Journal 5: Where are Your Manners?—Exploring Movie Theatre Etiquette
You'll often hear older generations of Americans lament the fact that this country seems to have forgotten its manners. They remember a day when gentlemen held doors for ladies, business transaction were polite courteous, and good manners were prized above all else. Those days, unfortunately, are gone. And in no place is this more evident than in the nation's movie theaters. What was once a place audiences actually dressed up for is now ground zero for inconsiderateness. Today, audiences must content with loud and smelly food, cell phones, people's feet up on seats, and incessant amounts of chatter during films. In fact, etiquette is so bad that we must be reminded of even the most basic manners before every screening. What do you consider to be appropriate movie etiquette? What bothers you most about other people's behavior in movie theatres? Finally, What rules do you knowingly disregard and to which do you adhere? Are you generally part of the solution or part of the problem?
