How come that nowadays good manners are a very rare feature to find in people?

manners are rules of social conduct and people can perform them regardless how they feel or without sincerity. Many unkind people are polite to a fault and many gruff people are very kind.
 
Many people tell me jokingly that I was born in the wrong century because of my kind ways; I actually started to believe it might be true because unfortunately the world is full of unkind people. I wonder why there are only very few people who still behave in a good way; what's so difficult in saying "Thank you", "You're welcome", "Good morning", "Please", or in speaking in a nice and kind way without cursing/insulting other people? What happened to good ways? Why are they considered by the most to be out of fashion? Is it because parents do not teach them anymore to their children?...Whatever the reason, I find the situation very sad as for me the most important thing about relating to other people are good ways.Someone said " Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use."...You agree?
