What is even less common these days is self-reliance.
Here's a really basic way to know if somebody is well bred: ask them for something. If they say "absolutely, have my pen" or "not a problem, work in your set" or "of course you can have the last donut" you can tell they have been well bred.

If instead they whine about "me first" and "self reliance" you can be rather sure they attended a terrible school.
