Etiquette Introduction When it comes to etiquette in social situations there is one universally accepted way of doing things, and that is by following Emily Post's advice. Emily Post was born in 1873, she was home schooled and later attending a "finishing school" in New York City. After her education she wrote several books, including her iconic book called Etiquette. This paper references several proper examples of etiquette from Post, several examples of good etiquette when using digital technologies, and presents etiquette for children by Oprah Winfrey. Emily Post reveals how to introduce someone in an informal situation: "Mrs. Jones, may I present Mr. Smith?" Notice the word "present" was used, not "introduce." A gentleman is always presented to a lady (not the other way around), and the way to offer a brief introduction is "Mr. Blackstone, Mr. Davis" with the more important of the two names given a bit more accentuation. When to shake hands is explained by Post: a) two men always shake hands when introduced; b) but when a man is introduced to a lady, he only shakes her hand if she offers it; c) if a man puts out his hand to the lady, she will be seen as gracious and poised if she shakes it (Post, p. 10). When introduced to someone, the correct formal greeting is "How do you do?" But if the two people have mutual friends and the man has heard of the lady before, he may say, "I am delighted to meet you at last" or "I am very glad to meet you" (Post, p. 18). A
Technology has changed Americas manners, but with so many negative effects, people are trying to bring simple technology etiquette out of the past and into the present. The article "Is Anything Wrong With This Picture" by Lauren Tarshis and Kristin Lewis, and the article "How the Telephone Made America Rude" by scholastic, explain measures that were taken to bring politeness back into America. The author tries to explain how people get injured because of poor technology etiquette. The article states that poor behavior can land people in the hospital or worse. In 2014, more than 2,500 people were sent to the emergency room sue to using their phones (Tarshis and Lewis 25). By describing the effect that phones can have on people, if not used with caution, this helps prove the point that good phone manners and etiquette can help you and others stay out of the emergency room. In attempt to give what would now be considered common knowledge, to people who have just gotten brand new telephones, people have written guides explaining simple telephone etiquette. Some of the tips included, "If the person you are calling does not answer right away, let the telephone ring for at least a minute. He or she may be in another part of the house or outside," ( How the Telephone Made America Rude 27). Another tip was, "Men, keep your beards and mustaches out of the mouthpiece," (How the Telephone Made America Rude 27). What would know be known as basic knowledge, in the past was not common. These guides and articles tried to help familiarize the public with simple etiquette, so people were not rude to one another. Based off the evidence, authors explained negative side effects of not using technology politely, and wrote guides including tips on how to use good manners and etiquette while talking on the

Hola fellow classmates. I am Michelle and look forward to working with all of you over the next 8 weeks. My area of study is in accounting and delighted to finally learn Spanish. I currently reside in gloomy Ohio and look forward to moving south after my daughter finishes this year of school. Learning the Spanish language is going to be truly helpful in communicating once I move to Florida. Unfortunately, I cannot recall a time that I have experienced a different cultural introduction.
