35-Etiquette

Etiquette is a code that governs the expectations of social behavior, according to the conventional norm within a society, social class, or group. in a multi-ethnic society LIKE THE Unites States there are many clashing expectations. Thus, it is now possible to refer to "an etiquette" or "a culture", realizing that these may not be universal. Etiquette fundamentally prescribes and restricts the ways in which people interact with each other, and show their respect for other people. Etiquette instructs people to greet friends and acquaintances with warmth and respect, refrain from insults and prying curiosity, offer hospitality equally and generously to guests, wear clothing suited to the occasion, contribute to conversations without dominating them, offer assistance to those in need, eat neatly and quietly, avoid disturbing others with unnecessary noise, arrive promptly when expected, comfort the bereaved, and respond to invitations promptly. Etiquette varied by class. The higher the social class the etiquette is finely tuned. Some people consider etiquette to be an unnecessary restriction of freedom of personal expression; others consider such looseness to be unmannerly and rude. Etiquette is dependent on culture; what is excellent etiquette in one society may shock in another. Etiquette can vary widely between different cultures and nations. In China, a person who takes the last item of food from a common plate or bowl without first offering it to others at the table may be seen as a glutton and insulting the generosity of the host., whilst in most European cultures a guest is expected to eat all of the food given to them, as a compliment to the quality of the cooking. More strange among the Inuit, the man offers his wife to his guest to spend the night with as a proof of the warm welcoming. Even more recently, the rise of the Internet has necessitated the adaptation of existing rules of conduct to create Netiquette, which governs the drafting of email, rules for participating in an online forum, and so on.
