Today's world arguments are definitely becoming apart of Americas culture. In Straks' e letter he has some good points. Straks quoted Vince Lombardi saying "Winning isn't everything. Its the only thing". He said that at first he was appalled but then after it being used numerous times as a motivation he began to accept it. It quote is true not just for sports, but for just about everything in life. Everyone wants to be the best and have money and power. I believe that the world today argues a lot more then in the past but I don't think that in the past everyone was nice. That quote is from the 1970s so even almost 40 years it was about being the best. He also brings up a good point with women in the work field. He states that "what if, after absorbing the more aggressive, confrontational approaches at work, these same women unconsciously manifest similar attitudes at home raising not just their little boys but their little girls?" I don't think that it only affects little girls. I think the same thing goes with little boys too. There are times where I see little kids yelling at there parents and telling them no and being disrespectful to other adults. I do believe that America has gotten worse with the amount of arguing going on but I don't think that there was a time where there was none. There has always been arguing. Chances are if there are two people together long enough they will eventually find something to argue about not matter what time frame it was in.
