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 feel that the media only looks for those with a negative attitude or wanting to express anger about an issue, as the old saying goes 'Good news does not sell'

As we have often seen, when there is somebody in need within a community, we as a people usually will band together to aid and support them. I have often done so myself as a member of a Service Club and it is this type of support that is given without the need for public acknowledgement.

So, my opinion is that if the focus is given to those with a negative attitude, it will permeate through society. However there are always people willing to give when needed.
