This cartoon vividly shows three aspects of a man. First, he pays great attention to his appearance because he checks his dress in a mirror before going out. Second, he enjoys lavish meals with fish, beer and so on. Third, he occupies a seat in the bus that is originally for the old even when he sees an old guy standing beside. Apparently, it reflects a social phenomenon that people value their dress and food more than their virtues.
As the title tells us that manners make the man, human can never emphasize the value of politeness too much. Manner is to man what sunshine is to flowers. Without manners, the society will become a total mess. For example, the old can't receive enough care as the cartoon shows.
In my opinion, great efforts should be made to uphold correct social values. For one thing, the government should strengthen avocations of behaving decently to raise the public's awareness. For another, teachers are supposed to instill correct values to students to help them build their characters at a young age.
