I have noticed it not just now,but for many years,let me recall,about seven years ago.Almost all generations born from these years do not know good manners and right conduct anymore.They are thought in their respective homes,so are in their classrooms,but why do they not practice it in their daily chores?Like for example when they are using the phone.They just immediately say the names of the person they try to call,without giving a pleasant"good morning or good evening"salutations.
Even the word"thank you"is always missed to pronounced after an errand was made.I can not imagine these things are not practiced by the new generations,especially in the rural areas.These practices and good moral characters are still heard in the provinces.I do not think these practices are non essential because it just going to tell that you have come from a good breeding,therefore,you would be dealt with most respect where ever you go.

I agree with you on this. It seems that everytime my son calls one of his friends he just gets right to it. What happened to the courtesy of introducing yourself and asking how their day or evening is going. Why is it that people are so consumed by time that they don't take that extra couple of seconds to ask and hear the answer. Respect for others has almost been forgotten. Where are our manners, and what about instilling these things in our children.

Thank you very much for the response.The parents must play a very important rule in
the household to make their children practice good courtesy inside and outside of the house.By doing these routines,I think they would soon realized that it is more important than what they have learned from school.Education is not the real essence
to achieve ones own goal to a brightier tomorrow,but the essence of being good manners and right conduct can surely land you a better future to become successful.

I observe that also. It is as if the new generation does not know how to respect elders anymore. they always seem to fight back and always have something to say. But i must say also that there still are respectful new generation of kids. They are very vigilant youth and very dedicated. School does have a share in their molding, but it is more of training from parents. For today's generation, they might have lost love for family because the parents are busy working and has no time to attend to their children. Sometimes i fear that in the next years to come, filipino parents would soon be endorsed to golden homes. I hope im wrong...

Thank you very much for a good response to my opinions.I have also observed those kids are given guidance by their elders,who are strict in their upbringings,but it brought them to have high morals.The most alarming was the fact,that most new kids
lost their good morals,even writting a simple letter would end up without any salutations,which are also read in the revolutionalized texting spelling methods.
