The Anti-Social Leanings of American Youth

Have you noticed that more and more young people do not know how to relate to others? I suppose the younger generation has always seemed a bit aloof to older generations, but today, more young people do not seem capable of even carrying on a decent conversation, or observing common courtesies that help them to relate to people of different backgrounds and ages. This is an unfortunate handicap, because being able to relate to different people is the best way to learn, to grow, and to enrich our lives.
