Funny answers

The funny side of the answers to the question about the meaning of 'manners and mores' made by students:

'For me good manners are something a man came up with quite recently. They are important but they shouldn't be overestimated.'

'For me good manners are exhibited during elegant receptions, where one has to demonstrate good behaviour while talking to others or having a meal- here proper use of cutlery or not making various sounds while eating, such a champing noisily, burping or even letting gases.'

'For me manners and mores are the basic knowledge everyone should have.'

'In my opinion every person should have good manners and know the mores. However, a lot of people just don't care about it, especially young people, who with their behaviour show they don't perform an ounce of civilised actions.'

'Good manners and mores don't ridicule us in the public environment, they put a smile on the faces of women and make other people take us seriously.'

'Mores are habits and special skills which some individuals have, and other people don't.

'Manners are those situations in which we react mechanically. We are taught this from our childhood.'
