My grandmother taught me that “there is no excuse for bad manners,” and I have taken this little piece of wisdom with me throughout life. People in today's world seem to have thrown away manners and have forgotten that common decency, basic kindness, concern, respect and courtesy can not only open doors of opportunity, it literally defines their character. Ethics and morality is not just about big things – it's about the small things: the details of life. Morris calls this the “conditions under which people can be their best and do their best” (Morris p. 122). Treating people with

One individual who believes civility is very significant is P. M. Forni, who wrote the essay, “What is Civility?” to validate his opinion. As a teacher, Forni believes when teachers choose not to teach their students basic civility components, they are failing and that his students should be kind people when it comes to other peoples’ feelings. Also, he believes teaching his students civility is very important and only a positive outcome for them. He first gives each of his students the opportunity during a workshop, to state what they believe civility is and some gave answers like care, consideration, justice, tolerance, etiquette, and tact (Forni 455). He states that doing even the simplest things like saying “please” and “thank you”, and

It shows respect to other people and a lack of manners is often interpreted as a lack of respect. Manners will influence on children’s behaviour therefore practitioners will need to be good role models.

The first idea of proper ways to act were believed to be inherited from Greece and Rome. The original idea of etiquette derives from when people started to live together in large groups and little things made people realize that getting along was better and easier than fighting and arguing constantly. The word “etiquette” originates from King Louis XIV. He would have a letter posted on a door to inform guests of what they were to wear, how they

People are greedy, only seeing their needs without thinking about the needs of others. Society has always looked at, the more fortunate to be more proper and deserving. In an attempt we for equalization we fail because we demand equal treatment deeming us rude and even less proper. Remember how your mom always said “life is unfair” warning us then spanking our behinds for the fit thrown in the store. The fit of outrage because she told you “no” only thinking of our feelings at the time and not caring how much we just embarrassed our mother. The problem is that "Many people just don't think about how their behavior affects anyone else. It's me, not we,” states Alex Packer. (Rude!) We want what we want and are willing to leave a wake of destruction

People will bump you without saying excuse me. You can hold the door for someone and they will look at you without saying thank you. I know there are some people that do not say thank you just because people are not saying thank you to them. That is not a reason to be rude to others just because someone was rude to you. 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

How do you feel when you hold the door for a wave of people coming into the school and not a single one of them say thank you? When you are in a great mood and say good morning to someone passing and instead of saying it back they say something snarky. Not good, right? You would be annoyed and snap at somebody else. And the cycle continues. This is how the world is now! For as long as I can remember we have been taught things like “treat people how you want to be treated” ,“ respect your elders”, “ be nice to people”. But when you think about it, are really kids like this nowadays? The world is full of rude people everywhere, who have no deference. How did this come about let's find out.

If they follow the simple rules there would be more friendly people. How hard is it to say sorry, please, and thank you? Saying these words would make you seem nice to people. Making you more approachable and letting you help more people. Even making their day better. While saying these things put a smile on and be more friendly. This

Being rude is the latest craze...it seems like rudeness has become an epidemic. I often say good morning to my neighbor and he always replies…”what’s so good about it?” If someone were to bottle rudeness, he or she would become a millionaire overnight. Rude people are everywhere! They are in the grocery stores, the schools, in restaurants, and even in my household. Nowadays, it is hard to get away from rude people because it pays to be rude; rudeness is used for humor, a sense of superiority, and over-all entertainment.

Along with manners come a child’s level of laziness and intensity, because of this children are able to persevere through hard times and find ways to step it up when they mature. As a child my parents raised me to the best of their ability and I would say 100% they did a great job and I’m sure others would agree. I was taught to be hard working versatile person who would go to the extreme for a family member, God, or a job, and because of this I had grown up doing all of these to make my life as good as I could get it. Everyone knows that when a person gets older they are given responsibilities they have

However, we should pay attention to our manners, utilize our communication skills; and on the bottom line, we need to avoid intentionally hurting people.
