@@GTA5Player1 I happen to know it wasn't propaganda considering my living grandmother who lived in that time and did those things in the video and taught my mom who also taught me those good habits, but okay. And even if it was propaganda, wouldnt be a good thing to teach us these things anyway?
It's designed to be funny because it subverts what we expect about people in functioning society, but now the novel idea has become so mainstream that it's evolved to something mean-spirited, and now the young people are emulating this behavior. Access to the Internet at yet younger ages means kids watching TikToks full of bad language, sexual degeneracy and overpoliticized narcissism, which becomes "reality" to these children. Imagine how they will turn out? We're already seeing how some kids who grew up watching all the Elsagate RU-vid videos in 2015-2016 have developed strange paraphilias.
@@jamesb.russell2942 It's specifically designed to engineer your behavior for destruction, to self and others. Not just the fictional characters but the anchors and personalities. When I was a child in the 80s the news anchors dressed for the season, wore their makeup in a professional manner and spoke very professionally. Now you have the likes of O'Reilly, Nancy Grace cutting people's mics off and flaring their nostrils. Robin Meade wearing her lip gloss like a centerfold and those pageant girls they hire to read the prompters on Fox are a joke. Society did not become what it is by accident. We have been conditioned like Pavlovian dogs.
@iknow2145 You are much older than myself and I never watch old news segments but I've seen old movies and TV shows, and it's a different world. The modern world has embraced ugliness and imperfection, coinciding with the cultural downfall of faith as a societal virtue, meaning less of a drive towards beauty and the divine. Now, everyone is perfect as they are. Everyone is the god of their own personal reality, equally as correct and righteous and wonderful. I'm old enough to have seen the Lord of the Rings movies in theaters as a small child, so I remember what culture was like not longer ago cuz it was fairly recent. The media has gone over the cliff at an exponential rate in the last 10 years. So much of it is now hideous and crude and spiteful, with few exceptions. Don't anyone kid themselves; it's all a deliberate project.
If you are taught good manners from early childhood it becomes automatic- a reflex. It actually becomes difficult to NOT be polite. In the end the polite person benefits from it in so many ways- love, friendship, employment, better service, etc. They gain much more than they give.
@@kindnessfirst9670Exactly sometimes how old your parents are too if they had you when they were 20 for eg they might not teach you as good manners as if your parents have you in their 30s or 40s.
@@msenlightened Yes I know, and it's a crying shame! If parents have to rely on videos to teach their children from right and wrong, they have NO business being parents! Smh. 🤦♀️
It's a pet peeve of mine when ppl don't say bye when hanging up the phone. Or at least something like "peace" or some type of closing phrase. It's just brash to me to just hang up without it
A friend moved to America from abroad and thought we never said goodbye when hanging up the phone because so many movies show Americans just ending the call without a word 😄
It doesn't matter what comments I read I keep a smile on my face and I don't know when they're being sarcastic. There is something to be learned in everything and I actually enjoy these videos 😐 so I'm glad they posted them good job👍😘
@@barbaracrickley6191 News flash.. it really isn’t the ‘50s anymore. My family member is a woman who is a piercer, with beautiful tattoos and makes over 6 figures. 🥰 Nothing wrong with tattoos. I am glad one thing has changed, the double standard. It was quite despicable.
It’s crazy to think the older people in the film in 1953, could’ve been born in the 1890’s..and lived before cars were invented and then widely accessible!
Or even in the 1880s! People over 70 go back to the 1880s or even earlier. Man, it would be something to see what their world was like when they were children! My grandmother on my mother's side was born in 1882 and got married in 1912!!
Another vital element of being well mannered is courteously making yourself understood, explaining what you meant when others don't fully understand you on the first try. It is very rude and aggressive to get mad at them and behave badly because you weren't clear. That's putting the responsibility on others for your lack of articulate communication. We aren't mindreaders; people need to be courteous, respectful and clear. If they aren't, but instead behave badly, they aren't worth being around.
Very true. Some kids today also love to use a whole new set of vocabulary and act like everyone understands what they're talking about. Usually it's invented words that are learned from Tumblr, TikTok and niche university classes about sociology. Sometimes they use it expressly because of its esoteric nature to try to appear smart. It's like an in-joke that's gone wrong. In-joke humor has exploded with the prevalence of internet memes, too. It all feeds into their narcissism.
