Why are manners lost?
It is because they are not taught from home. Especially from the generations of the past few years. Our world structure has changed in that we now are so concerned about our freedoms of speech and expression that we no longer show good manners when dealing with society. we take without thought, speak without thought, and act without thought.
How can we blame the acts of poor manners on the younger generations, if we do not teach them that poor manners are not an acceptable behavior for them. An example has to be set, to be followed.
Saying please and thank you, are not words spoken very often anymore. Give me, or I want it now, has become so much a part of our vocabulary that children as young as two, can be heard uttering those words.
It's not up to the school systems or others to teach manners to our children, it is our sole responsibility. We define are acceptable actions for our children by what kind of example we set for them in displaying manners towards other. They learn by what they see their parents doing.
Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of life, come with a responsibility. We need to show appreciation for these freedoms. By teaching that the value we hold in these freedoms are expressed through our manners, maybe we can turn bad manners into good manners again.
