Civilisation..What's that??!!

Living in eight biggest metropoliton city in the world whre the population is 12,5 million, i learnt a lot of things about life.
One of which is about the need of civilisation in the people of my country.
Being in the 21st century, in the year 2010, its really a sad situation that there is literally 'zero' civic sense amoung the people out here.
Im not making any conclusions about the majority here, but this is just a perspective of a person working in a hospital, using public transport on a daily basis. Well.. basically having to deal with the public of the city where ever i go!!
An exapmle of the metro for now...
We have been taught to offer our seat to elderly, children and pregnant ladies. We have heard this like a million times even while we travel on the recorded tape which is on repeat mode for like every 5 minutes but the men out here dont have this courtesy. They are way too selfish to offer a seat.
Another one from the metro...
While my station is just a min away, i prefer to walk towards the door so i dont get stuck inside by the huge crowd bombarding in! There have been times when the passengers wanting to get outside are unable to get out due to the impatient public on the station wanting to get in first even before letting us outside. (As if there is free food which they will miss if they dont get in first!!) I still dont understand what's the hurry???!! The metro is not going to shut doors without notice and there is enough time to get in without punching and hitting the other poor people trying to travel in peace.
People here dont have the decency to use the words 'excuse me', the prefer hitting you with their elbows and pushing you instead.
The condition in the public buses is even more horrifying. I shouldnt even start talking about it!
We also see the ones owning cars behaving no less better. They park their car right in the middle of the road, blocking the entire lane behind causing inconvinience to many. But not 1% of sensibilty to park at the designated areas.
So its not just the poor but also the rich who behave like uneducated. This is really sad and we cant expect everyone to behave in a civilised manner.
People are aware about this but they take pride in hurting the other as if they won some medal. They take pride in the fact they own a car and can park it on any road they want.
The attitude itself is completely wrong and even if 1 changes, it'll make no difference as to survive in this city, u sadly have to become like them. Uncivilised.
