Talk:Manners

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

People have written huge books about manners (Emily Post and Miss Manners). Surely there's enough content for an article?

[edit] Expansion Request

This article should be expanded. Some suggestion for possible areas to cover include:

• Table Manners
• Differences in what constitutes proper manners in different parts of the world such as Western societies, Middle East, Asia, etc.
• Changes in what constitutes good manners throughout history. Increasingly laxity in following certain traditional good manners such as "No elbows on the table" or "Not wearing a hat indoors".
• Famous newspaper Columns and authors devoted to proper manners such as Miss Manners.

[edit] Last paragraph

The last paragraph reads like it was written by Miss Manners--perchance was it cribbed from one of her books or columns? Even if not a copyvio; the tone of the paragraph isn't very encyclopedic. --EngineerScotty 05:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
