what does "etiquette" mean?

Answer 1

etiquette: n. The practices and forms prescribed by social convention or by authority.

Answer 2

This is the meaning according to the dictionary, but in simple terms, it means the does and don't's of manners, etc.
"Etiquette, also known as decorum, is the code that governs the expectations of social behavior, the conventional norm. It is an unwritten code, but it may evolve from or into a written code. The Greek equivalent of etiquette was protokollon, protocol, the written formula for ceremonial. It usually reflects a theory of conduct that society or tradition has invested heavily in. Like "culture", it is a word that has gradually grown plural, especially in a multi-ethnic society with many clashing expectations. Thus, it is now possible to refer to "an etiquette" or "a culture", realizing that these may not be universal."

Answer 3

Etiquette refers to socially correct behaviors. Etiquette in the United States may be entirely different than in India or Japan or Europe. These rules apply to dining, conducting business, getting married - anytime one is in public or in a group.

Following a universal set of rules on eating- not being messy or chewing with an open mouth,etc. and also which utensil is appropriate for each course,etc,meeting ppl-shaking hands,bowing,looking into eyes,etc.,appropriate conversation for public or formal settings, treating people as ladies and gentlemen with the respect everyone deserves- if you disagree with someone keep it to yourself and show them only public human decency because if you don't then you aren't percieved as the better person ,never offending ppl in public, appropriate clothing for each situation,clean language,standing when a lady walks into the room or helping with her chair, and many more. Many of our rules of etiquette have been forgotten and need to be revived because not many ppl knows or cares how to show respect.

Answer 5

What a wonderful question. Religion is, of course, the form that one's worship takes. Thus there are thousands of forms. Religion includes a system of religious beliefs and practices. The object of the religion may be false gods or the true God. Hence, there is false religion and there is true. Religion can get very fancy or remain simple. In the former case, such as it is today. In the latter case, such as it was in the Garden of Eden. What then is worship to me? How do I worship? To worship means to obey. And to obey means to worship. The two are intimately connected; indeed, they are coterminous and cannot be separated. Specifically, to obey the Sovereign Lord God Jehovah of Armies is to worship Him. I do my imperfect best in this regard. I fall on my face and get back up to try and try again. In the Garden of Eden, so long as they obeyed Jehovah, Adam and Eve were worshiping him. No temple, no Mosaic Law, no meetings. Simply leave the tree of the knowledge of good and bad alone. Simple. The minute they disobeyed, they stopped worshiping Jehovah. Same with the nation of Israel. The minute they attempted to practice a syncretistic religion they stopped worshiping Jehovah. The minute they made the golden calf, they stopped. And on and on. To worship is to obey. To obey is to worship. Hannah J Paul
