Health and General Welfare:
In Amanda Enayati's article How to Deal With Mean People, There has been an increase in mean people, and according to a 2010 National Civility Survey, the situation has gotten worse. Studies have shown that people who are mean tend to have worse health compared to the people who are nice; this is due to a large amount of hormones that are released when a person is nice. According to, Stanford Professor, Robert Sutton who wrote The No A**hole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t, the ways to deal with mean people are, Stand up or develop indifference, Reframe and change how you see things, and limit you exposure. This is relevant to my life because out in the world there are very rude people. I also think it's shocking to see that the rate of rude people have increased. I think it would be interesting to research why people have become more mean and what things have changed to increase that in the years because Amanda Enayati did speculate a little on the subject, but I think finding the main reasons and details on it would give me better insight on it.
