Why does the world go round and round?

"I was pleasantly surprised by the change in manners and aspirations."

Could you just explain this more please? For my own curiosity.

Sorry Sn@kebite, I missed this in your reply a while ago.

What I mean is that in times past there were a lot more gougers about - I don't have to do that, the government should do that for me, I can go on strike any time I like, I am a worker and I deserve it - that sort of thing. People, particularly young people, these days seem more willing to just get on and work hard for a living.

In terms of manners, people minding their own business has to be top of my list. Many will say it's bad that there isn't a sense of community any more, but if community equals vicious gossip, rascism, sectarianism (oh yes, it existed in the south too!), clericalism &c. then you're welcome to it!
