百字总结:
Respect
The general level of respect people have for other people has declined rapidly in the past few decades and it will continue to decrease until we teach ourselves and our children otherwise.
The current decline in manner at the roof of the household ignores kids unmannered action.And the media contributes to youth growing problem.
Another way Americans show this loss of manners is in how they treat their elders.
Teachers across the United States experience the bad etiquette of students on a daily basis. The students will continue to use little or no manners in school until somebody puts an end to the everyday lack of respect they are allowed to show their teachers.
Basically, the problem America is now facing is one of neglect. I think it's the time for courtesy and respect to make a comeback in our society.
