Did you Know...that simple good manners have all but vanished?
Remember when women were treated like true ladies? Men stood up when they entered a room. If walking on a sidewalk, men would walk to the curbside (originally to protect women from runaway horses) and men never cussed in women’s' presence. Nor did women use "gamey" language.
Children addressed adults as Mr. and Mrs. When company came, children would greet guests, shake hands, and then vanish. When guests at our museum are given a tour, they are reminded upon seeing the Larsen’s parlor, that children were "seen and not heard." Adults rate their own special time too. "Respect you elders" was the rule. Children answered "Yes sir" and "No ma'am."
The way we dress has also lost its respect too.. College professors and business men were always in coat and tie. This showed respect for customers and students, respect for themselves, and respect for their place of employment. After all, respect is a two way street-give it, and you receive it.

Remember when men always wore hats, and women wore gloves and hats when going "downtown shopping?"
Letter writing is a lost art. Now there are phone calls, e-mails, and texting. Among our young people, texting is the most prevalent. How do you tell the "tone" of a person's message in such a shortened text? With Face Book and twittering, there is also a big lack of respect for privacy. People's day to day events of their lives are posted for all to see. How about the simple R.S.V.P. (respondez s'il vous plait- in French meaning respond please)? Who does this anymore?
The only place to still use common courteously and take time for respect for kindness, seems to be in the South. There's still a prevalence of taking time to be interested in one another. Life moves at a slower pace. There is less of the automatic and boring "Have a nice day." This especially irritates me if it is evening and the employee refers to day. Instead of commanding a nice day, the little courtesies of yesteryear MADE it a nice day!
