Values

Tweet

Is it just me or do people lack basic values these days?

I could go on and on about this one -- it's so frustrating to see examples of this every day.

Has showing respect to our elders became a thing of the past? Is there no difference between how one should act around friends and how one should act around others (adults, parents, etc)?

I am not talking about joking around with the elders. I'm talking about kids not having the courtesy to hold the door open at a mall or at an eatery when they see an older person making their way through... or when they see a mother with a stroller or holding the hands of multiple children. I see it all the time -- instead of doing so, some actually go out of their way to rush past it all.

How about the simple words like "please" and "thank-you"?

Observe, if you will, at a retail store next time you are there: it's unbelievable how many consumers go up to a employee and pretty much demand "this in blue" or "this in a size 8". How about politely requesting, instead of demanding?


P.S. Don't forget to leave me a comment below on your thoughts! As always, I'd love to hear from you.
