“Good manners and good morals are sworn friends and fast allies.” – C.A. Bartol
Bartol’s quote reveals the preoccupation with manners as evidence of morals. Some might argue that today’s youth have a poor sense of manners, and therefore poor morals. Is this true? Do today’s youth lack the morals of previous generations? Or are they simply changing with the times? Plan and write an essay in which you take and develop a position on this issue.
