As Ginnie says in the novel, "You don't pass or fail at being a person", I have to arguably disagree with this statement. In my opinion, a person is someone who makes an effort in their life to love or be compassionate for someone, and someone who tries in the best of their ability to make a difference in this world. In my mind their are a few things that someone can do to fail as a person, they can first of all promote violence in their country, have a negative attitude towards everything in life, and have an overall hate for mankind. If someone is apart of a gang and kills people for no reason, that is someone I would say is not considered a person. We seen an example of this in the short story, "The Frolik", as Joe Doe likes to kill innocent children for plain enjoyment, as he proclaims he's protecting them from the dangerous world that lies ahead. Some people may do violent acts such as killing, just to repay for acts done to them, or they see it as a sense of belonging. If an individual has the heart or ability to hurt another member of society and mankind, I believe they should be striped of their title of a person. In the process of calling an individual out for not being a person, I think that would behavior that would be seen as an act of negatively pointing out mankind. If we point out someone as not a person, we are doing just as a negative act as they are. If we pronounce someone as failing, we become the person who tries to explain the idea of being better than they are. We shouldn't have to announce our the better people, it should be something we know as a society, without pointing out the difference among us individuals. It's our job to be the better individual in this situation, and live the best possible example for children developing in this country.

The older man notices the music and decides to listen to his own music off his phone aloud.

Towards the end of the film, a man enters the elevator with a boom box, and begins setting up his box to play music. All of the individuals stop their music, as the man looks around wanting them to stop the playing of their music. The man then inserts a headphone and begins listening to his music. The people in result are shocked and few even laugh to notice they can't hear the man's music. The author's purpose of the article, to inform everyone on their decisions of respect. It's rude to listen to musi...
