Etiquette has some unique characteristics, mainly in what aspects?

The characteristics of etiquette are mainly manifested in three points:

1. Sociality: Etiquette is the knowledge of social communication, which comes from social life and is recognized and universally observed by the whole society.

2. Difference: different regions, different nationalities and different cultural backgrounds. In addition to the same-sex characteristics, etiquette also has the characteristics of all ethnic groups in the region, which forms the differences in etiquette expression. For example, there is a gesture in which the thumb and forefinger form a circle and the other fingers extend to indicate "OK". This gesture means "approval" and "greatness" in America, but in Brazil, it accuses others of misbehavior. Therefore, in addition to certain fixed forms and norms, etiquette should also pay attention to "do as the Romans do", which varies from time to time and from place to place.

3. Development: etiquette norms are not static. With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, they constantly bring forth the old and bring forth the new on the basis of tradition, reflecting the requirements and spirit of the times. For example, in our country, shaking hands instead of bowing, bowing instead of bowing. Now, on holidays, we call relatives and friends, send short messages, or send ceremonial flowers to express congratulations and greetings, all of which reflect the developmental characteristics of etiquette.
