Would you wear flip-flops to a White House meeting? Is it okay to send a formal thank-you note by e-mail or even instant message? Those who say no may say these examples indicate the decline of civilized society, while those who say yes may simply think manners and etiquette are changing with evolving technology and societal mores. Join our panelists in a discussion about whether young people have lost their manners or just have adapted them for the 21st century.
