    Episode three, Living in a Rude World, offers practical strategies for preserving dignity amid constant incivility. Maya guides listeners through responding when targeted by rudeness—managing freeze, fight, or flight reactions, setting boundaries without escalation, and processing the emotional aftermath. The episode addresses the bystander's dilemma, explaining effective intervention techniques and how to create accountability at systems level. Maya provides frameworks for choosing battles wisely, building resilience without cynicism, and maintaining empathy while protecting yourself. The series concludes by emphasizing that cultural norms shift through accumulated small stands, that every interaction votes for the world we want, and that bad manners only win when good people give up on maintaining standards of basic human decency.

  • Bad Manners - Why We're Rude

    Bad Manners - Why We're Rude
    2025/10/15
    Episode two, Why We're Rude, investigates the psychology and sociology behind bad behavior. Maya explores accidental offenders who are oblivious to their impact, examining how stress, exhaustion, and decision fatigue collapse our self-monitoring abilities. The episode then examines intentional transgressors who use rudeness to assert power and dominance, retaliate for hurt, or experience the thrill of transgression. Finally, Maya analyzes the systems that enable bad manners—digital anonymity that removes accountability, incentive structures that reward aggressive behavior, and leadership that models incivility. The episode reveals how pandemic-era collective trauma shortened everyone's fuses and how rudeness gets amplified through social media algorithms. Understanding these causes doesn't excuse bad behavior, but provides insight into addressing it effectively.

  • Bad Manners - The Anatomy of Rudeness

    Bad Manners - The Anatomy of Rudeness
    2025/10/15
    Episode one, The Anatomy of Rudeness, explores what actually constitutes bad manners versus cultural difference. Maya examines behaviors considered universally rude—violence, silencing others, deliberate humiliation—versus those that vary wildly by culture like eye contact, silence, and directness. The episode investigates the tension between intent and impact, explaining why good intentions don't erase harm caused. Through research on cortisol spikes, cognitive impairment, and social contagion, Maya reveals how rudeness literally affects the brain and spreads through communities. The episode concludes by examining who bears the burden of absorbing others' bad behavior—service workers, women, and marginalized groups—and argues that dismissing civility as trivial ignores how daily interactions shape our collective humanity.
