    Bad manners we can find it everywhere.

    Unfortunately it is in our character: we love


    to blame others for our mistakes and that we will never assume or to rectify.We see
    daily cases as some people that smoking in public places, people that throw trash on
    public roads, people that spit or urinate on the streets, people that don't give any
    seat even booked on the bus or in the same office we can see the lack of standar,
    people dont use basic words like Thanks, excuse me or please, also we see
    things like borrow things and not only taking them, return things borrowed, ask if it's
    a good time to talk, sort, clean, point out mistakes of others, etc.

    Since very small we began to incorporate behaviors, our parents are who inculcate
    at first good manners, that later go on complementing to ourselves in school and in
    the enviroments where we live. Good manners are sample of education and respect
    toward the other ones.
    Adults are role model for children. The children are reflection of parents, it says in
    popular jargon and psychologists confirm, badly mannered parents badly mannered
    children.

    Observing this, it brings to discussion the subject of manners and the level of
    education that we have Peruvians. Its clear that events of this nature, unfortunately,
    is common in our society.

    We dont put all Peruvians in the same bag, but there are some people think that
    good manners are for people with training. Its important the value of education and
    good manners when we are interacting with another people. For example, in
    provinces of Peru there are some people very educated, people invites you, people
    gives you what you need; people is authentic.

    Good manners are an important thing to learn. Acting appropriately in a way that's
    socially acceptable and respectful, display respect, care, and consideration for
    others. Excellent manners can help you to have better relationships with people you
    know, and who you will meet.

    I don't like to make generalizations but its necessary that Peruvians should return
    their interests to a code of moral conduct. Between the authorities, schools and the
    public should cooperate to impose good manners.

    12 Examples of Good Manners

    1. Be polite to everyone you meet. You will never regret being too polite, but you
    might regret being rude. For example, when you go on a sales call or job interview,
    be courteous to receptionists and assistants as they can affect your chances of
    succeeding.

    2. Use the magic words as often as possible: "Hello," "Please," "Excuse me," "Sorry"
    and these two most important words: "Thank you."

    3. Use good manners in all of your communications. Examples:


    Return telephone and e-mail messages within 24 hours.
    Do not use swear words or vulgar words.
    If you receive a rude message, do not respond with rudeness, but be polite.
    Do not interrupt people.
    Make sure people are ready to listen to you before you start talking.
    Talk less than 50% of the time.

    4. Leave generous tips for food servers, luggage handlers, car valets, hairdressers
    or barbers who do their jobs.

    5. 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 of time. If you are courteous, patient
    and calm, you arrive safely and more relaxed.

    6. 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.

    7. Show your appreciation at every opportunity, even for small things. "Thank you for
    returning my call." "Your advice has been very helpful." "I appreciate your taking the
    time to meet with me."

    8. Arrive on time or early for appointments. When you arrive late, you appear to be
    disrespectful, disorganized or both.

    9. 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.

    10. If someone treats you with bad manners, do not lower yourself to the same level.
    Smooth out the friction with your best manners. For example, "I'm sure you have a
    good reason to swear at me, but I think we can work this out so we're both happy.
    Can you take a minute and try?"

    11. Before starting important conversations, meals or meetings, turn off your cell
    phone. Ignoring people while you use your cell phone is disrespectful. You can
    probably leave your cell phone off for hours with no lasting harm.

    12. Do not try to show off or prove you are more important than others. This is called
    "one-upmanship" and is poor manners. For example, a friend is excited about
    meeting an important scientist. You immediately "top" him and tell about the time
    when you met a much more important scientist. Instead, share your friend's
    excitement without bringing up your own story.

    As you improve your manners, you will enjoy more support, admiration and respect
    from everyone around you.
