In [[sociology]], '''manners''' are the unenforced standards of conduct which show the actor to be [[culture]]d, [[politics|polite]], and refined. They are like [[law]]s in that they codify or set a [[standard]] for [[human]] [[behavior]], but they are unlike laws in that there is no [[formal]] [[system]] for punishing transgressions, other than social disapproval. What is considered "mannerly" is highly susceptible to change with time, geographical location, [[status|social stratum]], occasion, and other factors. That manners matter is evidenced by the [[fact]] that large [[books]] have been written on the subject, advice columns frequently deal with questions of mannerly behavior, and that schools have existed for the sole [[purpose]] of teaching manners.

A lady is a term frequently used for a woman who follows proper manners; the term gentleman is used as a male counterpart; though these terms are also often used for members of a particular [[status|social class]].

Even the work of this world, paramount though it is, is not nearly so important as the way ('''manner''') in which you do this work.
