But, the author is convinced that if etiquette was freely accessible to everyone, it will not only change the children’s attitude, but the course of humanity. “Just imagine living in a world where everyone is honest, respectful and considerate, there would be no hatred, racism or wars. Changing the world starts with raising well-mannered children.” The author argues.

The author defines etiquette as the decent and acceptable behavior that distinguishes human beings. It is simply the combination of principles and manners. Principles are the fundamental values set by people such as consideration, respect, and honesty, while manners are a set of conventional rules of personal behavior in polite society, which implies to each country and culture. In short, it is a code of polite and ethical conduct. This code delineates the accepted and expected social behaviors that accord with the norms and conventions observed by a society, a social class, or a social group. Manners are how things are done or should happen, they are time-sensitive and vary between cultures, while principles are timeless and can cross cultural boundaries. Thus, it is important to be polite and kind, always. And, it is a must to behave reasonably, responsibly and appropriately.

Hammadi brings her wisdom to remind teenagers that rules are meant to be broken and lines are meant to be stepped over. Manners will last and never be broken like rules if they’re lived as a lifestyle.

Manners don’t work if someone is pretending, forcing them, or following rules. It is important to not get confused by fake etiquette. Socially and morally acceptable deeds depend on everyone’s perspective.

“Old habits die hard.” Habits get harder to implement or change the older you get. So, the earlier, the better, because we all know that the best predictor of future behavior is relevant past behavior.
