The Decline of Good Manners

Yesterday afternoon, I was walking with my family in the city centre and my son politely asked if he could have an ice cream. As he had used good manners, and we happened to be walking past a McDonald’s, I said, “Why not? Let’s all go have an ice cream”. While we we waiting for our ice cream, we could overhear a lady at the front talking to the cashier. She raised her voice and said something to the effect of, “How long do I have to f***ing wait?! Get your arse moving and get my Big Mac!”. I thought it was a bit unnecessary, as I saw the staff member race off to see if the Big Mac was on its way. The rest of us had been waiting longer than her (literally only two or three minutes), so I don’t see why she thought she needed her hamburger quicker than everybody else. The staff obliged and gave her the Big Mac, probably just to shut her up. I think the main culprit of bad manners is bad parenting. If our children are raised well, they are far less likely to act like some of the people that I saw in McDonald’s yesterday. Society has got to shift its focus away from the economy and back towards morals and ethics. Money only gets our society so far. It’s how people treat each other that is the best indicator of a good society. It’s no good Australia (or China, or USA) being financial well-off if everyone goes around treating each other like dirt. It all begins at home, so if you have children, please teach them proper manners. If they say a bad thing to someone, teach them why it is bad and teach them an alternative way to express their emotions. Teach them to be good people!
