    Maybe not ‘good’ per say but it actually does make them civilized. Regardless of motivation, they are being polite/courteous, which is the definition of being civilized

      I’d argue that doing something because of peer pressure is different to being taught or learning to be considerate, so what looks like considerate behaviour from the outside, may just be e.g. avoidance of guilt/judgement. It doesn’t necessarily equate to being civilized.
