Manners and Morals

Why is it that people find it so hard to complement others? Just to walk over to someone and say great job or congratulations. I find that for the older generations it almost comes as second nature. So why is it that the younger generations do not posses that same ability? The ability to acknowledge the accomplishments of someone. It’s almost as if my generation is throwing morals out the window. Many people I am acquainted with have no respect for anyone or anything. Some people still don’t hold the door or shake hands or say “please” and “thank you” which are parents drilled into us as children. With new technology we no longer have to work as hard as people did 70+ years ago to reach the same destination. Has technology caused us to disregard common courtesy by making life more convenient? Holding the door seems weird to my generation. How can we resurrect our manners and politeness?
