I feel that this attitude of people is increasing to hide their inferiority complex when they compare themselves to others. We mistaken speaking in a polite manner to weakness. I also feel that the media is fueling this attitude within us. The movies we watch are all filled with rude and vulgar words which gets into our subconcious without any conscious effort. This in turn leads us to unknowingly becoming a rude person and an impolite speaking person.

People are rude because they don't make an effort. If you go to a store or with your neighbours or at work and you greet people with a smile and look the person in the eye when talking to them, they may respond in kind. If on the other hand your gruff and mumble then they too will respond in kind. This is not always the case as it takes hard work or a cheery personality to be a happy person, wake up every morning and think happy thoughts, people just don't care. A great deal of people do not enjoy the work they do, and then the added stress of their lives just gets to them. So it is obvious they will be grumpy even rude, though people are people. I now people that are always polite and friendly, even though they are in severe financial or emotional difficulty, and then those that have everything that is assumed to bring happiness and are miserable. People are people.

Also with everything that has been said about rudeness, you have to take into account that a lot of parents over the years have not been teaching their children how to be polite or how to respect others. All you have to do is walk into a school to find at least 50% (I am being generous here) of the children have no clue on how to treat adults or their peers with courtesy or respect. I believe it starts at home.
