“Humans are social beings who need to follow specific rules of social interactions to facilitate interpersonal relationships. Social etiquette need to be followed in social situations to be respectful and courteous towards everyone present. This also extends to interactions with friends, family, and relatives. While social etiquette reduces conflict and promotes harmony, it also influences how others perceive you. You will leave behind a lasting impression on the other people, establishing a

sense of trust and reliance, and in return, you are treated well and earn their trust.”
