The question that arises with a lot of Americans is why do some people feel that others owe them and have a sense of entitlement? This is a very controversial issue and a lot of Americans actually feel offended by others actions, but in 85 percent of the time research shows that most Americans are tolerant instead of confrontational in dealing with others actions. So, lets examine this a little bit closer and discuss why others feel a sense of entitlement to begin with and also why they act with this type of negative behavior. One complaint that research shows is that an area where a lot of people feel offended is the grocery store. Another main area of distress is where they live either a condo, apartment, or if they own their own house their next door neighbor. All people will agree that these two areas are where most people seem to violate others and act with entitlement. The next question then is why? Well, in the grocery store people will scoff at others in line. They will cut others off with shopping carts. Others will let shopping carts roll into the side of your car in the parking lot and then complain about you taking too much time paying for your groceries. The real ordeal here is these type of people are just plain rude and feel a sense of entitlement either because when they were young their parents lacked discipline and guidance or they were born with a golden spoon stuck in their mouth and feel they are better then the rest of us hard working Americans. I conducted a research analysis on this and all statistics indicate that most people that have financial wealth do feel they are better then the average American and also those that work hard feel they are entitled to act any way they want because they go to work every day and earn a paycheck to support their families. The bottom line here is most of us including myself go to work everyday and earn a paycheck to pay bills and support our families. The fact is if rude people stop being pompous and learn to treat others respectfully.Then in the long run they may get the same treatment in return. Amazingly, enough when other people respect each other they usually get along. One way to be respectful and to lose the entitlement attitude is to get to know your neighbor and communicate with them. When problems arise do not be confrontational and always try to find solutions or establish a common ground together and by all means do not threaten to take legal action. This type of implied threat only puts anyone on the defensive. If your neighbor parks in the driveway at your place of residency and you know it is wrong then ask them to move it and remind them that it is not allowed. The other rule in dealing with the entitlement attitude is to remind others around you that we are all Americans and remind them of 9/11 and the terrorist attacks on American Airlines and soil and say to them "if we were in a situation where our lives were in jeopardy I would be the first to help you and I hope you would do the same for me", because we are all on the same team we are Americans. Remind them that if our troops over seas are willing to fight and die for our freedom then we better be willing to help the cause. So, if you know someone that acts as if they have a sense of entitlement have them read this article and remind them that we are all the same true Americans that are all on the same team together. Just like our founding fathers had  cohesiveness and maintained the team work attitude when they wrote the Declaration of Independence.
