Sadly, today many people are exhibiting less civility toward one another, and children are following suit with teachers and peers in the classroom. This lack of civility has become a major problem, with rude behavior becoming normalized. According to a 2019 NPR/PBS News Hour poll, the majority of Americans agree that a crisis is deepening when it comes to civility (the act of showing regard and respect for others). The point is that everyone should do their best to examine their own behavior, then try to set a good example by putting others first. And that’s a point that you hear again and again in this book.

Etiquette changes with the times, and some rules have been relaxed. But acting respectfully, with grace and tact, will never go out of style! Being rude is easy, but showing kindness takes self-discipline and self-esteem. Being kind is a sign of strength.
