Often... a certain group of people in a certain school cry out in indignation about how the public or rather another group of people like to generalize them. However, from an observer's point of view, if simple words like "thank you" is not a part of their everyday vocabulary, how do they expect others to respect them as human beings?

These so called elites of the society, although offered courses to groom them into cultured beings, often miss the point of these courses totally. The defination of cultured is, "educated, polished, and refined." However, most of these "elites" have only managed to realize the education part.

Someone once told me, we are a first world country filled with third world manners. I agree wholeheartedly as in my line of work, i've met too many of these elitists to refute that statement.