I think I read in Emily Post's book way back, manners are about preventing problems or harm, and showing consideration instead of selfish non-concern. In all practicality then, it is better for the man to walk down the stairs in front of the lady, in case either slip, the man can catch/shield/prevent her from falling, or if the man slips, he's not going to bowl her over and crush her. Going up the stairs, ladies first. Going down the stairs man first. In Germany tradition is for the man to enter a room first especially if it is an unfamiliar place. again to be her shield in case of danger inside.
Growing up in CA thru the 60's & 70's I saw how these courtesies and manners were going away! At home I was taught these things, but the hardness of life in CA made me forget them. Since my hubby & I have left CA, we've started traveling around & was reminded very much of the old ways / manners when we arrived in Texas and a 10 year old boy opened the door for both of us and said ma'am and sir! We've both have regained our manners & such, especially since we've settled down in Kentucky! The manners really come out around here and the thoughtfulness makes life more enjoyable!!
Hello I know it’s late to comment but I just started to watch these I was born in 1955 to a big Italian family and my mother taught all of us (4 boys in a row 🤪) to be gentleman I still use ma’am and sir and occasionally get a chuckle from a young sales clerk Good manners served me well and my ex- wife who was southern taught all three of our sons those manners My daughters in law often lovingly thank me 😊

It really has went downhill and thats an understatement. I wish I could live back when people were polite respectful and classy. Unfortunately it will only get worse. Weve steadily declined decade by decade. God help us in the future
Literally all 50s families have one son and one daughter, parents approaching retirement age and a rigid schedule according to these short films. Still loving it!
Good manners are lacking today among many people. It's a sad reality we live in now. I am happy to know that I keep my good manners. It's natural and easy for me.
I actually took all the videos and came up with 12 resolutions that I kept for a year. I’ll never go back to the way I was. Life changing!!!! I went from hell to heaven in less than a day!
When people take the time to learn about and practice good manners the world is made that much better. Anyone can become a model of good manners, anywhere, any time.
This video on manners is great. Thanks for posting this video. I am recommending these videos to my students who are learning English conversation. The language is clear and understandable. The language used in the videos are great example of standard American (?) English. Of course, the values that make these good manners possible greatly encourage anyone.
I wish we saw these values all around us the way I did when I was young. The English language without proper courtesy to accompany it, is still wholly insufficient.
I did. Women were respected; men held the doors for us. People said thank you and please. But you can start a trend by bringing manners back to your world!
One other tip. Older people, in general, really like polite young people. If you are polite and respectful, it will not only help the world, but it will get you far in life!
I was raised to have manners like this. To this day I say please, thank you, hold doors, etc. I get plenty of strange looks and people accuse me of bring phony or sucking up to people. Sad. To this day I don't tell off color jokes or swear in front of women.
You seem like a very considerate gentleman. Men like you make me want to be more lady-like, especially in days like this where modest femininity isn’t embraced by many women.
@@tj921able Because it’s stupid to let simple words have such power over you. If I’m in public and I hear someone cuss or something I don’t say anything or draw attention to myself. Because end of the day they grown idc. I didn’t raise them lol. So I’ll cap it with this. Quit worrying about what other people FUCKING do.
Once I was calling for a job and was hired over the phone, later I heard the boss say that I had such good phone mannerism he knew I would be a good hire!
The only problem I personally faced is that, some/most people take your manners as granted/weaknesses and like to create intimidation in so many ways. Perhaps why keeping your circle limited is a must these days.
You don’t need to be weak or lame, in order to have manners and class. Notice how the boy is confidently talking to the two girls, who like him back- but he’s doing it and a respectful end courteous way.
@sara jev He knows the truth, he just chooses to remain ignorant of the fact. But it's okay, like they do women, children and every kind of minority, they can just demand they were happier under their reign of terror. They know what's best for you and what you are feeling and thinking...and what you're thinking is to submit to them. Happiness awaits. 🙄

I think we just need a little more awareness of our impact on others. We’re more self involved these days. It’s not difficult, a little effort goes a long way. We should watch this to be reminded of that.
Some of these old educational films need to be shown in school. It's all solid advice shown in an entertaining and easy to follow way. Lots of people could learn from them and just because they're old doesn't mean they've lost their value.
