Suzanne Britt's Neat People Vs. Sloppy People

In the writing, “Neat People vs. Sloppy People” Britt focuses on contrasting two diverse people, neat and sloppy. At first glance one would believe that her criteria is what is sloppy and what is neat, rather than how the two think. She concentrates her criteria on moral and sentimentality of the two oppositions. “They have a cavalier attitude toward possession,” Britt wrote about neat people. This explains that neat people don’t care about the sentimental value of an object. Neat people focus on neatness solely. In contrast she writes, “Sloppy people can’t bear to part with anything. They give loving attention to every detail.” This opposes neat people. Sloppy people care about each and every object individually. Sloppy and neat people are

When everyone cleans up workplace after use, it reflects better attitude of employees and respect towards each other.

“At play, retirees demonstrated repeatedly that, although they were no longer working, they had not abandoned the work ethic.” Sun Citizens felt that retirees have earned their leisure by their hard work, and believed they weren’t obligated to remain active in public service. In other hands they believed they should be able to relax, after working all those long years. When asked about why residents decided to move to Sun city “Arizona”, many stated on how much they enjoy the warm climate, the towns cleanliness, and how the city treats its retirees. As much as Sun Citizens valued property and privacy, they also felt strongly about visual order. Residents repeatedly praised the town's cleanliness as evidence of Sun City's superiority to conventional communities. By "clean" they mean not only that the town was free from dirt and litter but that it appeared to be neat, orderly, and well maintained. Sun City was to have "no rough edges, empty lots, junk at back doors, unpaved streets" or any other evidence of "neglect, such as some cities around the

Many people do not live ecofriendly lives or find protecting the environment to be important.

Are neat people inferior to sloppy people? This question’s answer will differ depending on the type of person you ask. According to Britt in her essay, “Neat people vs. sloppy people”, the answer is yes. She uses certain qualities, such as oral description to differentiate neat people and sloppy people, how neat people are lazier, and how neat people are wasteful. Her qualities help explain to the readers why she thinks that her answer is true.

The act of being habitually and carefully neat and clean can make for an interesting topic in a comparison and contrast essay. Dave Barry compares the differences of how women and men clean in his compare and contrast essay, Batting Clean- Up and Striking out. In Suzanne Britt's compare and contrast essay, Neat People vs. Sloppy People she compares the differences of personalities between Sloppy people and neat people. Both essays compare cleanliness in one way or another however they both have differences regarding their use of humor, examples, and points made in their thesis.

Have you ever thought about what your community would look like without litter? If so, it may take a while to find out. One person throwing something on the ground may not think much of it, however, when that trash finds other trash, they begin to build up and make big piles of junk. For example, I am sure people never thought that if they littered, their trash would end up in the pacific garbage patch. Believe it or not, no one thinks that until you look at the pacific garbage patch and see how disgusting it looks just because people were to lazy to throw their trash away. To make matters worse, littering has become very common, which should be stopped because in most cases, trash is not disposed of properly,

Big businesses and factories are built in area that are generally affected by poverty, because those living there either do not know about the effects, or they can’t do anything about it with the state of wealth that they are in. These factories are putting out, harmful gases and little particles that are just wafting around the area, being breathed in the lungs of people around them. Not only are we polluting the air, soil, and water in the areas of these factories, but we are poisoning our people, along with other evolutionary effects that we might not know about for

Being a neat person, I was offended by Britt’s essay when I first read it. After reanalyzing Britt’s piece, I found she was being over humorous to get her point across. Britt claims, “Neat people will toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down the clutter” (215). I have never heard of someone throwing their children out just to cut down on clutter. If I wanted to cut down clutter, I would have the children help me clean and then anything they missed finish, this would be a good lesson for the children while helping me to. Britt uses a very broad sense of humor in basically saying neat people would throw the children out just to not have to work as hard on cleaning the house. An even broader statement made by Britt is about dying relatives. “No sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter of a dying relative ever wrote. Into the trash it goes” (Britt 215). How could anyone neat, sloppy, rich, poor, any quality throw away such a valuable memory such as a past relatives

• Companies do not pay the full costs of their impact. For example the costs of cleaning pollution often fall on society in general. As a result profits of corporations are enhanced at the expense of social or ecological welfare.

All of our lives, we've been told to stay organized. Organization has always been linked to success and less stress. Whether at home or at school organization is something that has been taught to almost everyone since we were born. So which is better? A clean room or a messy room. Some would say that a clean room is better than a messy room. I disagree with that statement. While a clean room does have it's advantages a messy room helps you flourish in mind and soul. Sure, the state of your room may represent how your mind works but disorderliness isn't always bad. There are 2 types of messy: cluttered or just dirty. While clutter shows personality and possibly creativity, a dirty room is very negative and is not helpful in any way. Disorderly rooms looks bad to the people who don't own them but the people who made it that way feel at home when in their room. Consider this from Albert Einstein, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, then what are we to think of an empty desk?” He looked unkempt and was reportedly messy in his personal life, but was certainly a creative genius. Einstein wasn't alone. Mark Twain, too, had a cluttered desk. Perhaps even more cluttered than that of Albert Einstein. Mark Twain was one of the most imaginative minds of his generation.One university got a bunch of students to sleep in specific rooms half messy and half clean. After a few days in the dorms the research conductors asked the students to give ideas on how to decorate a ping

Carelessness and laziness are two common factors that contribute to littering. We have a piece of trash in our hands and a trash can is in site, yet we decide to just throw it on the ground. Littering has become second nature even if it is unintentional. We assume that the trash we throw will eventually disappear into thin air and it won’t affect our surroundings. Little do we know that every little piece of trash thrown out the window all adds up. That small piece becomes a pile of trash that ends up clogging storm drains, contaminating water and endangering wildlife. According to McWhorter, “Sustainability involves conserving resources to prevent their depletion, protecting ecological processes, and eliminating waste and pollution, so as to ensure that our society’s pratices can continue and our civilization can endure” (p. 394).

Distributing all these stuff creates more environmental impacts. Energy is used to transport the stuff around the world as well as for lighting and temperature control of all the shopping malls and stores. The sprawling retail infrastructure is chewing up farmland and wildlife habitat, contributing to car traffic, increasing greenhouse gases and urban runoff, and adding to local solid waste streams.

It is evident that even students of elite schools throw garbage on the ground even in the presence of garbage bins. This shows our attitude towards cleanliness and hygiene.
