Rend the following passnge and answer the questions that follow:
1. Every code of etiquette has contained three clements: basic moral duties:
pretual rules which promote elliciency; and artificial optional graces such as
lornal compliments to say, superiors on their generosity and importance.
2. In the first ontegory consideration for the weak and respect for age. Among the
ancient Egyptians, the young always stood in the presence of older people.
Among the Mpongwe of Tanzani n. the young men bow as they pass the huts of
the elders. In England, until about a century ago, young children did not sit in
thelr parents' presence without taking permission.
3. Pinctical rules are helpful in such ordinary occurrences of social life as making
proper introductions at parties or other incilons so that people can be brought to
know each other. Before the invention of the folk, etiquette directed that the
fingers should be kept as clean as possible; before the handkerchief come into
common use, etiquette suggested that, aller spitting, a person should rub the spit
inconspicuously underfoot.
4. Extremely refined behaviour, however, cultivated as an art of graclous living,
has been a chamcteristic only of societies with wealth and leisure, which
admitted women as the social equals of men.
5. In fourteenth and fillcenth centuries, a wealthy and leisured society developed
an extremely complex code of manners, but the rules of behaviour of fashionable
society had little influence on the daily life of the lower classes. Indeed many of
the rules, such as how to enter a banquet room, or how to use a sword or
handkerchief for ceremonial purposes, were irrelevant to the way of life of the
average working man who spent most of his life outdoors or in his own poor hut
and most probably did not have a handkerchief certainly not a sword, to his
name.
6. Yet the essential basis of all good manners does not vary. Consideration for the
old and the weak and the avoidance of harming or giving unnecessary offence to
others is a feature of all societies everywhere and at all levels from the highest to
the lowest. You can easily think of dozens of examples of customs and habits in
your own daily life which come under this heading.
(2.) On the basis of your rending of the above passnge, make notes using
hendings and subhendings. Use abbreviations, wherever necessary
(minimum 4). Also suggest a suitable title.
(b.) Write a summary of the above passage in about 80 words.
