Causes Of Current Events Jerks Bosses Politics

By Edward Olson


From pharmaceutical representatives to insults of world leaders and others, childish and boorish behaviors have become more prevalent in society over the last decade. In fact, it often feels as if the world is full of jerks in the business and political sector which are behaving badly more than ever before in history. In an effort to explain why, Bob Stafford of Stanford University has taken on these and other issues related to Current Events Jerks Bosses Politics in a recently released Forbes magazine article and interview.

Bob Sutton, a professor at the Stanford School of Business has created somewhat of a home grown cottage industry after having become an expert on these actions and issues. For, the first book published by Sutton, The No Asshole Rule became a best seller. Whereas, a new publication recently released by the professor, The Asshole Survivor Guide will most likely see the same success in the future.

Bob, as part of a marketing ploy provided New York Magazine's Jessica Pressler an in-depth interview related to current events and the inappropriate nastiness of government officials and others. One of the most useful sections of this new release according to Sutton, is in answering the question as to why these events are occurring in the present moment. According to the author, the answer involves a rather lengthy explanatory process.

The first aspect of the answer relates to President Trump and all aspects of politics in America. While diplomatic in tone, Sutton notes that there appears to be an epidemic of nastiness in the White House. Whereas, the author goes on to define the term asshole as being anyone who would leave others feeling demeaned, de-energized and disrespected while admittedly suggesting that a number of U. S. Citizens believe the president fits into this category, self included.

When it comes politics, Sutton currently sees the topic as nothing more than people calling other people assholes. An issue which Sutton sees as creating much of the nastiness currently going on in the world. For, as the professor states, nastiness spawns nastiness while nicer behaviors often go unnoticed.

Inequality is another area in which Sutton feels is responsible for the current attitude in America. For, the massive economic gap between those whom have and those whom do not promote a larger imbalance of wealth and power. For, as envy goes up, disdain often goes down.

When it comes to technology, like with all aspects of life, there are pros and cons. For, the anonymity of online interaction has the power to turn people, even those whom have been friends for years into vicious trolls. Whereas, research has also shown that new advances in technology has increased the asshole problem. In large part, due to the fact that people are more likely to mean when having no eye contact.

While the books focus on these issues, Sutton and others still hope that people can find a way to become nicer to one another. For, only when that reality takes place will there even be a possibility for peace whether on a local, regional or national level. A goal which can be achieved simply by becoming the best citizens possible and voting based on conscience rather than peer pressure while working to make the country a better and nicer place.
