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.

Wow you are my kind of people Sandy! I am now a senior (66) and have very silver hair and I find young people do give up their seat for me and smile at me. I sometimes worry about the way some people treat others, but I think there are still plenty of us out there who smile at each other, help each other and generally behave well. Manners are a little shaky with some, but if we all did the right thing by raising our children with manners and care for others, the human race will survive. Don't take what the media says too literally - they sure could use some manners!
