Importance of Good Manners
Manners make a Man

A person with good manners is someone who is considerate and respectful
to others. Others appreciate such a guy, and he is respectful of his
superiors, courteous to his peers, and empathetic to his subordinates. He is
always concerned and frequently considers the well-being and comfort of
others.
Examples of Good Manners
 As you improve your manners, you will enjoy more support, admiration,
and respect from everyone around you.
 Use the magic words as often as possible: “Hello”, “Please”, “Excuse Me”,
and these two most important words; “Thank you.”
 If you receive a rude message, do not respond with rudeness, but be polite
 Leave generous tips for food servers, luggage handlers, car valets,
hairdressers, or barbers who do their jobs.
 Use good manners as a driver. Weaving in and out of heavy traffic and
cutting in front of other cars only gains you a few seconds. If you are
courteous, patient, and calm, you arrive safely and more relaxed.
Do not blow your nose, use toothpicks, or perform other bodily activities in
front of guests or people you respect. Never smoke around a non-smoker.
Arrive on time or early for appointments. When you arrive late, you appear to
be disrespectful, disorganized, or both
A good sense of humor is good manners. However, jokes about race, disability,
or sex are bad manners. Tell clean jokes about yourself or pass on humorous
stories that anyone would enjoy.
Do not try to show off or prove you are more important than others. This is
called “one-upmanship” and is poor manners.
• If someone treats you with bad manners, do not lower yourself to the same
level. Smooth out the friction with your best manners

small quiet voice; your spirit (God).

grateful.

Moral, Ethics, Character,

Virtue, Values and the
Valuing Process
Moral
-are the accepted norms of conduct that allow individuals to work
together in organizations. What cultures sanction as right and acceptable is
referred to as moral.
Morality
is concerned with how we conduct ourselves. It aids us in distinguishing between right and bad.
We may do what is right and avoid what is wrong once we understand the difference between
the two.
“An immoral person

knows the difference between right and wrong and chooses to do what is wrong.”
“A moral person
knows the difference between right and wrong and chooses to do what is right.”
“An amoral person
has no regard for any standards of right or wrong, and just does what he/she
likes.”
Moral Behavior can depend on:
The Consequences
Their Emotions
The Situation
Laws and Rules
Authority
Common Practice
Their Conscience
Making Moral Decisions
 Check the facts

-Many problems disappear upon closer examination of the situation, while others change
radically.
• For example, persons involved, laws, professional codes, other practical constraints
 Develop a list of options
-Be imaginative, try to avoid "dilemma"; not "yes" or" no" but
whom to go to, what to say.
 Evaluate the consequences of the options
 Reflect and pray
 Decide what will you do
Morality Matters
o You could not have close friends if you lied constantly and stole from them.
o Families would not function if the parents simply ignored their children.
o Society would totally collapse if people ignored their duties towards others.
