Business Etiquette Presence
In the realm of business etiquette, specific rules stand firm and should not be disregarded. While some may seem like common sense, it's surprising how easy it is to make mistakes inadvertently. Despite the rise of a more casual startup culture in recent years, characterized by open floor plans, unconventional office furniture, and relaxed dress codes, the perception that business etiquette is outdated is premature.
Implicit professional and social conduct rules persist in many companies, even within the evolving landscape of the modern workplace.

However, there are still rules that must be applied when dining at the table.

Youth Etiquette
When most parents think about teaching manners, they envision telling a preschooler to say 'please' and 'thank you.' But, good manners goes far beyond those words and it's important to make sure you're teaching your child good manners into the teen years.
Unfortunately, in the digital age, many teens aren't learning basic social skills, like cellphone etiquette. And there are many manners teens often forget even though they've learned them in the past. Sometimes, teens go through phases where they want to look cool and manners go out the window. At other times, they get a little sloppy and forget to be polite.
Raising a kind and caring teen who uses good manners could be very beneficial to their future. Teens with good manners will command more respect, which could help them socially and academically.
