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.

when i was a kid, on the bus you got your bum out of the seat if an adult got on. today i was on the bus and there was a lot of school kids. there was about 10 adults standing up and not one kid offered their seat. the kids had their bags in the aisle and there was 4 of them standing in front of the back door making it hard for people to get off the bus. we would have been thrown off the bus when i was a kid

i remember having my mouth washed out with soap, being belted with mum's belt and other sorts of punishment. these days if you punish your kids, they run to the police and theyre actually listened to! i belive kids should have rights but so should parents

i was at the local shopping centre food court last week waiting in line. a woman jumped the queue and when i said that i was there first and she jumped the queue she told me where to go

i was walking up the street today and i said hello to an eldely lady who looked terrified! isnt it a shame when you feel like you cant say hi to someone in case they are frightened

i think society today is horrible. people have no respect for each other. parents have no rights and their kids know it and thats why kids are so rude today

on the flip side, ive seen some really nice acts of kindness lately too which restores my faith in society a little bit
