Uneducated, Undereducated = Rudeness ?!?

Just recently I watched an episode of Wife Swap on the net and a wife from Missouri switched with a wife from New York...the Missouri family was average income, average educated and had no degrees while the New York family was very high income, well educated and had many degrees. While the husband in Missouri was for the most part polite and tolerant of the high class wife from New York the high class husband in New York was mean and hateful to the Missouri wife. He belittled her, insulted her, made fun of her and even got his kids to quit speaking to her. So no, having degrees, a better education or money doesn't make you a better person...manners are what show the type of person you are. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

Gosh, definitely no! I have dealt before with a college professor who was considered a genius in her field. When I respectfully asked her via email if I could interview her for an article I was writing, her reply was so rude that my editor had a fit! The reality is, there are both kinds of people (rude and polite) in both ends of the spectrum (educated and under educated). I believe it will always depend on how people were raised, not on the kind of schooling they had.

loreli I have seen some very educated people be very rude and if well educated and rich some think they own the earth,.so I do not think that uneducated people are ruder than ed ucated peole. manners starts at childhoor and if the parents regardless of incone iof schooling are well mannered and teach their children to be well mannered and care about others.so income and schooling have damned little to do with well mannered people.

I cannot see where the amount of education a person has matters when it comes to manners. Even if we do not have any education at all and could not read we would still be able to have manners. We can learn from observing other people's actions by watching TV. By asking people what appropriate behavior is. Their is a lot of things people can do to improve themselves without a lot of education. All a person needs is a little intelligence and a desire to do so. I do not like to see anyone run down because of their lack of a formal education a lot of us do not have higher degrees and I feel our manners can be as good as a higher educated person.

People will adapt their environment.It will make them change.Obviously,college can offer a elegant circumstance.i think it decide the manners of person.

no, how you were raised by your parents, and the people around you affects your behavior and it does not matter if you finished school or not. i've met people who finished school but are still rude to others, disrespectful and arrogant. and i've met people who did not finish school but has nice manners.

Being educated has nothing to do with how rude someone is. Every teacher I ever had was "educated" and they were some of the rudest people I've ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with.
