I'm proud of Singapore! We should follow their example. The public transportation there has started a campaign to promote graciousness. They have displayed posters reminding people to head to the back of the bus, give up their seat, and to not try to push and shove to be the first on. They will have secret agents riding the bus and train equipped with free passes to give to those they see "displaying acts of graciousness."
I love this video. I love even more that they are spending time and money to educate the general public on how to be polite. Maybe people just haven't been taught. Maybe they would be happy to comply if only they knew. Maybe if it was more commonly accepted there would be enough social pressure to make them do it even if they didn't want to. Because what it really comes down to is that common courtesy is was separates us from animals and makes us a more divine species.
