In simple words, etiquette is good behaviour which makes a human being different from animals.

Etiquette or appropriate behaviour is really important because human being is a social animal.

A man has good etiquette if he behaves in a socially responsible way.

The idea of etiquette finds its origins among the nobles in early modern France.

In fact, the word etiquette itself is derived from the French word for ticket or label, which means these rules were printed and used as labels for good manners.

One of the most notable contributions to the literature of etiquette is Emily Post's book Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home published in 1922.
