Time passed so fast in these ever changing world. From being nomadic to civilized ones. What brought us to this new age? Maybe knowledge that has been us unto us by our ancestors. But it should only be knowledge we should acquire from them? One of the saddest thing about our world right now is the diminishing manners that brought that us to this new century. Although not all have totally forgot the proper etiquette taught to us when were young, or have we really been taught?
One reason I believed that made the new generation's manner so displeasing is lack of proper education. It's not academic education since as early as two years old children were already sent to school. It's the education that made us human. Made us care for our fellow being, everything that surrounds us. We should remember that it's part of civilization who brought order to the society.
Another reason is probably this new generation failed to see these in their elders actions. Sad to say, but as role models of the younger generation parents or simply older ones failed to do lead those children accordingly. They failed to do so because they focus too much on surviving, not knowing that manners are essential for survival.
Imagine living during the prehistoric time when civilization hasn't existed yet or during the medieval times when people were so barbaric yet civilization already existed. These manners put order in the society. We continue moved forward with our technology and yet we failed to brought order with us. We should not let those "manners' die because it's the most important lesson and gift that our ancestor have impart on us. With what we have now, we should not forget that we're human being after all.
