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.

Hi all. I think values and respect for others and property is definately changing. Not for the better! Maybe we are giving our kids too many "things" and not enough life experiences. We probablly sit in front of the tv and computer, game consoles for too long I have to say that i am probablly guilty of these things myself. However, i live in a small coastal town that is friendly (strangers say hello as you are walking by!) and beautiful.
When disaster and heart ache strikes, it seems that the majority of people, all rally together to help one another. It's amazing!
How many people know their neighbours well anymore? Maybe we all just need to make more of an effort to acknowledge others and do a good deed for someone every now and then. And get away from all the electronics just a little more each day.
