I often wonder whether the huge popularity of period dramas (think Pride and Prejudice) was due to the fact that the characters always treated each other with extreme (and formal) courtesy.
It isn't that there was any less selfishness, self-centredness or plain malice than in our own world, it's just that the world runs a bit better when people take the trouble to bother with manners.
I think that appeals to people in some deep and unconscious way. We all want to be treated with respect. Perhaps it's time for a little more of the old 'please, thank you' and 'may I?'........
