Write 2 page essay on the topic :Break a Social Norm.

I chose this approach for several reasons. The first is I do get irritated by disruptive children. I feel the need to define a disruptive child. An infant under one is not responsible for crying in the store. Normally the child is just tired, hungry, or dirty. This cry is the baby trying to communicate.
