No I don't think that we have evolved into a narcisistic society. I live in a sydney suburb and our community spirit is alive here. If anyone in the street needs help there is always someone there to help. We in my section of the street put out garbages and collect letters for neighbours who are away on holiday and keep an eye on their homes as well.
If someone is sick or their car is broken down or lost keys there again will be someone to step in and lend a helping hand, take a pot full of soup. a shoulder to cry on or lend them their car to take the kids to school.
As far as the manners and etiquette is concerned yes they have dissappeared a lot unfortunately. children don't seemed to be taught them any longer and it is rare to hear a child or for that matter an adult or dare I say it a senior citizen even.
I think its the business of the city and everyone is in so much of a rush that they just forget to take the time to do these things.
