Etiquette

Up to a period in time it was regarded as very impolite when a man didn't open a car door for a woman or pushed her chair in at a restaurant. Following Western culture there was a certain protocol that was followed in public and even when a man and woman were together alone. Certain things were regarded as part of a man's moral obligation like opening a car door for a woman. It was seen as indecorous and even rude if a man didn't comply with that duty. The emphasis was on respect and showing respect through a definite manner and method of doings things. Men were men and women were women and each had their diverse and unique role in society. Men left women to do what they did best and the other way around. They were no threat to each other and honored the differences between them through this dignified method of communication. This book is dedicated to etiquette. Perhaps just maybe we can save good old manners from extinction.
