The art of etiquette in words

In general, etiquette revolves around self-respect, respect for others and good dealing with them. It reflects behavioral and social etiquette, tact and the art of dealing with situations, and its reference is the human culture that does not differ from one country to another.
Also, the benign behavior that we always follow brings positive results in any situation, especially in the so-called art of speech….

1- The age factor:
The speaker must take into account the age of the speaker he is sitting with. If the person is older than you, you must give him the opportunity to speak first and not interrupt him. Also, the topics must be selected according to the age of the speaker, because each age has its own peculiarities.

2- tone of voice:
It is very important in the art of etiquette to choose the appropriate tone of voice while avoiding as much as possible the loud sound because it gives a bad impression on the person, especially laughing out loud is not acceptable in the art of etiquette.

3- Talking at the dining table while eating:
Not to engage in sharp discussions, but rather to talk about interesting topics, while avoiding talking while eating, or at least placing a hand over the mouth while talking.
