A mediocre story, though it does present several different ideas as to why there have been a spate of public outbursts by celebrities/leaders.

Not much research, but little was needed for the wealth of examples,

Yes - quality journalism includes anything that, as a citizen o the US, might affect us personally in the future.

I believe this is good journalism because this author does a great job of linking modern to history. The author notes, that ever since the Vietnam War, people have have instinctively changed which has had a huge affect on manners and interpersonal relationships. With public outbursts like Kanye West and Senator Wilson, it is extremely apparent that society has taken an attitude adjustment for the worse. This article does a great job of bringing up key points as to why this is happening and how sociologists feel it is affecting society as a whole and how it can be changed or prevented from becoming even more rude.

I think that this is just okay journalism. I find it interesting how the author was able to combine entertainment, politics and sports to write a story but i felt the piece could have been written better. It related an issue in todays scoiety to a greater picture of life and manners yet did not provide much facts besides the actual incidents that occurred and a few quotes. Other than it lacking an interesting syntax and creative writing style, i thought the topic was well thought out.
