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 believe that society has certainly changed over the years. Thoughtfulness and manners seem to have fallen by the wayside. Some people seem to have the couldn't care less about anybody else attitude. I have lived in a big city in the past and I have found that if you need help from a stranger, you just won't get it. I now live in the country and the people here are so friendly and helpful. It seems that nothing is too much trouble for them, some will even go out of their way to help. We seem to have a really good community spirit in the rural and regional areas.
