 RESPECT
Respect is a feeling of admiration or deference toward a person, child,
non-human animal, group, ideal, or indeed almost any entity or
concept, as well as specific actions and conduct representative of that
esteem. Respect can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual
qualities of the one respected (e.g., "I have great respect for her
judgment"). It can also be conduct in accord with a specific ethic of
respect.
Some people earn the respect of individuals by assisting others or
playing important social roles. In many cultures, individuals are
considered to be worthy of respect until they prove otherwise.
Courtesies that show respect include simple words and phrases like
"thank you" in the West, simple physical gestures like a slight bow in
the East, a smile, or direct eye contact, or a simple handshake.

ownership for mistakes as well as achievements. Responsibility at

universe. As a person grows, matures, and becomes responsible,
he or she is no longer the center of the universe and must be
accountable and responsible for his or her own actions. A person

choices, and behaviors. Personal responsibility extends to the
corporate level in good business practice, as well.

 ETIQUETTE
Etiquette, in simpler words, is defined as good
behavior which distinguishes human beings
from animals.

important for him or her to behave in an
appropriate way. Etiquette refers to behaving in
a socially responsible way.
Etiquette refers to guidelines which
control the way a responsible individual
should behave in the society.

 THE NEED FOR ETIQUETTE
• Etiquette makes you a cultured individual who leaves his
or her mark wherever he or she goes.
• Etiquette teaches one the way to talk, walk and, most
importantly, behave in the society.
• Etiquette is essential for an everlasting first impression.
The way you interact with your superiors, parents, fellow
workers, friends speaks a lot about your personality and
up-bringing.
• Etiquette enables the individuals to earn respect and
appreciation in the society. No one would feel like talking
to a person who does not know how to speak or behave
in the society. Etiquette inculcates a feeling of trust and
loyalty in the individuals, because one is perceived as

why it important to apply the

 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANNERS AND MORALS
Morals are principles and beliefs concerning right and
wrong. For example, is it right or wrong to steal, to kill
someone, to betray someone for personal gain, or to
have an abortion?
Manners are the way we behave socially. If someone
has good manners, they are polite and observe social
customs. For example, giving up your seat to a woman
with a baby, or leaving the table to use your mobile
phone when dining with friends. If someone has bad
manners, they are impolite and don't observe these
customs. For example, spitting on the floor, or talking
with a mouth full of food: "He (or she) has the
manners of a pig!"

 WHAT ARE GOOD MANNERS?
Good manners are behaviors deemed polite or
respectful in a given culture. Saying "please" and
"thank you" are simple examples of good manners in
American culture.
Manners, rules of etiquette, or norms are often
divided into different categories. Good social manners
refer to a person's ability to interact with others in a
way that is respectful and appreciated. Looking
someone in the eyes in a conversation, waiting for a
turn to speak, listening actively and holding the door
are examples of basic social manners. (Continued to

 WHAT ARE GOOD
MANNERS? (CONTINUED)
Table manners or dinner etiquette include norms during sit-down
meals. Placing a napkin on the lap, sitting up straight, chewing with
a closed mouth, not belching or slurping and cutting meat with a
knife and fork are common examples of good table manners.
The business world has its own set of good manners and etiquette.
A guest should follow the lead of a host during a business meeting
or meal. Standing and offering a firm handshake and friendly smile
is an accepted way of meeting someone new in a professional
setting. Sending a thank-you note after meeting a prospect is also
proper. In a professional office, good manners include respecting
the space of colleagues and coworkers, maintaining a clean-
smelling environment and keeping a tidy workspace.

 WHAT ARE MORALS?
Honesty, respect for others, loyalty, responsibility for
personal actions, generosity, and kindness are all examples
of moral values. They are defined as the ideals and
principles that guide how people act.
Someone who is trustworthy, respectful, kind, and reliable
can be said to have good moral values. Moral values are
concepts that are based on an idea of right and wrong, and
moral values shape an individual's personality. A person's
moral values can come from a variety of sources, including
religion, cultural traditions, individual experiences, and
even laws or rules. For example, people who were
mistreated as children and have decided to donate time
and money to combat child abuse likely developed the
moral values of generosity and protectiveness from their
