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 agree I cannot believe how selfish and self centred people have become over the last few years. There is so much more of the gimme this, gimme that without any thought as to how it may occur. Unfortunately everyone leads busy lives, but there is no excuse for poor manners or the amount of violence and rage around. When you have children you bring them up with what you feel are good manners and belief in family bonds and doing the right thing by others - treat everyone as you yourself would like to be treated. It's a shame that society has changed the way some people feel about that.
