Schools are children’s second home. A child either learns different moral values from his home or from his school. These days with more and more family going nuclear and both the parents working a child rarely gets the opportunity to learn moral and social values from home.
Earlier even if parents were working, we saw grandparents taking care of grand children and teaching them important lessons of life, but this is no longer prevalent as more and more families are going nuclear. Thus, the only way we can ensure our future generation to learn etiquettes, all the social and moral values is by schools.
“The high point of civilization is that you can hate me and I can hate you but we develop an etiquette that allows us to deal with each other because if we acted solely upon our impulse we’d probably go to war”. – Stanley Crouch
Etiquette and mannerism have been taught since ages. Many times we are asked to behave graciously. Ever since childhood days hundreds of times we were interrupted by others and asked to sit properly, eat properly, talk properly etc. These taunts did not end until and unless we mastered all this mannerism.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
We can ensure a happy and peaceful life by the way of implementing all the etiquette as a habit. Using etiquette as a habit not only makes us feel good but also increases our importance and respect in the eyes of others.
First impression is the last impression, and if you behave like a gentleman with proper etiquettes your impression can never go wrong. This is the reason many institutes are providing courses on etiquette.
Imagine if schools starts teaching children etiquettes on early age. This will have a huge impact in their life, it will not only help a child to live in harmony but will also make him feel better in life, as where ever he goes he will be greeted with love and respect because of his etiquettes.
Etiquette is an important part of our daily life. Learning etiquettes early in life open doors of opportunity which you thought never existed. No matter whatever situation life gives you, you will be well prepared beforehand, you will know how to eat with different spoon and forks, when to excuse yourself, what sort of tone should be used while taking with different person and many more. Others will also feel comfortable in your presence.
