People in the world have different manners that guide them in their day-to-day activities. We will look at their behaviors from how they greet people to how they eat when others are around. The psychology of humans is placed in a way that people do not intentionally wake up and just become rude to other persons. Even so, anxiety and haste makes us not to consider basic manners and etiquette that can land us into great problems. At times, we tend to ignore being kind to strangers since we are not familiar with them, or they do not know us.

Not only is it imperative to understand the art of good manners but also the importance of applying them intentionally in our day-to-day lives. Courtesy is one simple action that can help us avoid lots of embarrassing moments.

To start with in this generation courtesy is changing because of the technological advancement that the world is experiencing in every sector. Sociocultural factors that use to affect how people relate are slowly eroding away, and people are adopting new ways of relating with their colleagues depending on the information they get on the internet.

All the same, we ought to be courageous and continuously take on virtues like kindness, respect, honesty, and consideration. There are customs that ought to be transferred from one generation to another and is to be passed by adults to their children.

Teaching by example is always the key for great lessons that remain rooted in a person for many years. The children should see their parents practicing these virtues so that they can adopt them as a way of life as they grow up. As a result, they will use the mannerisms every day even without thinking. Courtesy begins with how you greet other people whether you know them or you don't.

Showing gratitude all the time and making requests politely should also be practiced. They are simple behaviors that aid in forming great relationships between individuals in our societies. It happens this way because our actions will always have an effect on somebody else. And, as a result, we should purpose to consider other individuals when dealing with them and avoid being self-centered.

We should never overlook etiquette and good manners in our lives. Ignoring them, will lead to building a bad reputation that might take ages to rebuild. When you get into a room, try to be respectful to those you get in the room. They are simple things but greatly affect how individuals think about you. Your choice of dressing also matters; some people may be offended by you wearing very short clothing that exposes a great part of your body.

Lastly, if your friend invites you to their place, ensure you do not lengthen your visit to avoid being a burden to them. Some may not tell you exactly how they feel and so it is your responsibility to do the right thing. Moreover, some of these mannerisms do not need learning and being taught, just a use of your souls and mind can also lead you to do what the society require of you.
