When people with privilege didn't think about the ananymous

Friday afternoon, especially in a cold day, there are very few students in the library.

I thought this could be a good chance of taking over the advantage to have a quiet study, but the thing is totally different form what I think.

There is a regulation of no cellphone, no food in the library other than the coffee corner of this buiding. But I guess the only students here are taking over the advantage that no one is correcting them since there are very few ones around. I found a girl eating McDonld in the main reading room behind me. I wanted to avoid this, but this part is the section with good lighting. Also, there are several students talking over their cellphones from time to time. All these, like the unintegrity we saw in political scenes, are minor misconducts that doers think it is alright since nobody sees them or care to correct them. And I think the university administration leads their actions to this. There is no respect on the priority of learning and reading. In this quiet afternoon, the construction of library is going, computer lab renovates without prior sign, the workers pull the working cart out of the library which makes a great noise..... No respect, no learning from the students.

This kiind of thing happens everywhere, and American college students are notorious on this when they think it is their possible chance of being careless. Bureaocratic mentality leads to unjust or even unhuman imitation that the people in power think they have the right to do anything without the consideration toward the ananymous other...

Minor politeness and minor transgression are not antagonistic, they are the mutual breeders for unilateral conservative actions.
