Manners are a set of rules for social behavior that reflect respect, consideration, and kindness towards others. They involve behaviors such as saying “please” and “thank you,” using proper table manners, and respecting personal space. Manners are important because they help create a sense of order and civility in social situations, and show respect for others. They also reflect a person’s upbringing and values, and can play a role in determining how people are perceived by others.
