john: what is the difference between good manners and bad manners ?every culture society and class has different ideas about what constitutes good manners in Victorian England for example, people’s behavior and manners were government by very strict rules . things have changed very much since then . most people live in multi –culture societies now . so there are not so many hard and fast rules about manners any more however .

most people still appreciate others who are polite and considerate , and cand people almost automatically display good manners basic good manners means offering respect to people who are older than you being courteous and welcoming to strangers and not putting yourself first . to mention a few concrete examples:

 

 do not push though a door first ,but standing aside for others offer you seat on the bus or train to an older  person without a seat explain the way to a stranger that is obviously lost;

 do not call someone older that you by their first name when they have not given you permission to do so  another guideline for good manners is not to behave in a way that would make other people uncomfortable.
