Etiquette is the rules and conventions governing correct or polite behavior used in society in a particular social or professional group setting. Many use etiquette to identify social class, economic level and education. In 1922 Emily Post published her book, “Etiquette in Society, In Business, In Politics and At Home”. The rules governing this book became society’s standard.
So how does etiquette impart diversity and inclusion? The speaker will candidly explain how food and etiquette are infused with cultural meaning and history. She will further extricate how being considerate, respectful, honest and inclusive is more important than knowing which fork to use.
