I think that good manners are essential to society in general, regardless of ethnicity.
Good etiquette is a matter of opinion, depending on your culture; common sense is a better exercise to follow, in spite of the politically correct B.S. which has crept in to everyone's life over the past decade or so.
Unfortunately, Community spirit has been compromised by over induction of immigrants, who tend to seek out their own people with whom they can communicate.
Probably just a human trait, but nonetheless it has altered the concept of what is a `Community'.
In big cities, it is hard to find an iconic Kiwi community anymore.
This is not bad, just a bit sad to see such a large cultural change take place in a relatively short period of time.
People come here to enjoy the relaxed Kiwi lifestyle, but once they get here, it is elusive, (in cities at least).
