Introduction:

Manners consist of the whole range of behavior. It builds up the personality of a man and tones up his general disposition. Etiquette is one cross-section of manners. There are thus drawing room etiquette, dinner time etiquette, soldierly etiquette and even enemy etiquette, between others. One may be the enemy of another, but that does not mean that the former will hit or strike the latter from behind or below the belt.
Then, there are etiquettes on particular occasions, and a person has to give the best account of himself as the concerned situation demands. This is also known as protocol behavior or simply “protocol”. It shows how a person has to deal with VIPs with Ambassadors, foreign dignitaries, etc. Protocol includes the order of “precedence”, that is, the order of sitting in a ceremonial meeting where VIPs of different categories are attending. ‘Protocol’ also gives the order of sitting for guest at a ceremonial or state dinner or lunch .In official circle, contacts and communications are made through proper channels and designed officials.
In a man, manners and etiquette may merge. Small and particular etiquettes add up to the man’s manners. A man may be sitting in a friend’s drawing room when some lady enters who is unknown to this man. It is customary for him to stand up. He has to stand simply up, not smile; a not utter word of welcome etc .It is for the lady to introduce herself. But it falls under her etiquette to request the standing person to sit down before she disappears into the interior of the house.
