" There is a need to teach Singaporeans how to be gracious. " Discuss.

Graciousness. Everyone would know what this word means, but do we know how to be (not act) the meaning of this word? Gracious, the root word of graciousness, means pleasantly kind, benevolent and courteous. Synonyms include friendly, polite, etc. Let me share with you my personal recount of ungracious behaviour. I would take the public transport home daily and most of the time, unfortunately, I would notice many ungracious behaviours. Once, I got onto a bus of crowded commuters. I would notice that commuters who've found seats, usually place bags on the seat next to them, be it just bags of books or anything else of that matter. The worst that they place on the seats are grocery bags, sometimes with milk cartons that are cold or wet groceries. It will affect the next person who sits on that seat. Surely, we humans need the seat more than grocery bags? Personally, I feel that Singaporeans need to be taught how to be gracious. In my essay, I will follow up my decision with agruments, associated with real life happenings, on why there's a need for graciousness to be taught to singaporeans. Finally, I will sum up my essay with a conclusion.
