Using a cell-phone in public |
It is not an exaggeration to say that cell phone becomes a part of our life and its highly developed technology is beneficial. On the other hand, as far as I am concerned, using a cell phone in public needs to be regulated in terms of its unsuitability for some places as well as the possibility for some people to commit bad conducts.
First and foremost, using a cell phone in a public place needs to be prevented because it is inappropriate. In other words, you can be considered impolite or unsophisticated when you use a mobile phone in some places. For instance, one of my best friends had a difficulty in her company because of her conducts related to her cell phone. One day, all employees in her company, including her bosses, participated in a seminar. They were discussing a new and grand project they were going to undertake, so the atmosphere of the seminar was quiet heavy and serious. In the middle of the ardent discussion, her cell phone rang. She should have turned off the phone and said sorry. However, she answered the phone in the seminar room although all participants could hear her! I know that she is generally a nice person, but many workers started to think that she is rude and uncivil. All in all, using a mobile phone in a public place should be blocked.
Second, using a cell phone in a public place should be regulated in terms of the fact that it can hinder what others are doing. It is clear when it comes to my experience in subway. I usually commute to my school by subway and read books during the quiet a long time I go there. One year ago, two girls stepped on the subway which I was in. As soon as they have a seat, one of the two started to play a game on her cell phone while listen to music aloud at the same time. Many people including me, who were focusing on their individual doing such as reading books or previewing a textbook, became frustrated about them. From this experience, I became to know that using a cell phone in public can be a great interference on people's working or doing.
In conclusion, as I mentioned above, using a cell-phone in a public place should be prohibited in that it is improper and can impede what others are doing. If you use your cell phone in public without caring for others, I recommend you to remind these facts and avoid it. |
