My experience is that all so-called "primitive" societies have an |
| 8 |
excellent grasp of this thing called manners - it's the oil that |
| 9 |
lubricates social interaction. |

By contrast, Western culture by and large is not only mostly ignorant |
| 12 |
of manners and proprietary, but we made a conscious decision to |
| 13 |
discard all of it entirely. |

I too have come into contact with many cultures other than |
| 16 |
my own. The only one that goes out of it's way to be rude as a matter of |
| 17 |
course is the Caucasian. Food for thought. |
