3. Do you think people should be polite?
(Why?) Having polite manners is a huge part of the society because a lot of people do not have good manners and it could ruin a relationship. If you practice good manners, you'll notice that people respond much better to you. They'll listen to what you say and won't feel put off by your bad manners.
