MODERN MANNERS
Etiquette-is a French word meaning rules of conduct,is

defined as politeness,thoughtfullness,good manners and
behaviour.It is behaving others as you would like to be
behaved with courtesy.It is being polite and kind.The golden
rule: Don’t treat someone else what you don’t treat
yourself!”Manners-are to be able to behave
well.Etiquette,manner,politeness are always needed in our
society.People had to learn to respect each other politely;at
home,in transport and elsewhere.Recently people rush to
work,to school and therefore many are tense.They are rude to
each other,do any wrongdoing without apology.And this
effects our society. If someone has shortage an understanding
of basic etiquette, he/she might feel uncomfortable in social
situations. With this discomfort, he/she might experience
embarrassment or timidity that puts him at a disadvantage
(cultural shock).
’’Pay attention your manners” is an expression many of us
heard while we were growing up. But depending on where
we’re from, those manners can vary greatly. And yes, there are
some ethics that everyone should use.For example;if we use
the words “I invite you”, then we have to pay the bill. But if
we use the phrase “Let’s go to a restaurant”, then everyone
pays their own way.We need wait until our hostess is seated
before our start eating. When she picks up her fork, so can we.
We must know the rules of etiquette and not only know
them,but also follow them.Let’s start with greetings, which is
the most important etiquette rule;we should always smile and
say hello when meeting people, if we are meeting for the first
time then we should introduce ourselves and make eye contact
when shaking hands.One of my favorite and favorite etiquette
rules which I love to do-we should always say”please” when
asking and “thank you” when getting help from others.We
should not get too close to people and always ask before
touching someone,then they will feel more comfortable
The ‘greeting’, which plays an important role in the rules of
etiquette, can change according to different cultures. Most of
us shake with our right hands, it would not be gived heed
terribly rude or unpleasent to extend the left hand in a
greeting. But in the Middle East, the rules of etiquette also
change according to time, the rules of politeness that were
relevant in the last century may seem ridiculous now.This is
quite an humiliation.In this culture, the hands have unique
functions.The right hand is used for eating, and the left hand
is used for wiping after using the bathroom. Knowing this, by
offering our left hand,even though clean, is related with an
act that is politeless
I’ve researched etiquette around the world to see how
different countries, terrains and continents vary from one
another. I wanted to determine just how strange some of our
customs are and what differences we have, what could be a
compliment in one place and potentially cause insult in
another.Let’s start with some Asian countries first. Asia has
some delightful etiquette practices when it comes to food and
dining. Although some fling the food that falls on the floor, it
is customary in Afghanistan to kiss the bread after touching it
as a sign of sacred respect. While religous customs are
common in some countries, others prefer superstitious rules.
Likewise, in the Middle East, it is customary to shake up the
coffee 2-3 times after finishing it in Qatar.
When it comes to South America, we can see a diversity of
different etiquette practices taking place across its many
countries. In many countries, a simple thumbs up can be
interpreted as a simple but kind “yes” or “ok”, however in
Argentina, this is the contrary. Using the thumbs-up sign or an
ok symbol with your hands is taken into consideration vulgar
rather than helpful. Elsewhere, how you greet and gesture to
people in public is something you should be mindful of when
in definite places.Panama and Nicaragua aren’t fans of
pointing in public, preferring that you pucker your lips in
someone’s direction when refering to them.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTES
As a student, now I want to talk about the etiquettes that we
should follow in the classroom.
1.Our professors, whether we love them, hate them, or are

indifferent, provide us with knowledge that the institution
deems appropriate and beneficial. When the professor enters
the room and we say “Good Morning,” “Good Afternoon” or
“Good Evening,” we offer them the courtesy of at least saying
it back.
2.We should not have private conversations in class, it can

distract other students
3.We need to thank-Gratitude actually promotes good self-

esteem. Something as simple.We should turn off our mobile
phones,it can distract other students from studying
4.W as thanking the person who holds the door, or our

professors and administrators for their time, can make their
day and improve the way us feel about ourselves.
5.We need send emails that are professional. It does not matter
if we are emailing a professor, university administrator, or
even another student from our class. Always we need to make
sure that we proofread our emails, we use the appropriate
titles, and that we use the correct tone. If we build this habit
correctly now, it will benefit us in the future when we have a
career.
SOCIAL ETIQUETTES
1.The elderly, handicapped, pregnant women, people
travelling with children, and those carrying heavy luggage, all
need our seat more than we do. Whether the seat we’re in is
marked as reserved or not, we should always offer it to
someone whom it will benefit more than us.
2.We shouldn’t litter, we shouldn’t leave our plates on the
table, we should not make a mess, it is vital to leave no trace
of us ever having been there, both for the environment and for
everyone’s continued enjoyment in the place. Additionally, if
we want to change anything that doesn’t belong to us, like the
chairs at a restaurant, we should always ask before we do, and
we should put it back as it was afterwards. It may be the
caretakers’ job to maintain the place, but it’s our responsibility
to not create additional work for them.
TABLE MANNER
Table manners are the rules of etiquette used while eating,
which may also include the appropriate use of utensils.
Different cultures observe different rules for table manners.
Table manner was introduced by the Europeans, then, it
becomes a standard rule, especially when dining together at a
formal event or in a family’s banquet events.
WE should know some table manners like these:
1.
•We should sit straight
•We shouldn’t speak with our mouth full of food
• We should chew quietly, and we shouldn’t try to slurp
• We have to keep bites small
• We should eat at a leisurely pace
• We should not wave utensils in the air
• We should keep our elbows off the table
• We shouldn’t forget to say please and thank you
• We should excuse ourselves when leaving the table
• We should wipe our mouth before drinking
Possesing good etiquette demonstrates respect for others and
their cultures, values and beliefs. By paying attention to the
feelings, beliefs, and values of others, we can create more
positive and harmonious relationships. By following these
etiquette rules, we show them our respect and make them feel
more comfortable.
