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.

I totally agree. Where have the days gone where people would stop and help others in the street - to cross the road, to carry the shopping. People in general however do not see people with a disability, In the past nine years I have had two operation on my leg due to an accident and have been blown away that people do not see that you are in a wheelchair or on crutches they just push past you let doors shut in your face. It only takes a few seconds to let the person hobblying/wheeling along to go through the gap first. Come on people opne your eyes.
