Show detail Hide detail

Discussion between Dewar Ferguson, vice president of Seaman's Union. Margaret Gould, of the Toronto Daily Star, and R.S. Lambert, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation writer and broadcaster. The first part of the discussion centres on the actual definition of politeness. Ferguson and Gould say they think we are too polite and equate certain types of politeness as mere conformity and fear of expressing one's own opinion. Gould states that many people tolerate social discrimination and other abuses because they are too polite to do otherwise. Ferguson believes that in order to bring about progress politeness must at tiems be discarded in favour of frank discussion and at tiems downright rudeness. He and Gould agree that the reason for the slow, painful, advance of needed reforms in Canada is in some measure due to the timid politeness of its people. They all agree that politeness is the norm of human relations and that in certain cases politeness must be put aside. However just rudness is not enough; there must be a mixture of calculated rudeness and politeness in the successful person. <30mn>
