Are manners important in England?


Yes, the british people is reknown for their good manners. The good manners do not come naturally, they have to be learnt. If children were not told and shown how to behave politely they will grow up rough and rude like savages. Manners are something used every day to make a good impression on others and to feel good about one self. Being polite and courteous means considering how others are feeling- We are also setting standards for other’s behaviour and encouraging them to treat us with similar respect. “Treat others the way you want them to treat you” Good manners are very important as they teach us the way to behave in society.

In Colombia the Politeness, proper behavior, good manners and courtesy are valued, some advice:
o Never put your feet on furniture in a hotel, office or home
o Yawning is impolite and viewed as a sign of hunger or sleepiness
o Always cover your mouth when yawning.
o It is considered demeaning to beckon someone with your index finger
o Instead, beckon with your palm down, waving your fingers or your whole hand.
o Smiling is very important
