The dwindling lack of social skills brought about by our increasing use of communications and internet technology. How much face-to-face interaction do we have anymore to carry out our responsibilities at work and at home? Nearly all tasks of our daily lives can be conducted via email, internet, IM, etc. Even though the world is becoming "smaller", we, as individuals, are becoming more isolated from one another.

People are more concerned with their own wants and needs and ignore the best interest of others. People are too used to getting their way and most are spoiled, especially here in the US. A lot of Americans simply don't realize how good they have it here, they are too self absorbed! Manners here are almost completely gone, as is common courtesy and politeness!

I think that's a generalization. There are rude people out there, but there have always been. Our newspaper has a section about kind things people have done, and it is always full of stories of people returning lost purses and wallets, people stopping to help people w/car trouble.
I think people just need reminders once in a while about common courtesy and kindness.

They've been taught from an early age that they are SO special. We've raised a generation of Narcissists

Because parents teach their kids that they are entitled to whatever they want and that everything is all about them. Therefore, few people have manners or care about others.

People are just more selfish these days.Everyone thinks,"Me,first."They do not stop and think about their actions.People are also growing more socially inept because of technology;theyd rather text message,talk on the cell phone,IM,PM, you name it,than deal with other people face to face.
