Across cultures and within cultures we judge one another based on our behaviour. Whether it be through eating, entertaining, appearance, posture or even a handshake, others will judge your education, background and intelligence.

Social etiquette in the real world is not about learning to curtsey (unless you have a Royal appointment), rather it is about improving your social graces to be the best version of yourself in any situation and having a sensitive awareness of others. Learning how to correctly use one's napkin is of course important, however what is important is learning to adapt your manners and be able to interact at any point of time or situation, to have a precise understanding of the effect of your actions upon others who may be of different cultures.
