We live in a nation of lost souls. Being kind to our fellow man is no longer as important to us, as it was in years past. Today, "reality" television has taken over, and people tend to idolize individuals who blatantly display rude and crass behavior. It is my goal and desire to turn people toward a more kind and gentle way of being. Etiquette and protocol intelligence is valuable to me, because I believe, it taught, reinforced, and displayed, we will return to more civilized ways. Those who are enlightened will be stellar examples to those who are not. "Each one - Teach one." The above traits are important in social settings, and business settings. Being polite, and well versed in protocol, will set individuals on the right path to success in our society. Michelle E. Donatto The Southern Etiquette Society
