Good Manners

Manners:-

In sociology, manners are the unenforced standards of conduct which show the actor to be cultured, polite, and refined. They are like lawsin that they codify or set a standard for human behavior, but they are unlike laws in that there is no formal system for punishing transgressions, other than social disapproval. They are a kind of norm. What is considered "mannerly" is highly susceptible to change with time, geographical location, social stratum, occasion, and other factors. That manners matter is evidenced by the fact that large books have been written on the subject, advice columns frequently deal with questions of mannerly behavior, and that schools have existed for the sole purpose of teaching manners. A lady is a term frequently used for a woman who follows proper manners; the term gentleman is used as a male counterpart; though these terms are also often used for members of a particular social class.

Good Manners:-

In order to present a good impression to others, you need to act like you weren't raised in a barn! It is very difficult to deal with people that have no manners or have no concern for others. One of the biggest societal issues we face today is a general lack of respect for what has been taught in history in regards to human concern and compassion for those you do not know well.

"Good Manners" are indeed an increasingly archaic school of ideas and actions that display respect, care, and consideration. All humans have a basic right to help one another and feel positive about themselves and others around them. In our age of self-satisfaction, cell phone technology and instant internet gratification - it is sometimes hypothesized that we care more for our equipment and high tech gadgets than the very people they are made for.

If you don't have an etiquette resource, you should keep reading for more ideas. Consider picking up an etiquette book. There are many available. Some community colleges offer weekend lessons in etiquette and most are open to all ages. Taking a class is a great idea for teens, professionals or anyone looking to make a better impression.

If, instead, you would rather learn from real-world examples - study the positive effects of those who display good manners and how people react to and around them. It's basic common sense that everyone prefers to be treated with a reasonable amount of respect. If you nurture plants, animals, or other humans, not only will they grow and bloom - but you will as well. Outside of material goods - the basic things we all really own in life are ourselves and our actions.

Importance of Good Manners:-

'Manners make Man'. A person who is very considerate and courteous towards others is supposed to have good manners. Such a person generally is respected by others and is also respectful to his superiors, very courteous to his equals and also sympathetic towards his subordinates. He always shows concern and often sees for the well-being and comfort of others.

There is always a saying that 'First impression is the best impression'. When we meet a person for the first time, it is generally the person's manners which tend to impress us deeply. The manners which we learn in childhood are carried throughout our lives. Good manners are taught by our parents at home and by teachers at school. They tend to become a part and parcel of our personality. So it is very important that these manners are instilled in children when they are young so that they grow up to become more courteous, pleasant adults. Childhood is one of the best periods to learn good manners. It is quite important to have it cultivated in every mind during the childhood itself so that it does not depart.

Good manners cost us nothing but can buy everything. They help us to win friends and also conquer our enemies. They tend to make the world a happier place to live in by reducing friction and avoiding tension. Practically in any mode of life, good manners helps us a lot, may be in business or service or education or any part of life. In business or service, one comes across lot of people or one may term it as lot of customers. In today's world, the world of internet, customer is the king. Speaking politely and keeping our commitment helps to bring in lot of customers. Good manners help a lot and more customers means more business.

Everyone likes a person who speaks and behaves politely and treat others respectfully. Such a person is always ready to understand other people and tries to be helpful to them. He forgets and forgives the wrongs others have done to him.

Hence it is very important to emphasize on good manners and it is to be cultivated right from childhood.

    What a nice lesson! Will be nice if these instruccions we could applied in eveywhere and with evybody, irrespective, without taking advantage of the position we have in a time in our lives. Personally, I believe the good manners comes from inside(from the good heart), it is just not external,to appear in front of others. This will be nice to cultivated right from childhood, also. Thank you very much!
