　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? We should never be impolite to another person.
　　Nowadays there is a wide agreement that courtesy is considered to be a basic quality people should have. However, people have conflicting opinions on whether we should always be polite to others. Though the majority of people insist that we should never be impolite to another person, I can hardly agree.
' v* N0 i+ t* C2 q7 A  q0 s　　Admittedly, being polite is necessary in most occasions. Mostly, opportunities and luck lie in courtesy. For example, an interviewer is more likely to offer a position in the university students union to a polite student instead of a rude one; a professor tends to help a kind student with his problems.

In order to capture striking news and sell it to the press, paparazzi stalk famous people wherever they go and take photos out of nowhere. Honestly, these actions seriously interfere with the celebrities’ daily lives. Once, a famous singer who was pregnant went shopping with her assistant. The paparazzi waited outside the shopping mall and crazily took photos of her, which will harm her baby. The singer begged them to stop shooting photos, but the paparazzi just did not listen. Not until her assistant yelled at them and threatened to accuse did the paparazzi finally leave. That is a case that politeness does not work.外语学习网

The normal and reasonable action for policemen is to pull out their guns and shout “freeze!”, then handcuff the criminal. No one would agree that pointing guns at others and handcuffing them are polite, but it is rudeness that works when arresting a criminal.
