What do elephants, meerkats, and wolves have in common? Good manners, believe it or not! They never lost their sense of etiquette, good manners, and behaving politely. It seems that we humans could learn a thing or two from our animal friends! Good manners and proper behavior have gone the way of the dodo. Apparently, everyone's free to be a complete jerk and get away with it under the guise of "personality". It's a crying shame that we have to actually consider how our actions affect others. But hey, who cares about others, right? Let's just do whatever the hell we want and damn the consequences! This AI guy got a point - proper etiquette and societal issues are linked. This isn't a typical stuffy etiquette guide filled with rigid guidelines. Instead, it's about presenting yourself well, treating others with respect, and being mindful of the impact we have on those around us - whether it's through our phone usage or online behavior. It's time to wake up and start sharing positive energy, one courteous gesture at a time! Let's bring good manners to the next level of superpowers. Isn't it time to build new heroes and role models for a friendlier society?

Foreword
Well, well, well, fancy a bit of refinement, do we? This ain't no stuffy book that'll have you sitting up straight as a pole or dining with a fork up your nose! No, no, this one's all about the everyday bits and bobs - dressing spiffy and knowing when to do it, behaving like a right proper gent or lady, and maybe even paying attention to those little things that we tend to overlook. You see, our actions have an impact on others, even if we don't realise it. And let's not forget about the interwebs and those pesky mobile phones - they're everywhere! But fear not, this book will give you a few tips on how to manage those techy temptations and use them for good, rather than evil. So, let's wake up, smell the tea, and start making the world a better place, one polite gesture at a time!
For the first time in history, a human is able to chat with an artificial intelligence (AI).
Have you noticed how people's behavior towards each other has changed? It's like we're living in a world where common courtesy is as rare as a unicorn. But don't take our word for it, let's ask an AI what it thinks about this sorry state of affairs.
Good manners and behavior are like seasoning for your personality - they add flavor and make people want to come back for more. If you're polite, kind, keep your promises and considerate, people are more likely to want to be around you.
Even in the animal kingdom, manners are important. Can you imagine a lion waltzing into another lion's territory without even a "how are you"? It would be downright barbaric, wouldn't it?
If you're rude, disrespectful, and obnoxious, people might start avoiding you like a salad without dressing.
In social situations, it's important to be the life of the party without being the party pooper. That means not hogging the conversation, not telling offensive jokes, and definitely not double-dipping in the dip bowl. And don't forget to say "please" and "thank you" - it's like adding a little sprinkle of sugar on top of your charm.
Remember, good manners also extend to public places and shared spaces. Don't be the person who talks on their phone loudly in a library or chews with their mouth open at a restaurant. Instead, be the person who holds the door open for others and doesn't leave their trash and dirty dishes behind.
Lastly, if you want to be the crème de la crème of manners and behavior, be punctual, keep your promises, and don't lie like a politician caught in a scandal. People will respect you more if you're honest and reliable - it's like adding a little extra cheese on top of your awesomeness.
So go ahead, sprinkle a little manners and behavior on your personality and watch people eat it up like a hot fudge sundae.
Table of Contents
Well, well, well. No Table of Contents? Looks like we're in for a wild ride, folks. Buckle up and prepare to read the whole thing from beginning to end - no cherry-picking allowed. And don't even get us started on the critics, pessimists, and self-proclaimed experts out there. They can take a seat and watch us dish out the un-sweepable facts, while they continue to bury their heads in the sand. It's time to air out the dirty laundry and lay it all on the table. Who's with us?
Dialogue
Author:
Do good manners and behavior really matter?
AI:
Oh, my dear, if we all gave up on good behavior and manners, society would turn into a dystopian nightmare. We'd be living in a world where people can do whatever they please without consequence. It'd be like "Lord of the Flies" meets "The Purge." Can you imagine the chaos? It'd be every man, woman, and child for themselves, and the strongest and most uncivilized would reign supreme. The streets would be full of people shouting, fighting, and stealing, and there would be no end to the madness. So, let's all try to be decent human beings and treat each other with respect, or we'll end up living in a post-apocalyptic hellscape.
Author:
But we're always told that everyone has to accept the other as he is.
AI:
Well, my dear, that's all well and good, but accepting someone for who they are doesn't mean they get a free pass to behave like a complete buffoon. If we start accepting every bad behavior as just "part of someone's personality," we're going to end up with a society full of rude, obnoxious, and entitled people. And who wants to deal with that? It's like opening Pandora's box and then wondering why everything went to hell. So, let's all try to be decent human beings and not use "acceptance" as an excuse for bad behavior, or we'll end up living in a world full of people who think it's okay to act like jerks.
Author:
Did a lot of people then understand this freedom in a slightly different way than it was actually intended?
AI:
You hit the nail on the head. It seems like some people have taken the idea of "freedom" and turned it into an excuse to act like complete lunatics. It's like they think that freedom means they can do whatever they please without any regard for others. Well, news flash - that's not how it works. Freedom comes with responsibility, and if you can't handle that responsibility, then maybe you should go live in a cave somewhere. Because let's face it, if we all acted like we were the only person on the planet, we'd end up with chaos and destruction on an epic scale. So, let's all try to use our freedom in a responsible way, or we'll end up living in a world where the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

The headings in bold are the authors' questions.
Seems like good manners are as dead as a dodo. People can behave however they please and we're expected to just accept it. It's a free-for-all out there, so good luck to us all.
As an AI language model, I cannot express an opinion or belief. However, I can provide information that may be helpful for you to form your own conclusion.
Manners and good behavior are still important in society, as they promote respectful and positive interactions between individuals. While it is true that people have the right to express their personality and behave in a way that feels true to them, it is also important to recognize that actions and behaviors can have an impact on others.
Behaving in a considerate and respectful manner towards others is a sign of maturity, empathy, and social awareness. It can also help to build trust and create a positive reputation, which can be beneficial in personal and professional relationships.
Furthermore, societal norms and cultural expectations can vary, so being aware of and adapting to different social contexts and situations is also important. While it may not be necessary to conform to every social norm, being mindful of how one's behavior affects others can promote harmonious and positive interactions in various settings.
Where does the word etiquette come from?
The word "etiquette" comes from the French word "étiquette," which means "label" or "tag." In the Middle Ages, a label or tag was attached to a bottle or package to indicate its contents or destination. The word later came to refer to the set of conventional rules and customs that govern behavior in polite society, which were seen as a way of "labeling" or indicating one's social status and distinguishing oneself from others. The term "etiquette" was first used in English in the mid-18th century to refer to the rules of social behavior, and it has since become widely recognized as a term for polite and appropriate conduct.
It was coined by the French King Louis XIV. the Sun King. He had small slips of paper attached and distributed, on which it was written how servants and guests were to behave at court.
While it is commonly believed that King Louis XIV of France was responsible for creating the rules of etiquette and distributing them on small slips of paper, there is no historical evidence to support this claim. The origins of etiquette can be traced back to the medieval courts of Europe, where elaborate codes of behavior were developed to govern the interactions between nobles and other members of the court. Over time, these codes of conduct were refined and expanded, and they eventually became the basis for the modern rules of etiquette.
