The State Of Civility

At times I feel like the various forms of media are constantly bombarding us with images of children, teens, and adults behaving badly. The constant stream of quote unquote reality stars being themselves which is AKA for behaving badly should be appalling. I rarely have seen soundbites for reality stars being good natured, and civil, unless it has been court-ordered. Even though Simon Cowell may no longer hold the title of the most brazen, meanest, or nastiest judge on American Idol, there is no shortage of  followers spewing out unnecessarily foul, harsh, and off-kilter remarks in the direction of unassuming children and dreamers alike. Yes bad behavior sells, or so we have been told to believe. Sensationalism sells, but who denoted that bad behavior was the most desirable and most lucrative path to take?  Why isn't there a tv series or two regarding girls and boys behaving well and not badly? I am still hoping that civility is not dead nor a dying art form soon to be as antiquated as Ford's Edsel vehicles.
