English Majors: Attitude Problems

English Majors are boastful and arrogant...

Really??

It has been a common misconception that most English Majors (particularly in our campus) are boastful and arrogant. And right now most professors in our department (English Department) are probably getting such feedbacks---that we have attitude problem.
I beg to disagree.... slightly... about such hasty generalization.
The first thing that came to my mind is that most other majors consider our Way of speaking English as showy and haughty. Because they may say that when we speak in English, we sound as if we're showing off what we know about the language--which I guess is not a problem if you are really good at it (unless you're becoming really showy about it.) But come on, it's our forte--our majorship---for crying out loud!! Aren't we suppose to put such skill into practice?!
And we aren't even turning our backs to our mother language (My gang at school even have this momentary check on deep Tagalog words that we know and share it to each other.)
Secondly, we are victims of hasty generalizations.Maybe, one time, an 'other-major' student met a group of English majors who are acting as if they are the only 'children of God'. So they may perhaps come up with one generalization (without further observation and study) that all of us are like that.
I might start thinking that they don't have any idea what individualization is.
I am not doing this write up to defend our majorships. I don't even know much of the other English majors in our club (English Club--where all English Majors are members.) I am just trying to say a little about our side---because other majors seem to speak against us (and that, my friend, is just my hasty generalization. How do you like that??? Provoking, ain't it?)
How about if I see a couple of Psychology Majors having sex inside classrooms... is it okay to say that all Psych Majors do that in the campus? Or if I see some Physics Majors taking illegal drugs...wouldn't it be unfair to say that all Physics Majors are drug addicts?? Aren't those too mean to say??? Of course, these are just examples---no fact about such. But isn't it painful for you to hear such generalization when you yourself is not like that?
And I'm not saying we don't have attitude problems. Of course, I guess, we do!! Nobody's perfect!! But I don't find much of them (attitude problematic students) in my section... Maybe some... But nobody so offensive... I don't know about the other sections.
Personally, I believe I have attitude problems. But I am certain that these problems I have about myself don't affect the image of every English Majors.
Because I am just myself. It is just me... And I do no intentions of ruining our image.
So maybe not all English majors have attitude problems..
Maybe several of us have... But not all, I believe so..
NOT ALL.
So before you judge other people's attitude, see first if your own ass is already free from shit stains.
