映一個(gè)人的社會(huì)公德的。
