Oftentimes in society, we take many things for granted. Many things we may not even notice. We take for granted the safety of the normality of our lives. We also take advantage of the care and precision that goes into keeping that way. In our safe society the behaviors we display are expected to be courteous and polite. Society does not expect the people in it to be rude or without manners. Our society is like this because we are always being watched, being regulated. Many times people have wondered what would happen if we were not always watched. We wonder if man would be evil or good. That is exactly…

According to the New York Times, it was respectful and proper etiquette for a man to take off his hat when he entered an elevator. Now, the 1950’s were not perfect by any means, but the character, and the elegancy that most men and women in that time had, is substantially different from those of the men and women of today’s society. Part of the problem is respect and manners are not being shown in the homes or schools, they aren’t even being taught like they should be. It should be taught in the schools, starting in kindergarten, and if it is taught every year, required for the students to treat their teachers and their peers, then respect would not go extinct. For something like this to work, it can’t just be talked about, it has to be enforced. Children in the 50’s were expected to say “please” and “thank you”, or to give up their seat to an adult. They were expected to stand when an adult entered the room, or to use their manners. If the children didn’t, they were…

Throughout history, we have come from computers as large as a warehouse to computers that fit on our wrists, from computers that are massive to launch a moon mission to having that same power in our smartphones.…
You know that one person that bumps into you but doesn’t have the common courtesy to say excuse me or I’m sorry they just keep walking like it never happened, and wonder why someone is stepping to them rudely.

Etiquette is not just about what fork to use other words it’s all about self-awareness and treating others with respect. It’s sad and unfortunate that a lot civility has gone with the wind.

As the relevance of the mining sector grows globally, the Indian mining sector11is lagging behind, with just 1.2 per cent contribution to GDP over the last decade (as opposed to 5 to 6 per cent in major mining economies) and very low exploration spend per square kilometre (USD 9 (` 400) compared to USD 124 (` 5,580) for Australia and USD 118 (` 5,310) for Canada).
