It's me, me, me and advertising supports this by telling us we deserve this or that. I don't think it's a generational thing either, I have seen inconsiderate young people, middle aged people and aged people. People mostly just care about themselves these days.

I think that goes back to the dawn of recorded history. These days, it's particularly sad that if you try to treat other people with consideration in the way you speak you get accused of being "politically correct". I think a lot of restoring civility to our society rests on the willingness to simply slow down and think. Most of us would agree that we want to live in a more polite and respectful society. It's just that we rush so much that we don't make it a priority.
