What are the skills values goals and influence as to how to act in particular situations according to social etiquette and should an individuals personality dictate naturally their etiquette?

Answer 1

* All individuals of the human race are basically chameleons. They change according to the particular situation they are in. Example: They will be laid back when around people they know, but if they should have to go to a business meeting their demeanor will change and they are all business. Nature can take over regarding the person's personality and they can either go by 'gut instinct'; listening and watching others (if you don't know what someone is talking about then listen and learn and don't say anything) or, go on the internet and learn the different traditional etiquette required in society. During these modern times it appears that most people are more laid back, but it's always wise to learn etiquette because you may have to use them one day. It's fine to ask someone what etiquette is regarding a certain situation instead of not saying anything. When attending anything to do with another culture just watch what they do and there is generally someone there that will help you navigate. Most cultures are very caring and will often 'take you under their wing.' Example: Going to an Asian funeral. Watch what others do and generally there is someone there that will be of assistance. If an individual should make a mistake in etiquette of another culture it is accepted and over-looked.
