Psychology: presentation

Self-tutoring about psychology: the tutor visits a curiosity of human temperament.

I recall, preparing yard waste, making real effort to render the bundles not only functional, but attractive.

One of my inner voices piped up: “It’s just refuse – why worry about it? As long as it’s easy to load, who cares?”

Yet, so many people – myself included – do care about how their refuse presents at the curb. I wondered why.

The reasons at which I arrived:

1. At the curb, garbage is presented in public.
2. People leave their garbage at the curb, so cannot explain if it looks messy.

In the 70s and 80s numerous detective shows, etc, on TV visited the idea that “you are what you throw away” – a sentiment one of my teachers mentioned as well. People know that the garbage they present at the curb reflects on them, which is why they present it neatly.
