Manners Matter

Etiquette and manners are essential for polite behavior. If you ignore these rules, you might interrupt someone while they are speaking or start to argue with them. When someone is in the wrong, they often make excuses for their bad behavior, but these excuses can be denied.

Imagine a hunter who has entered someone else's land. The hunter has carried his equipment with him, but he has not followed the proper etiquette of asking for permission. Because of his poor manners, he is denied entry to the land. If he tries to argue or make excuses, he will not change the outcome. This shows that being polite and following the rules is essential to avoid conflict.
