Paragraph
Etiquette manner:
Man is a social animal. So following
social code of behavior is important for living in the society. These
are called social behavior. We have two terms to describe our social
behavior - etiquette and manners. Etiquette is a French word. It is a
set of rules dealing with exterior form. Manners are an expression of
inner character. Rules of etiquette are the guiding codes that enable us
to practice manners. Manner is considered to be polite in a particular
society or culture. Manners can be good or bad. For example, it is a bad
manner to speak with food in one's mouth. No one likes a bad-mannered
person. Etiquette and manners vary from culture to culture and from
society to society. The best place to learn manners and etiquette is the
home where the child spends most of its time. Besides home, we also
learn etiquette and manners from various institutions, such as schools,
colleges or professional bodies. Again, there are rules of behavior for
all kinds of social occasions and it is important to learn them and
practice them in everyday life. The manners that are correct in a
wedding reception will not do in a debating club. Therefore, we have to
be careful about etiquette and manners. A few polite expressions such as
'pardon me', 'excuse me', 'may I' can make our day smooth and pleasant.
Although they do not cost anything, they bring us valuable gains. They
enhance the pleasure of life. One can win over even the enemy if he
presents good manners. Good manners and etiquette are the key to
success.
