Blog 4 Ethics and Etiquette

Ethics are moral principles that make someone's choices in life. Ethics differ widely from society to society for example people in New York don't have the same morals as people in Texas. Ethics and morals are similar in a way that they help you decide right from wrong. Some synonyms are: Honest, proper, fair, right-minded. The problem isn't with ethics its self it is when people have bad ethics or don't understand and accept other's ethics.

Etiquette is the rules indicating a proper and polite way to act. For instance if you are at dinner and someone is seen burping, touching people with a fork, and taking their shirt off when they get full, this is seen as very disrespectful and therefore this person has no etiquette. Etiquette's rules differ a little bit in the U.S. and a lot around the world, in 'America we have similar customs and culture's therefore we have similar etiquette. Synonyms for etiquette are rules, custom, and courtesy. The problem with etiquette is that the rules for it aren't always displayed and some people don't understand all the rules.

A place where etiquette is needed is at a fancy, formal dinner; perhaps a date and you will need to be respectful. It is very important to follow proper ethics and etiquette in this setting in order to fit in and make an impression of yourself on others.
