I agree. Years ago, it was the norm to hold the door for someone (man or woman), to offer to help an elderly person carry her/his groceries to his car, to assist an elderly person across the street, etc. Now, it just doesn't happen. People just don't care nowadays, everybody is so 'me-me-me' centered.

There are two women at my job who work in another department, and even though I have no idea what their names are or even which department they work for, whenever they see me in the hallway or the elevator, they ask me how I am, and they seem genuinely interested in the answer. That's how it used to be some time ago.

It's not dead, just not popular. Maybe in another generation.
