The Curiosity Company's Brains Trust Breakfast: Rude Awakening: The New Rules of Rudeness

Rude Awakening: The New Rules of Rudeness

How did we end up in a world where it’s okay for someone to take a call on speaker in public? Or to ghost you? Or to cut queues, ignore the person serving you, or go to the store in your pyjamas? Is the world becoming ruder or have the rules of social behaviour changed that much? Is the lockdown really to blame? At this Brains Trust Breakfast we’ll explore the curious decline of old-fashioned manners and the rise of new forms of rudeness. In the process we’re outline what we think they reveal about a world where technology, individualism, generational expectations and social norms are all shifting at once. Come along for a provocative breakfast conversation about manners, boundaries, and technology. And like all of The Curiosity Company’s Brains Trust Breakfast, discover the surprisingly big ideas hiding behind the small things in our everyday lives.
