Manners Maketh the Man

Set yourself apart from the crowd

On and off-screen, notice the men and women who appear suave and sophisticated. Now think of the cultured and regal people whom you may admire. They have multiple worthy traits beyond mere looks. Though often looks and mannerisms draw us toward them.

First Impressions Count

They dress and act with class. The well mannered are civil. Manners matter, as does civil demeanor. The ability to treat everyone and anyone with courtesy and respect is characteristic of being well mannered.

Many acquaint the British with classic culture, manners, and knowledge of etiquette. Should this be true, and I could see this as true, it could be because of Great Britain being synonymous with a crossroads in the world. What do I mean by this?

We know the British for being very easygoing and often apologetic in their mannerisms. Not that they are forgiving to a fault — they are being polite. My belief is it became common practice there for the many cultures with whom they interact regularly. With the many cultures and peoples which travel through the United Kingdom because of their colonizing and trade history, I imagine it would be difficult to remember the many customs and taboos of many societies. I could be wrong.
