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.

We're kind of insulated these days, and there is an element of fear to that because of what we see on the news. The closer you get to the city, the less friendly people are, always in a hurry to get to wherever they're going. Going to a shopping centre is like entering the land of the zombie people. Many people are damned rude and walk right through you as if you're not there.
There are always going to be individuals who surprise you and help you out. In our area, the people are very friendly for the most part. I think its living near nature, the wetlands and the beach. And all the beautiful animals.
