Awfully Chagrined

Self-Reflection as per Wikipedia is "the capacity of human beings to exercise introspection and the willingness to learn more about their fundamental nature, purpose and essence. " Every human being irrespective of sex, color, nationality , religion consciously analyze their lives, character, goals and mistakes. This art or practice I should say of self evaluation helps human beings make rational decisions in their lives.

I strongly believed that with the nobility of self-reflection we contribute in society we live by adapting to culture, religion, morals, ethics and we are always engaged in perpetual state of adapting.

People have been emigrating to different places where they think they can live better and a respectful life. United States of America is one of the countries which welcomed immigrants more than any other country in world. Not all the communities immigrated (legally or non-legally) have contributed to American society as they would have in their own countries.

People are in fact exploiting core American values to their convenience.
Having lived in one of the most diversified, populated,busy metro area in US, I routinely catch a sight of smeared neighborhoods , kudos to dwelling expatriate populace. Their conduct is invariably rude towards general public. What amazes me is such a behavior a consequence of their self-reflection ( feeling of not accepted in American society or is it just a standard behaviorial practice).

I doubt its their self-reflection which portrays such a behavior / character. I am disposed to interpret this as a entire indifference towards entitlement of liberties these people have been granted. I am disheartened with the thought, how this ignorance will be carried over to future generations. I guess I don't want to know it.
