Mannerism/Intellect

[cacian]

Is good manners intellectualism?
And are we better off polishing our manners rather then our looks?
For example rudeness is either a spur of the moment or a condition. The lack of intellect can aggravate conditions such as rudeness.

No. A monkey could be taught manners.

Manners are disciplines and has little to do with intellectualism. Children can learn good manners. Therefore intellectualism and mannerism are two different domains.

Hi blazeglory manners are because we use our thoughts in order to be considerate to others. When we meet people we do not know we think carefully at how we communicate with them in order not to offend them. Intellectualism is part of the thinking process.

Yes. All the monkey's in the wild, that I've seen, don't know their soup spoon from their salad fork and lets not even talk about the finger bowl :cold:.

I think that it's more a case of personality than intellect. The stupidest person can be polite and respectful whilst the most intelligent can be arrogant and ill-mannered. That being said, maybe there's a correlation between being brought up to be polite and being brought up to value education.
