Man and Society

Social Etiquette

• Living in a society requires following certain rules of behaviour.
•  If we want to be accepted by the society we live in, we should know these rules and try to follow them. 

Social Etiquette

• Different rules are followed at home, at work, or at social events, such as dinners.
  
• These rules and conventions concern appearance (how to dress for a particular occasion) and behaviour (greetings, addressing people or topics of conversation).
  

What rules do you 

follow at home,

at school/work and

 at social events?

What is the role of parents and teachers in modern societies?

Loss of manners: cause and effect

• Children are educated by the media.
•  Cartoon characters, movies, games and music are often rude and violent. 
• Different pseudo-idols from various reality shows influence young people's values (Only people who look good and have a lot of money are considered successful)

Loss of manners: cause and effect

• Huge differences between how children are raised nowadays and how our parents and grandparents were raised has led to big generation gaps.  
• Breaking morals leads to ignorance, carelessness, misunderstandings, unnecessary arguments and conflicts with both people and the law.

Crime and Justice

Name as many crimes as you know

What kind of punishment can criminals get for mentioned crimes.

Causes of crime

• Poverty can play a part, as can social inequality, and of course negative emotions such as greed, envy, jealousy, and anger.
• The influence of our families and of the environment we are born into also shapes, amongst other things, our concepts of what is right and wrong and what is acceptable and what is not.

Causes of crime 

• Crime can also occur due to addiction to alcohol and other drugs. 
• Sometimes, crime may even be committed simply for enjoyment as can be the case for crimes such as vandalism, shoplifting and joyriding. 

Have you ever broken any rule? If yes, what was it?
