Etiquette we may say are certain rules of social interaction.Etiquettes differ according to different cultures, but here I would not go into the depth but would like to talk about it in general.
There etiquettes for everything like talking, eating, using cell phones, interacting with people, neighbours, conversing with other individulas, children etc. Whatever the etiquettes it's my observation that people nowadays don't practice them nor even try to practice them.I would like to dicuss these etiquettes one by one in detail & how people misuse them.
1) Cell Phones:-
I would start with cell phones as these are the most commonly handled gadget.There are certain rules to be followed while using them.Talking on or texting and e-mailing from your cell phone in certain places & certain times is appropriate,irritating and rude. But you find many people misusing them. You will see people in public places shouting their lungs out on their cell phones unaware or ignoring the stares of the people who are getting disturbed around them.
Similarly nowadays you will get to see youngsters busy chatting or messaging on their cells without a care of what is going around them even if they are sitting with their family or at a social or family gathering.This looks akward.
You may even find in the middle of a jammat at the mosque the music ringtone of someone's cell phone ringing. Like come on, you are here to pray, connect to your ALLAH. Atleast leave this worldly thing off here......
Similarly you may see almost every other person driving a car busy talking on his cell phone. If you don't care about your life at least think about others. Just think of the danger & loss you may cause to yourself & others.
I would just like to request these people to please try to follow the etiquettes. It will not harm you nor make you small. Instead will save you from a lot of trouble.
Very true......
