MANNERS - URBANIDAD

 

Educación, modales, urbanidad, parecen palabras y conceptos trasnochados, pasados de moda, cosas de mayores. Sin embargo, en la cultura anglosajona la palabra y el concepto manners, en plural, siguen vigentes. Good manners, urbanidad. Good table manners, buenos modales a la mesa. It´s not good manners to spit in public, no es de buena educación escupir en público.

Good manners mean you will always say:

Please

Thank you

You are welcome

Excuse me

Yes, sir

No, madam

 

Good manners mean that

We will listen to people

We will not interrupt

We will be on time

We will not use offensive language

We will never yawn

We will not stare

We will be humble

We will not be loud

We will return phone calls

We will answer e-mails

We will not harass or bully people

We will respect our elders
