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.

Yes you are right. Society has changed and unfortunately not for the better. Morals and values have gone by the board in many cases and areas. Families often don't spend any quality time together eating meals, discussing their days and generally communicating. (Fault the need for 2 incomes to survive). As a result the art of real face to face conversation is dying and many young people spend hours on computer gaming consoles and media chat sites without having any real valuable face to face communication and social mixing with anyone. No Manners, No respect for possessions and property and no respect for selves. Very sad.
