Some people say that basic courtesy is no longer needed, however, I've noticed that now some people (presumably the same ones) are also calling for manners to be taught as a subject at school
Unfortunately, as with most things, manners (courtesy) is best learned by a child within his/her own family, so it is unlikely to be successful as most seem to think acknowledging someone, saying please, thank you, etc is unimportant when placed alongside what is happening in today's world.
Personally, I think that the world would be a far better place is basic courtesy was in place, and the focus changed from what makes the individual feel good, to what helps others. Today's society is very much focussed on what benefits the individual, then what benefits others. God bless.
