Jamaican Etiquette Coach - Howdy!

A house is just a physical building. A home has rules, structure and people who love, support and protect each other.

The standard Jamaican family unit seem to be fast dwindling particularly among the low to middle class citizens.

 Parents are the biggest culprits where the social and cultural decay and regression of Jamaica are concerned. Parents who do not raise their children well. Parents who set low to no standards and are poor examples for their children to follow. Parents who have armed their children with zero to weak life and social skills. 

Too many Jamaican women have been irresponsible even callous in their singular major role of bringing life and taking full charge of their reproductive health. Equally, too many of Jamaica's males have checked out, they have failed to take their rightful place in the home and in society. We need strong masculine men to head families, shape communities, build the country. It's about time we hold real men accountable - weak, irresponsible, lazy, coward, low character males should have no credible place in any society. Women who allow such males to "father" their children ought to be ashamed! What are you teaching your children? Where are your values, principles, standards? Stop normalising uncouth/dregs lifestyle, comportment, utterances etc. IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!  

Let's be candid. Jamaica's inept politicians (on both sides) have for decades sat comfortably with feet crossed and arms folded as the country is reduced to a daily active crime scene, paired with social and cultural denigration. Jamaica's elected officials have watched passively as citizens literally waste away. The officials are too busy enriching themselves, ensuring that their children are set for life and those in their social circle get a piece of the tainted pie. The members of Gordon House CAN make Jamaica better, but they have selfishly opted not to. They can pass laws, they can finance the various means by which social and cultural values can be promoted, rewarded and normalized. They can add subjects to the school curriculum as a standard part of the Jamaican education system which will essentially force the nation's children to learn about their civic duties to include high social/cultural values/practices and for all Jamaicans to have a full understanding and appreciation of the tenets of a true democracy. Jamaican politicians have for decades benefitted significantly from the ignorance of the average Jamaican. This must change now!!

My desire to see a better/courteous Jamaica is not a recent occurrence. The book (pictured above was written in 2014) is transformational, and I would love to get it in the hands of as many Jamaicans as is possible. 

Has it occurred to you that many Jamaicans simply do not know better? Hence, they act out of ignorance. Such persons have been deprived of basic social and cultural socialization in their homes which is supposed to teach them to be rounded, balanced citizens. They then look to the community but that's futile and the public-school system is otherwise focused.

-Decency/Respect

-Decorum/ Ambition

-Education/ Kindness