Gene/ Jean looks like my aunt, Norma. Aunt Norma is the most '50s woman' I've ever met. She doesn't know what vintage is or what the fashion of the fifties is (she's from a really rural part of Mexico) but she makes all her clothes and they all look like fifties outfits. She's soft voiced, gentle, and has great manners. It's perplexing.
I would like to start using these pleasantries around everybody and laugh inside when they are dumbfounded as to “what a pleasant person she is”. In fact, I believe if I do it enough it will become natural and then I really will be a pleasant person to be around. How about that!
I see comments on these videos like “I can’t stop watching this I don’t know why lol!” And I have an answer, I know why. It’s because we wish people acted like this today!
"Should Jack get off first?" "Yes, and he can give the ladies a hand." Lmao

Courtesy and respect are timeless. One thing I was taught that was missed here, is that you should lead when descending steps, and your respected other should lead when ascending - the reason being if the respected other stumbles or falls, you can offer some assistance and break the fall. I still do this, especially for my frail mum.
@@geococcyx7543 Look up “why don’t you move to Japan and complain about their happy all-Asian society”. Seems like our biggest problem was letting y’all in at all! Y’all hate us, and you won’t be happy until we die, will you?
I unashamedly say I'm using these videos to get/brainwash my daughters to want to behave in a way suited for human dwellings.... 👌 And just saying, my 7yo put on a pair of pyjamas and actually brushed her hair the other night! 🏆
Oh how much we need more of these. That’s why I never put in broken bottom a boomer’s advice or constructive criticism regarding manners and or finances!

@ 7:55 Ah! The rating system! My girlfriends and I always did this: + 2 for being cute, naturally -2 for being cute, artificially + 9 for clever, original opening line -5 for predictable, uninteresting opening line +10 for looking awesome in a suit +9 for OWNING a suit ...and so on. Categories and scoring can be improvised as needed. (Great fun.) Jack just earned a +10 for having manners in spite of possible peer pressure. S - W - O - O - N.
@@marcopolo9146 maybe - but that's why we girls did it without telling the guys...(and if you missed it, I said it was all just "great fun") It was a "girl thing," marcopolo9146, don't get all bent out of shape about it. BTW, for your "degrading and demeaning" comment and thin skin, you've earned a -10...😂
I grew up knowing/learning many of these basic lessons (sometimes it rubbed off on the person I was dating). The one I married didn’t take much “polishing” but is now *always* the best escort for young and old alike. It is so refreshing to see a person of any age display the basic courtesies.
@OLDTIMETV I appreciate all your short videos & all the great reminders... Thank you for all you do... Let's try our best like the movie said... ti take it from here at the end... ✌😇🙏
@@cacatr4495 really! Please go away and place your head in a vice until you become a less vile pathetic piece of rubbish. Thank you so much....manners are important....obviously your the person you speak of.
I was a typical child in the fifties and if I had pulled out the chair for my mother at the dinner table she would have checked it for a tack or whoopie cushion.
from a storytelling point of view, the focus is on Jack. Adding more names would be confusing. What's the name of his dad? In real life, would his parents keep calling him Jack? Nope. This could be a fever dream Jack is having.
9:15: If I went to someone's house and the brother and sister were speaking to each other like that I would leave, immediately because I would figure there are probably some corpses hidden in the basement or something.
Carlinda I am not only seeing these manners, I still live them, as you do. And, remind people of their lack of manners, as diplomatically as I can. Why isn't this tutorial part of our educational curriculum? Manners are ageless, unless you have the millennial generation that feel entitled to " reinvent the wheel." However, Generation X, are their parents. Where did they give up? Once we can replace , "Have a good one," with, "Your Welcome," "Good Morning," Good Afternoon," "Good Evening," or less "formal," Have a good day, " Have a nice night," When we eliminate ,"No problem" and "Whatever,"( which really is modern day) "F you," then we will return to civility, which really means kindness and respect.
@Linda: It's the models we have today. Look at the rock stars - how terribly they behave! Or our politicians, how they betray the people unpunishedly. Even religious people have perpetrated crimes against little children. One has to decide for himself whether he follows these patterns, no matter what the surrounding people do.
@ 5:07 Nice municipal bus line! Comparing it to Reno's RTC in my mind...all in all about the same type of passengers, but I think I prefer this bus; the kind you could still open a window and the bumpy seats look like fun.
