No, s are not still taught how to politrly wear and use gloves. Why not? This is no longer taught because it that kind of information is no longer of any use to us s. Before, the polite way to remove gloves was taught to young s and teens because when they were invited to a formal dance, these kind of manners were important. But, today’s definition of the word formal has changed. Now a days, when an invitation says “formal” there is no obligation, or even thought, of wearing gloves, not even for older women. These rules are no longer taught ecause they are simply out dated. There is no use for those kinds of manners, the only “real” manners still taught are table manners because this is used in daily life.

To answer the question, “Will there come a time when no one says, ‘please’ or ‘thank you’? ” I do not think so. The fundamentals of manners will never be forgotten, but many of the “minor” manners will not be taught to tomorrows generation. Of course, this is just my opinion. Some of the “minor” manners that have been dropped since King Arthur’s time include manners like “Thou shlat not ” and “Thou shalt not lie”. These are written rules that have long scince been forgotten to verbally teach. This is because these are rules I like to call unwritten rules. They are “unwritten rules” because they are rules everyone is expected to follow, but are never written down or taught.

The manner I will pass down to my chil;dren will be many. I will start with actually teaching the unwritten rules. Then as they grow older and more mature I wil focus more on the specific rules. I hope that these do not go away. I wil inforce them with my children and hope they will do the same with their children.
