Ellen A. Kaye as featured in . . . Saving Grace By Margaret Goerig August 22, 2004 “. . . But according to Scottsdale, Az., author and etiquette coach Ellen A. Kaye, it’s also about how you speak, look and act, which she addresses in her book, “Maximize Your Presentation Skills.” That is, if you want to get to the top, where the manners are. “Society’s rules and standards of behavior used to come down from the king or queen. The upper class had good manners,” she says. “Now with the advent of TV and channels like VH1 and MTV, manners and behaviors are being dictated from the streets.” That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t learn from everybody, Kaye says, but it does mean that we’re losing out. Kids no longer read or even watch quality programming on TV. Any widespread knowledge of history and other points of classic cultural interest is being replaced by the latest celebrity gossip. Even the A&E Channel, which Kaye says she used to hold in high regard, has starting running biographies of Hollywood figures and crime families in place of important people who contribute to the betterment of our world. “The gentleman is gone,” says Kaye. “It’s the ‘hey, yo, busta.’ It’s these people who are now ruling the culture. . .” ___________________ Ellen A.
