Jeffrey Weiss, the correspondent of this article was very inspiring because he suggested ways to fix the problem that is occurring today. He is completely correct that the constant criticism has gotten out of hand. It’s time to put people in their place by doing it in an effective way. The only method that will work with most people is to, “call them on it. Do it politely, with kindness and consideration. But do it clearly and cleanly, with a humble explanation of what they did wrong.” This statement was the “hotspot” of this article because it states a clear way to fix the issue at hand. We could yell or criticize back to these people but all that will do is give them more fuel for their next complaint. The only way to get it into their heads is to give them straight facts.
It is sad that individuals feel the desire to disagree with everything they hear about. The truth is, what people hear isn’t always right. Information is always twisted around by the media and gossip, so what you hear is not always what is real. Weiss says, “If I write about cancer treatments, I do not feel obliged to quote someone who is in favor of illness. And when it comes to the hateful, divisive, inaccurate, dishonest, hypocritical language that sets itself up as so much political discourse these days, I need not tweeze out some specious justification in the name of illusory "balance." The more people focus or “tweeze” out unpleasant information, the more they are going to get. You attract what you put your attention on, so they are ultimately making that choice.
