Etiquette makes one a cultured individual who leaves his mark wherever he or she goes as it guides an individual who is considered responsible on how to behave in the society. Etiquette teaches us the way we should talk, address people, walk, eat and and most importantly how to behaviours wherever we find ourselves but most of us have abandoned and ignored the etiquette rules thinking it is not of benefit not knowing that it is very essential for an everlasting first impression.  some examples of etiquette are:
