TEXTUAL PARAGRAPHS FOR HSC(class 11-12) STUDENTS
ETIQUETTE &MANNERS
Good etiquette and manners are a socially recognized and
acceptable way of displaying consideration, care and respect towards others.
From our very childhood; we learn the lesson of being good-mannered and
well-behaved. This quality is something that comes to us through tradition and
culture. We learn the lesson as to how to behave in front of an outsider. We
also get the lesson of how to approach an elder, to bé quiet when our seniors
speak and show proper respect to them. Another important teaching that we get
is that we should always fóllow the rules of behaviour no matter where we are.
The two most important terms of social behaviour are etiquette and manners. The
word 'etiquette' comes from a French word meaning the rules of correct
behaviour in society whereas the word 'manners' means the behaviour that is
thought to be polite in a particular society or culture. Manners can be either
bad or good. Ill-mannered persons are despised by all. Etiquette and manners
vary from culture to culture and society to society.We learn etiquette and
manners from our parents, families and varióus institutions. There are rules of
behaviour for all kinds of social occasions. We should learn and practise these
rules on a regular basis. And most importantly, we should follow the rules of
behaviour in our day-to-day life. A person's character and upbringing is known
by his etiquette and manners.
