4. Do you think you have been taught good manners? Relitively...but that doesn't mean I actually use them all the time.

5. From whom or where did you get taught them? Parents, mostly. And bits and pieces at school, and to some degree, Sesame Street (I swear, that show taught me everything I need to know in life)

6. Do you think having good manners is an important aspect in your day to day life? Yes. People are much more likely to be nice to you/help you out etc if you're nice to them

7. Do you speak to your parents the same as you would your friends? No. I swear a lot less, for one thing. I also tend not to make fun of my parents as much. But that being said, lots of people are disgusted at the way my parents and I interact. We make fun of each other, and if my parents are annoying me, I'll tell them. Lots of people I know wouldn't ever dream of doing either of those things. I also use please and thanks a lot less at home than I do in public.

8. Do you treat people who you have daily interactions with manners and courtesy? Eg shop assistants, bus drivers etc. Yes. If they ask how I am, I respond, and ask them how they are. I say please and thank you. And I tend to address my teachers with their names, rather than "hey, you" or the equivilant


9.Do you treat people with higher authority and power with more manners and courtesy? Eg teachers, police officers, doctors etc Not so much my doctor, since she's the mother of one of my friends, so I call her by her first name, rather than her title. But definitely teachers - I call them Mr and Mrs/Miss/Ms, which I wouldn't normally do with most adults (my parents are very relaxed about that, so I never really picked it up). And as I said before, I use their names, rather than just a general shout

10. If so why? They've got power to make my life difficult if I don't, basically

11. Are table manners enforced within your home? Sort of. Things like not chewing/talking with your mouth open, yes. No elbows on the table, no. And as soon as you get out of your seat, everyone is totally within their rights to put their feet on it until such time as you come back

12. Is general politeness enforced eg thankyous and pleases? Yes, but not as much as it would be in some situations. If I ask for something without saying please, I probably won't get it. If mum or dad asks if I want a hot drink, and I just respond with "yeah, coffee", that's fine.

13. Do you have a responsibility to help around the house and do your parents put that emphasis on your upbringing? Kind of. We have to help with the dishes, and if mum or dad asks us to do the washing or whatever, we do it. But dad is usually home during the day, and takes the opportunity to do cleaning etc while there's no one around

14. If for example you were on a bus and there was an elderly person or pregnant lady standing would you give up your seat for them?' Probably, but it sort of depends. Pregnant woman who's showing, almost definitely. Anyone else, if I've got an armload of heavy books or something, and they've got nothing, and look like they're just fine as it is, probably not

15. Do you think in that situation the elderly person or pregnant lady would expect you too? Some of them would. But then you have elderly people who don't want to be thought of as elderly and all that jazz

16. Do you think manners are increasing or decreasing in todays society? Decreasing. I've had so many little kids address me in a way I never would have dreamed of doing when I was their age. But having spent time in Germany, where they think you're really polite if you say "Please pass the butter" rather than "pass the butter", I gotta say, Australia's not doing too bad at all.

4. do you think you have been taught good manners? Yes.

5. From whom or where did you get taught them? I got taught them when i was a child, by my mother and father.

6. Do you think having good manners is an important aspect in your day to day life? Of course.


7. Do you speak to your parents the same as you would your friends? No, which i believe i really should. But i suppose going to a public school makes it a little different.


8. Do you treat people who you have daily interactions with manners and courtesy/? Eg shop assistants, bus drivers etc. Yes. Always please, thank you and have a nice day.


9.Do you treat people with higher authority and power with more manners and courtesy? Eg teachers, police officers, doctors etc
More manners? No everyone should be treated equal.

10. If so why?


11. Are table manners enforced within your home?
Yes they are. No elbows on table and so forth.

12. Is general politeness enforced eg thankyous and pleases? Yes.


13. Do you have a responsibility to help around the house and do your parents put that emphasis on your upbringing? Yes, i do daily jobs and weekly jobs.


14. If for example you were on a bus and there was an elderly person or pregnant lady standing would you give up your seat for them? Yes.


15. Do you think in that situation the elderly person or pregnant lady would expect you too? Yes. If not, they should.

16. do you think manners are increasing or decreasing in todays society? They are decreasing. I believe parents do not place enough emphasis on them in households.

