I don’t think the manner “police” is an excellent idea though.

I recall watching a video of what i believe to be civil activists? policing the streets of shibuya. Mostly telling youngsters to quit loitering, standing on the streets, etc. It quickly degenerated into a shouting match with both sides hurling verbal abuses. Not pretty. Uncomfortable for the bystanders too i think.

@Setsuna-san, Choo, & D_Blade: Thank you for your work ^^, I’m glad to hear that people out there are still doing the right thing by giving up their seat.
@Espydon: True, I wouldn’t go out as much as I do if I didn’t have to lol.
@M12: It really is surprising isn’t it?
@Asch: That’s good ^^.
@super rats: Quite sad that it has come to that and I believe it will only get worst.

Societies have become sad with time… When you see a random elder it is not his/her past that is generally considered, but the fact that he/she is aged. The same would go with everything.
True courtesy (not the obligatory one you are dealt with when with your usual store clerk) is something that becomes rare nowadays… I do my best to help people like Setsuna-san and Choo said before me. I also will work as a volunteer in a non-governmental association (dedicated to the very elderly) this Spring and Summer, and this not only for my CV and experience, but also because I want to contribute to the society in the most honest way.
This is also why I have chosen my domain of studies, which is Social Work (I never could or would work in a different one).

And by the way… Sorry in advance, but you’re not being politically correct enough. General society euphemism says that you should not call them “crippled” but “physically challenged”. I know, it’s more or less major BS, but hey. ^^;

It's not because people are more rude. These days people are conditioned to not get involved with other people. People are very protective of their private space, so people respect that space by ignoring each other. super rats's last blog post..Pretty Slayer Akatsuki Mishiro

This is so true and very apparent here in the UK, I personally don't seem to fall into this category of people who ignore people when you should give up your seat or something similar, but that's probably all the years of private school. Asch's last blog post..Canon Rock
