One of my biggest problems with up and coming college students is the lack of courtesy and manners that is running rampant in our society. I feel like this lacking has started at home and the parents of today are no longer requiring manners to be enforced in homes or even in public. This really bothers me because kids are being shown that there is no distinction between casual exchanges and business exchanges. Vocabulary is poor, grammar is horrible. No one is taught to revere your elders or respect them. There is no yes ma'am or yes sir. Common courtesy has lost its place in our modern society. I feel it is our place as educators to continue the responsibility of helping teach adults and young adults appropriate business behavior.
