Do rude kids make successful adults?

Question

A theorist had a theory that rude and disrespectful kids make rich and successfull adults.

Is this the reason why why some parents encourage GenNext kids to abuse others. Do you believe in this theory?

Answer 1

the will never know true success. Have you heard of the waitress test. This is a test, that when you interview someone for a job or contract you take them to a nice resturant and watch how they treat the waitress. Their behavior to the waitress shows you what their managment style will be with your employee's, specialy if he's kissing your butt and kicking her's.

Another thing employers will do is call their receptionists after an interview and ask how the person behaved in the lobby.

These are tactics that have become extremely popular in the buisness world during the last decade.

So If you kid is a little brat, he or she will grow up to be an undesirable employee.

How many adults do you see who throw a fit when they get told no. Can I see your manager, I can buy this whole place and fire you, Im calling the governer, I know your boss(person they name has been dead for 5 years, but hey they know him).

An angry adult who pushes people around and acts like a 5 year old brat will get no respect and will get nowhere in the buisness world.

Answer 2

I think they create rude and disrespectful adults. I have seen wealthy people give all things to their kids. Kids who didn't respect their own things, let alone things belonging to another. They expected all and as they grew into adulthood mom and dad got tired of giving. Little darlings did not know how to make the money they needed.

I have also worked "island side" of the city. What I saw was the ones who wanted to appear more successful and richer than they were were rude and disrespectful and demanding (much like a child's temper tantrum when they don't get their way). Those who truly were blow your socks off rich treated those of other classes much more kindly and politely.

I have also seen it in the schools. Some of the children I once worked with now have children of their own. The adults who where kind are still kind. The ones who were "all about me" still are and they are rude and demanding. They are still living and working in the same small town, not greatly successful. They just survive.

It may be that the theory is what some think will happen. I think intead rude and disrespectful kids just make rude and disrespectful adults

Answer 3

Rude kids usually turn into rude adults and yes, I believe that they will abuse others. That's their way of life. They are very selfish and uncaring for others and "looking out for number one". It's really sad, but true, I think. If everyone could respect one another and be kind, it would be a way different world....we can only imagine that because, sadly, it's not going to happen....

Answer 4

Do rude adults make successful kids - no to both.

Answer 5

if your idea of "success" is to be an arrogant, lying, thieving a$$hole like a few in Washington I won't name, or the Madison Avenue/Wall Street crowd, go ahead, train your kid to be a total butt-plug.

If your idea of "success" is to wind up in a place that isn't Hell, then this probably isn't the avenue you want to steer them towards.

At any rate, extremely successful people are never the happiest or most well-adjusted people in the world no matter how you define it. To me, "successful" means that you can look at yourself in the mirror and like what you see there. And to be able to look into someone else's eyes and know they like what they see, too.

Answer 6

Maybe so for some people, some people gain wealth because they are rude and children learn what they live,but to me i think theres only one type of success and to be rude to other people is no way to gain that succes, i teach my children and my friends children , that the most important things in life is not wealth but surrounding themselves with people who love and care for them , there are 2 types of rich and i know i'd rather be rich with love not wealth . cheers!Lets hope most people think like i do for a more caring world....

Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I don't know parents (except in movies) that purposefully encourage kids to abuse others. Many parents catch on quickly that, if they encourage their kids to be rude to others, they'll be rude to their parents too... and the parents don't want to deal with THAT.

I think the current culture contributes to rudeness -- or maybe it's actually "self-absorption" -- in the current generation of young people. The United States is generally plentiful, with lots of various technology that makes life easy and allows us to become distracted from relating to others.

For example, our kids have cell phones, the internet, computers that didn't exist 20 years ago, DVDs/entertainment, video games, hundreds of cable TV channels, etc -- life is pretty "easy" in the sense of a myriad ways to enjoy oneself -- and many parents in order to be nice are also permitting their kids to live at home and not enter official adulthood well into their 20's.

I think overall there is a sense of general entitlement that past generations have not experienced (example: People "stealing" created works on the Internet without guilt), and the work ethic that my grandparents possessed has greatly diminished as a source of pride for the current generation, overall.

So I see parents all the time who indulge their children in whatever they want, simply in order to make them happy, and don't use healthy discipline in order to create healthy boundaries on their kids. The intentions are good, but life is counter-intuitive -- if you don't teach a kid boundaries when they're young, and help them understand they are just one of many people in the world rather than the focus, they'll become self-absorbed and rude.

In terms of rude and disrespectful kids become rich and successful? On some level it can happen, but it also depends on how "successful" is defined.

I can look at someone like Paris Hilton for example and see she has got it great in many ways and seems "successful" -- but in the average person's circles, she's nothing but a joke, and once she's gone, the world won't even remember she existed. At some point, power and money fail to control others; and at that point people simply won't want to deal with rude, self-centered obsessives.

In all the ways that really matter, consistently rude people are not "successful" and alienate themselves from the people they try to use.

Answer 8

Rude and brattish kids begin to manifest attempts by spiritual energies to influence their lives. parents that are spiritually aware usually block those intruders and chase away those intruders: Ephesians 6:12. Those that are allowed to talk back to their parents, to stamp up and throw down things when their parents talk to them--the larger percentage first learned discipline when they hear a judge proclaim: GUILTY- Your sentence is...
Check the stats.

Boaz.
