Article: Rudeness is an absence of respect for the other person, their feelings, their beliefs and their views. When someone is rude, they are more likely to be sarcastic, angry, abusive or bullying.   Rudeness also can include yelling, offensive language, making threats, intimidating gestures like pointing or even shoving.  For example: Raj and Josh waited in line all night for concert tickets. They are excited to see the line finally moving. They have saved for weeks to afford these tickets. Suddenly a group of older guys force their way in line ahead of Raj and Josh. “Hey, we've been here all night. You can't cut in front of us,” says Raj. “Look, you little freak, I'm not moving so shut it,” yells one of the bullies as he puts his face in Raj's face and jabs his finger into Raj's chest for emphasis as he talks. As an illustration of rudeness, the bully is not showing respect for Raj and Josh, for their rights and their views. He is being abusive, he is yelling, using offensive language and being intimidating with his body language. To be assertive is to “express yourself effectively and stand up for your point of view, while also respecting the rights and beliefs of others.” Assertiveness involves all of your communication skills, meaning your words, your actions, your body language and your voice tone and facial expressions. When a person communicates assertively, all of these elements are in harmony. Simply put, assertiveness is being confident without being aggressive. Sometimes you'll feel angry, and sometimes your anger will be very justified. An assertive person will speak up, being respectful while speaking powerfully as needed, whereas an aggressive person will lash out (with words or actions).  Assertive people critique the thoughts/behavior, not the individual. "It was very hurtful of you to make those racial comments to Mika" is different from "You're a racist pig." Assertiveness is rooted in mutual respect. Without both parties respecting each other, you cannot communicate assertively. Instead, the dialogue is filled with aggression or passivity. When you have respect for the other person's feelings, you can get what you want without stepping on others' toes.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Article: Hats are a common element in goth wardrobes, perfect for bad hair days and/or cold weather. There are all sorts of styles you can choose from.  Beanies are a popular choice for basic gothic styles. They are easy to wear and customize. If you like, you can sew on skull or hexagram patches, or stick on button pins from your favorite bands. Bowlers are another great choice if you’re into a retro look. Wear them with a button-up shirt and pants or a cute dress. Wide-brimmed hats will give you a witchy look that fits perfectly into gothic aesthetics. This type of hat pairs best with your favorite dress, a top and skirt, or a shirt and jeans. Pentagram symbols can be found in most goth styles. You can most easily fit them into your wardrobe as a necklace, earrings, or even as a bracelet charm. Pentagram jewelry looks great with many outfits. Combine a choker with a pentagram-shaped pendant with a black dress, tights, and creepers. Choker necklaces have recently gone up in popularity and are very common in goth wardrobes. They look especially great with T-shirts and low-cut tops. You can buy plain black chokers, studded chokers, or chokers with pendants attached. Look for crosses, skulls, crystal pendants, or stars. Wristbands go perfectly with casual outfits, and can be worn with long-sleeved, short-sleeved, or sleeveless tops. Pick cotton wristbands with hexagrams, pentagrams, logos from your favorite bands, or leather wristbands decorated with studs or spikes. Many gothic outfits feature socks or tights. You can buy a pair of plain black tights (solid or transparent) and add stylish tears across the legs with a pair of scissors. Alternatively, you can buy a pair of patterned tights or socks. Skeleton bones, occult patterns, and lace are popular choices. Both boots and creepers (a type of low-top sneaker with flat platform soles) are essential to the gothic wardrobe. A great pair of boots will prove especially handy during the colder months of the year. Look for lace-up boots or a pair decorated with belts to match the aesthetic. You could wear black motorcycle boots as they are popular part of gothic fashion. Also, they have zippers on them which are handy if they need to be removed in any situations.     {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5b\/Dress-Goth-Step-14.jpg\/v4-460px-Dress-Goth-Step-14.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5b\/Dress-Goth-Step-14.jpg\/aid51783-v4-728px-Dress-Goth-Step-14.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
