Have we evolved into a narcissistic society, as the media have alleged? Do you think the importance of manners and etiquette is less essential? If you live in a country or regional area, is there more of a community spirit and comrade in your district? I really would love to hear your opinions on this issue so please do share your thoughts.

I think that in today's society people tend to be more outspoken about things they don't like or that irk them, then things that they agree with or make them happy. It's like the News......bad news sells. When however there is a community or state wide emergency, people's true community spirit comes to the fore. My small regional community does have a sense of this community spirit as it often is looked down upon as a less desirable area, and not given as much importance by the local council for instance as those closer to town. We support each other in trying to have a greater voice and a fairer go in the shire.
