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.

Many believe the world owes them and they can do what they want. I live in a Country area and overall the children are more responsible but there are still those who are not given responsibilities that have the me, me attitude. We also have many from the city moving here and their attitude tends to influence others as well. Unless parents take time with their children and learn to discipline and give them responsibilities, this will only get worse. The bureaucrats need to let parents be parents. I had both discipline and responsibilities as a child and grew up with a good view on life. I was smacked often too and it never did me any harm.
