Politeness is the U.S. is friendlier and less strict than in Japanese and Indonesian cultures. A host offering drinks is very common in the U.S. as well as other countries. “Most foreign professionals already know that the left hand is considered unclean in many countries.” (Whitfield, 1997) I haven’t heard of only using the right hand being a sign of politeness in the U.S. Japanese politeness and etiquette is a bit extreme, but that is their culture and how they were raised to act.

The word “politeness” is expressed differently in different cultures, even though we all might share a few that are similar, there are also a lot that are different. I personally am very gracious to my guests. I will offer them drinks, food, or whatever they may need to feel comfortable in my home. Also, holding doors open for others is considered polite, especially for the elderly and disabled individuals. Saying please, thank you and you’re welcome. That is actually a big pet peeve of mine. I think it is basic respect to thank someone, like the store clerk for ringing up your groceries or saying please when ordering a meal. I also call women ma’am and men sir, that is polite in the south. Some people do not like being called ma’am and sir because they say it makes them feel old. So I don’t say it as often now.

I feel like politeness in the U.S. is diminishing. I have had so many doors shut in my face, people not saying thank you when I hold the door open for them, not saying excuse me when necessary, etc. I was going into the DMV one day and there are two doors separated by a little entrance way. I saw a older gentleman coming, so I held the first door open and he saw me, so he held the second door open for me. We both smiled at each other and he said, “At least there’s two people left in this world with manners.” It’s quite sad actually because that is just basic human respect to be polite toward others.

The course textbook identifies four individual decision-making styles: individualist, altruist, pragmatist, and idealist. In this activity, your instructor will assign you to a group of your peers, and each group will be assigned its own discussion forum. Each member of the group will take on the characteristics of one of the four decision-making styles and explain how that style would affect the way he or she would communicate, negotiate, and apply this to interpersonal situations.

Once the individualist, the altruist, the pragmatist, and the idealist have all submitted their posts, compare the decision-making styles of the others with your own.

Where are your styles complementary, and in what ways do your styles differ? How would you approach working together to make an ethical decision? What strengths and weaknesses of each style should be considered during the decision-making process?

I choose the idealist. I should be 1 page

Moral Reasoning

For our assignment this week, we will be looking at the complexities of moral reasoning. To begin, complete the interactive experiment, based on the famous Trolley Dilemma, from Philosophyexperiments.com (linked below). Be sure to keep a record of your answers as you work through the questions, and then read the analyses of your answers at the end of the experiment.

Note: The final page of this activity is titled: “Is it Because He’s Fat: A Piece of Bigotry” – you do not need to continue beyond that page.

For your essay this week, discuss what you learned about your own moral reasoning compared with the moral reasoning of others who participated in this experiment (this will be available to you in the analysis section).

The following questions should help guide your writing:

• In the preliminary questions, what answers did you select and why did you select them?
• In the scenario questions, (The Runaway Train, The Fat Man on the Bridge, The Saboteur, and The Fat Man and the Ticking Bomb), what answers did you select and why did you select them?
• In the analysis section, were your preliminary answers and your scenario answers consistent? If not, why not?
• How do your answers compare with the answers of others who also participated in this experiment?
• What does this experiment tell you about yourself and others in terms of moral reasoning?

Your completed assignment should be written primarily in first person and should be 500-750 words in length. If you use sources in your writing, be sure to identify them. If you use any direct language from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.
