Good etiquette isn't formed in a particular type of household or with one version of parenting. Having good etiquette skills isn't a product of any particular background, class, identity, or religion. No. Etiquette can be learned and employed by anyone, at any stage in life, and is a choice that is available to all of us.

We might think we know what these words meanwe certainly hear them enoughbut viewing them through the lens of etiquette allows us to see that, together, they guide us toward good behavior (or, at least, give us a shot at it). CONSIDERATION With regard to etiquette, consideration is thinking about others, as well as yourself, before acting. It's about cultivating an awareness of the people, places, and things around us and our impact on them. Through consideration we show our sympathy and/or empathy for others by exploring how a particular action might affect them. We aren't necessarily making a judgment about a situation, just recognizing the people involved and the impact it may create. RESPECT As human beings we deserve regard for our feelings, rights, abilities, perspectives, and traditions. By recognizing this, we can see when our actions or words impact someone positively (upholding respect for them) or negatively (disrespecting them). By following the principle of respect, we honor others, not necessarily because of any special talents, qualities, or ideas they may have, or because we like or understand them, but simply because they exist. Respect builds on consideration by encouraging us to understand how the actions we are weighing impact others. By choosing to show respect for others, ourselves, and the world we live in, we make choices based on our potential impact, and when we choose actions that posit...

While it can be fun to daydream about throwing elaborate parties, good etiquette is, at its core, about treating everyone we encounter well. You don’t need money, power, a “higher” education,…
