Courtesy to many people means being polite to others such as greeting others and saying ‘thank you’. Howewer . to me, it covers a wider spectrum that involves being considerate to others in all situations and circumstances.
It does not matter whether one is at a formal party where social graces reign or at home where true colours show themselves. Netheir does it matter whether the other person is rich or poor. It should be such an integral part of us that we naturally behave courteously.
A simple example is when boarding the bus. Do we line up?? Do we give up our seats to the elderly?? Do we help someone who is overloaded to the hilt to board the bus??
Thus, we may say that courtesy shows how we truly regard others. In other word, it shows whether we respect others enough to be caring. If the government were serious abaout having a caring society, educating, the public to be courteous is definitely a beginning worthy of thought and action.
