A Little More on Etiquette June 14, 2013
From our previous blog post, Evgenia describes the importance of etiquette in the Greek family:
Family members sit, all of them, at the table to eat lunch or dinner. They spend the evenings together at home, or they go out. The parents respect their children and the children respect their parents. The former teach the latter how to talk and behave politely. For example, when you are in a small town, talk to the locals. They expect it. Help someone in need; give correct and clear to stranded people; don’t send cigarette smoke towards others’ faces; stop eating when you talk with someone else; cover your mouth while coughing or sneezing; be ever honest, reliable, and don’t lie under any circumstances. Also, give your seat to the elderly; don’t go crazy when waiting in line; don’t push whoever is walking in front of you; don’t point at anyone with your finger. When engaged in conversation, speak calmly, clearly, and give the idea that you have plenty of time. But don’t be wordy.
The above-mentioned mentality and behavior reveals that the relations among family members are strong. In reality, they are really strong and it is clearly shown when a member is admitted to a hospital. The family is there 24/7 and never leave the hospitalized one alone.
The same polite behavior is shown toward the extended family members, friends, workmates, schoolmates, neighbors, acquaintances, bosses, etc.
In conclusion, the rules of etiquette are taught inside the family and are demonstrated throughout society.
