The Importance of Etiquette Introduction Some people argue that etiquette no longer matters, that the rules for good behaviour are old-fashioned and out of date. However, good behaviour and manners are never out of style. Etiquette, like all other cultural behaviours, evolves to match the times. Without etiquette, members of society would show far too much impatience and disrespect for one another, which would lead to insults, dishonesty, cheating, road rage, fist fights, and a rash of other unfortunate incidents. #kindgesture #etiquette Etiquette is merely a set of guidelines for politeness and good manners, the kindnesses with which we should always treat each other. It will always matter! Etiquette in Today's Society Today's etiquette serves several important functions: · Etiquette provides personal security. Knowing how to behave appropriately in a given situation makes you more comfortable. · It protects the feelings of others. Proper etiquette requires that you make others comfortable and protect their feelings. You do not point out their errors or draw attention to their mistakes. · It makes communication clearer. Etiquette enhances communication by breaking down barriers, not erecting them. · It will enhance your status at work. In any working situation, you are perceived as more capable, more professional, and more intelligent if you are familiar with the proper code of conduct for the workplace. · It makes good first impressions. The first five to seven seconds after you meet someone are crucial. Your first impression lingers in the other person's mind long after you are gone. If you use proper etiquette, that first impression will be a positive one. Society and our culture are now changing so fast that it is hard for the rules of etiquette to keep up.
