There is no doubt times have changed, and along with time have the modes and mediums of communication also.  Even the styles and ways we dress for success have made some eye-popping and jaw-dropping changes.  But are those, in most cases, convenient and relevant changes grounds for some of the disruptions in social interactions we are seemingly forced to bear?  Could the more frequent fights and disruptions within the modern family be a result of lack of respect (especially for elders), which is consequently a breakdown in healthy communication, and ultimately the product of our decision to abandon proper mannerism and etiquette? Today we choose to label the disruptions described earlier by "high-end clinical" terms such as communication breakdown, lack of people skills, social deficits, personality disorders, or personality conflicts.
