For some, not all, good manners can be infectious because good manners in the right places polish the person's personality and rounds out their character. Just because some people may lead a life that is more laid back and they are not into high social events where manners are most expected doesn't mean that person is a lesser individual.
The purpose of manners is to make social interactions work more smoothly. When things go more smoothly, it increases the likelihood that people will consider the needs of others in addition to their own. Therefore, one person showing consideration for others can have a beneficial effect on everyone. However, manners are learned behavior, and it is unlikely that exposure to good manners will make a boorish person more mannerly unless that person truly wants to learn and change.

∙ 14y agoThe word infectious has a negative connotation that many persons may disagree with. But by definition and metaphor, yes, they are.
When a person is treated well, their mood is raised, and a better mood allows a person to make better judgements, to make more sacrifice for others, and generally, people are nicer when in a better mood (they are less easily frustrated or annoyed.) So when people treat others nicely, those others are more able, as well as more incited, to act well.

What is good manners?
The basic idea behind good manners is to think about what might annoy or disturb other people and not to do it. It also helps to think about how you could help someone and to offer to do that. All rules of manners boil down to these two objectives. If you keep them in mind, you should stay on the right side of most people. Sometimes you have to balance them. If you offer to help someone who has already told you that they don't want it, you may annoy them, so offering to help is not good manners in that case.
