Paper 6 Conclusion Examples

Manners:

It would seem wise if we separated "procedure" and "essence." People who follow the proper "procedures" are thought of as good-mannered even if they are not good people: they might be firmly shaking your hand in order to make it easier to steal your wallet. Contrariwise, many people who behave oddly or who generally do not follow polite "procedures" well cannot immediately be dismissed as "impolite" or "bad" people. We need to reconceive what are good manners and what makes a good person, for bad people have long figured out how to use traditional good manners to hurt people.

Prejudice:

It is up to teachers to understand their students' needs and attitudes. Students also should learn more about teachers and behave more reasonably with regard to class participation and interaction with the teacher. However, teachers are by definition the more responsible group, and teachers should not use bad student behavior as an excuse not to fulfill their obligations as teachers. To treat students badly only reinforces some of the negative ideas students have about education--namely, that it is a four-year jail term that doesn't really teach students anything.

Besides, a teacher should recognize that there is more to a student's life than your class. (We can understand the vanity of a teacher thinking that students are stupid if they don't like his class, but that is still a prejudice that should be eliminated.) Teachers need to learn to be sympathetic to students, and when students do not behave appropriately, teachers need to find ways to mete the proper punishments without allowing anger and prejudice to creep in.
