SimranWho Was To Blame?
The incident might be amusing for some and assault for the others but then who was to blame for the bad behavior of the kid? If we put the whole blame on the kid that would be an injustice because he was just a kid and was bound to make mistakes, it was the responsibility of the elders to correct them whenever they make mistake.
Equally At Fault
At the time of the incident, the kid was accompanied by his guardian who people were supposing to be his mother was the major culprit behind such kind of behavior. If at all she had taught him to behave in public and pointed out when he showed this kind of behavior before the incident, the situation might have been different that day. Instead, she chose to be ignorant of the same.
Subways
If you had ever traveled in subways especially in New york you would now it becomes difficult to breathe let alone to get a seat. The seats too are designed in a way that 3 people can adjust and the straphangers know that they have to share seats with the fellow unknown passengers and adjust their seats with more than 3 people if the subway is packed with the crowd.
Notorious People
Not everyone is so generous to adjust or to offer their seats to more needy ones even if there are posters pasted in the subway. They are least bothered about the other person and seem to have no responsibility as a fellow passenger just as the kid. Mostly men carelessly sit in the trains blocking the seat and not giving other people enough room to sit and Joe was just a kid, what could be said about the teenager.
Technology These Days
Most people generally have their heads buried in their phones or laptops. There is no doubt that technology has made people come closer to each other but it has become an addiction, especially for the younger generation. The kid too was so engrossed in the video game or whatever he was watching that he forgot all his manners.
Main Cause
No doubt technology has increased the availability of the opportunities, now people don’t have to go from door to door to seek a job or education, everything is on the internet. People don’t have to travel miles to get stuff and their favorite things are just a click away. But then it has surely made people confide to their houses and hence they rarely go out and explore. The facility has also become an invitation to diseases and much more.
