What are your observations on society and where it’s headed?

June

Being from the older age group, I have noticed a marked difference in the behaviour of the public in general from earlier years. In general most people seem to be quite rude in the way they treat others. They don't consider others and will stand in the way on footpaths, sometimes in a group strewn across the path so that others walking past have to squeeze past. They don't even apologise or make an effort to move. They do the same in Supermarket aisles also. When you meet a shop assistant who is well mannered and polite and obliging to you. it's a real pleasure and quite unusual these days. Mobile phones are also used inappropriately, especially in cafes and at checkouts. I live in a regional area and until recently it did seem better here but I have now noticed that things are becoming the same here.
