Etiquette. Unit 5

Etiquette-protocol is of great importance, because it gives us rules of formal education like professional future. From my point of view the practice of the protocol is extremely important since we must respect others because we live in community. And that is the difference between the good and bad customs or habits.

If you practice the following you have good habits:

When you enter a service business and the people at the counter smile, make eye contact and reach out to shake your hand.

Etiquette dictates that the hands should meet near the thumbs of each other's hands with palms touching, and the shake must be firm but not crushing.

Don't ever speak of bodily functions, such as using the bathroom or telling rude jokes. Even in casual conversation, this indicates immaturity and often makes bad impressions.

Using the terms 'Thank you', 'Please', and 'You're welcome' indicates good manners. People lacking in manners avoid these terms.

Hold open a door for anyone, male or female, following you closely. This is good manners and will never change.

If you need to use the phone, excuse yourself outside or to a quiet room/hallway.

This I feel is of great importance and few people practice it:

Always respect all elders, and listen to them and learn. They have been around more, and can teach you plenty.

Good manners demonstrate high standards of conduct, propriety and esteem; it tells the world you value yourself and acknowledge that you share the world with others.
