Family Etiquette May 29, 2013

Class discussion about etiquette in various cultures continues with this insight for Yulia, who comes to PC TECH from Omsk, Russia:

 In Russia we have different rules of etiquette at home, different from those in the USA, I think.  When we come to other people’s houses, we always take our shoes off.  We always do it in the family too, especially when it is dirty outside.

In my family we are always friendly and polite to each other.  We call each other to ask about life and if somebody needs help.  We congratulate one another on birthdays and have some dinners together.

My parents have a summer house and plant many vegetables there.  Usually many Russian people do the same.  And we, with my sister and my niece, always help them there.

I have a niece who is twenty years old.  In my family we always give her good example about etiquette.  I think that in these days and so many young people practice it a lot.

TK write about etiquette in his Thai family:

             Family is the first thing that I get from the world; first learning is from the my family – especially my mother.  My mother taught me many rules of etiquette because good manners can help me survive in life and in society.  Our family’s etiquette is seen when we have dinner together, so I have to wait for my brother every day; my mother said that it is good etiquette.