4. do you think you have been taught good manners?
Yes
5. From whom or where did you get taught them?
Parents, grandparents
6. Do you think having good manners is an important aspect in your day to day life?
Yes

7. Do you speak to your parents the same as you would your friends?
No

8. Do you treat people who you have daily interactions with manners and courtesy/? Eg shop assistants, bus drivers etc.
Yes

9.Do you treat people with higher authority and power with more manners and courtesy? Eg teachers, police officers, doctors etc
No

10. If so why?
I would tend to treat them all the same. I always say please and thankyou to the busdriver, shop assistant etc and treat them with courtesy. It's much the same with other people.

11. Are table manners enforced within your home?
They are, but not when nobody's looking...

12. Is general politeness enforced eg thankyous and pleases?
Not particularly... it just comes naturally.

13. Do you have a responsibility to help around the house and do your parents put that emphasis on your upbringing?
Yes. I have had chores/ expectations to help out since around 7 years old: before this I was always encouraged to learn skills such as how to wash a car, cook etc.

14. If for example you were on a bus and there was an elderly person or pregnant lady standing would you give up your seat for them?
Yes. I have in the past.

15. Do you think in that situation the elderly person or pregnant lady would expect you too?
I think it is expected, even if the person doesn't say anything. It's less likely that anyone will get up if there are a number of people who could just as easily give up their seats though. Weird, that.

16. do you think manners are increasing or decreasing in todays society?
I think there's a bit of movement in both directions. People are more tolerant of others (or at least pretend to be) but there does tend to be a lot more people who are in too much of a hurry or too absorbed in their own worlds to show basic courtesey (ie. assuming someone knows you appreciate them, rather than bothering to vocalise this)

P.S. add into your discussion that your research may be flawed due to people answering in a way that will make them appear to be more socially acceptable (or in this case well mannered) especially seeing as this is on a public forum. Good discussion point

5. From whom or where did you get taught them?
Parents

6. Do you think having good manners is an important aspect in your day to day life?
Absolutely

7. Do you speak to your parents the same as you would your friends?
Yes, with respect

8. Do you treat people who you have daily interactions with manners and courtesy/? Eg shop assistants, bus drivers etc.
Yes - treat others as you want to be treated

9.Do you treat people with higher authority and power with more manners and courtesy? Eg teachers, police officers, doctors etc
Yes

10. If so why?
They deserve my respect, they have earnt it.

11. Are table manners enforced within your home?
Yes - Practice it always and you never make a mistake when it matters

12. Is general politeness enforced eg thankyous and pleases?
Yes - life without politeness is yuck

13. Do you have a responsibility to help around the house and do your parents put that emphasis on your upbringing?
Yes - the family is a team that works together

14. If for example you were on a bus and there was an elderly person or pregnant lady standing would you give up your seat for them?
Yes - without a second's thought

15. Do you think in that situation the elderly person or pregnant lady would expect you too?
Yes - and so they should

16. do you think manners are increasing or decreasing in todays society?
Definitely decreasing because in Australia particularly parents do not teach their children and expect others to do it. The "respect others" culture has gone and it is all "me me me" and that means no one else deserves any respectful manners. Also, when my children are polite to strangers and in public people are amazed at how polite they are, as if they never hear it otherwise.


THANKYOU!!

NO PROBLEMS! My PLEASURE!

5. From whom or where did you get taught them?

Yes, it is the little things like not pushing into lines, letting people through, saying good morning to people, etc


7. Do you speak to your parents the same as you would your friends?
Pretty much, yes - I have a pretty casual relationship with both my parents and friends


8. Do you treat people who you have daily interactions with manners and courtesy/? Eg shop assistants, bus drivers etc.
Yes


9.Do you treat people with higher authority and power with more manners and courtesy? Eg teachers, police officers, doctors etc

12. Is general politeness enforced eg thankyous and pleases?

14. If for example you were on a bus and there was an elderly person or pregnant lady standing would you give up your seat for them?
Yes, that is one of the most basic "courtesy" rules. I would feel terribly guilty if I were sitting while they had to stand

I think that it is generally expected that people should do that, but that they don't, if you know what I mean?

16. do you think manners are increasing or decreasing in todays society?
Decreasing, I think. There are some people who are just rude (ie no manners at all) but then there are others who are still nice/polite but do not have the same "old-fashioned" manners that people think of when you say "manners"

THANKYOU!! That's okay
