I just came back from the library and this is what I found inside the lift. Someone has fallen his food but that person didn't clean the mess. When I came out of the lift, I found a glass was abandoned on the floor.
Although the college has janitors who clean the space everyday, but they are not servants to take care of the college's residents. The residents as adults shall be responsible to their own. This statement has been repeatedly stressed by the management of college, but they don't seem to listen. These are the example of how today's kids are less respecting and less mindful to their society.
Previously in the library, there was a lady who speaks on the computer out loud. She always comes there every night and goes home in the morning. She comes to library not to study, but to play online game, order and eat foods, and talk with someone on the net out loud. Although it was in a discussion room where people can talk, make a phone call, and eat, but still they need to be considerate to the surroundings. Until then, someone else who felt annoyed by her complained to her to talk softer!
I feel that young generations nowadays are so ignorant. They are less respectful to other people. They seem not to care to other people and become selfish. In the college, some residents are so clustered within their own group. They hardly talk or even smile to other people. In the beginning, I always try to be friendly with them like sitting at the same table during meal time. It hardly goes smoothly. They prefer not to talk too much with people like me. But when they come together with their group, they can be so loud as if there nobody else around. It is so different with some others who always greet or at least give a smile when pass by with other people.
Not only in socialising with other people, their ignorance comes to other attitudes, such as less mindful to clean up their own stuff like piling up dirty plates on sink, less mindful to share the public space like leaving clean clothes inside the washing machine for hours, and so on. Here are some postings on Facebook to notify those ignorant to be more considerate. It is so saddening and ironic since the residents of the International House are expected to live in diversity respectfully.
