NEW YORK - I don’t know what happened between the two women at Disney World. I really don’t. But I’m not surprised that whatever happened did because we are fast losing something precious in our culture: civility. The word is derived from another word, citizenship. And early last century civility had come to mean courtesy or politeness. But at the beginning of this century road rage, cutting ahead in line, littering and blaring car alarms are the order of the day. And it’s not just here in New York. I’ve been all over this country and yes, some places are better than others, but the culture-shift is nationwide. So what to do? Well, we can start to reverse the tide with two little words: Thank You. There’s nothing like a face to face expression of gratitude to lighten the spirit. Compliment what has been done, give reason for it, and do it right away. Think about it. Has a “Thank You” ever made your day? And so while we’re at it, thank you for watching. And that’s the Last Word. –Jami Floyd, In Session anchor Filed under: Uncategorized |
