oprah winfrey show I just took the rudeness test on the oprah.com website, and found that I am a pretty polite person. The Oprah Winfrey Show did a segment on how rude we have become to others, and she has a battery of questions on her website right now that will show you how you compare with others in terms of how rude you are. Some of the questions were pretty good. The Oprah Winfrey Show uncovers so many unspoken issues about our society, and politeness is certainly something that fosters good treatment from others; like everything else, you may not notice the results of being polite to someone right away, but over the years, it does pay to treat people with consideration. Being polite gets to be a habit, and it's surprising how easy it is. The Oprah Winfrey Show had all sorts of suggestions on being kinder to strangers, and it was a good one to watch. Even when telemarketers or telephone surveys interrupt your day or evening, it's a good habit to be nice to them.
