I think it's ultimately about avoiding conflict. If you all abide by certain rules as to behaviour, you are less likely to get into arguments that could damage society. That's what etiquette is really about, so it's more important than just being polite.

Not only that, also means how well your family brought you up. It's like, say, how "proper" your family is. Also, this means how civilized the citizens of that country are. That's why it's being taught in school. Reputation of one's country, reputation of one's family.

Sometimes, but I look at etiquette as a way to keep the drama out of my life. also, I try to understand how to avoid awkward situations. I wish more people took etiquette classes!

Yes, so long as one exercises common sense and does not expect the same in return from all individuals.

Its a way of interacting with others in a civilized society so that we all get along. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Works quite well, actually.
