7 Polite Examples To Be Aware Of
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A polite fiction is a group’s ability to substitute fiction for reality when doing so promotes group harmony. Below are 7 polite examples.

1. Politeness

The rules of politeness frequently require the display of fiction. For instance, in Japan, it is customary to bow as a sign of respect and humility. This might happen when there is a lack of genuine humility or regard in the relationship.

2. Facial Expressions

Facial expressions such as smiling contribute to the creation of a calm atmosphere.  For instance, smiling at a neighbor demonstrates that you have no resentment toward them. This can happen when you are not experiencing feelings suitable for smiling.

3. Insincerity

Insincerity, for example, pretending to be friends with someone you despise due to their social rank or authority.

4. Denial

The ability of groups to reject a fact if doing so will jeopardize their social cohesion. For instance, a company that contributes to economic damages — such as pollution — has a culture of avoiding the subject.

5. Groupthink

Groupthink is a highly charged ideological atmosphere in which individuals of a group must pretend to believe what the rest of the group pretends to believe or suffer group rejection. This is done by the appointment of self-appointed thought leaders and thought police who define and enforce the ideology.

6. Elephant In The Room

An elephant in the room is a subject on everyone’s mind but is avoided by most people due to its social awkwardness. For instance, an extended family fails to bring up a recent family divorce during a Christmas party.

7. Saving Face

When a group assists an individual in avoiding embarrassment, this is referred to as saving face. For instance, employees who offer positive remarks after someone deliver a plainly unsuccessful presentation.
