What is Etiquette-Manner
　☆　Basic personalities　『Self-centered』 『Sympathetic』
　☆　Origin

※　At the time of Louis the XIV in Versailles, commoners and sorts needed permission to enter the palace. It was in a form of a certain permit called 'etiquette'.

※　Then, there was the Rose Garden of Versailles, which was widely adored by the people. Until one day, an inconsiderate person trampled upon the roses. A young man put up a note that said, 'Please don't trample on the garden of my heart'. The putting up of this sign was called, “etiquette”.
　　⇒　Do not enter someone's house with your shoes on, at least knock beforehand.
　　　Etiquette (French) -> Ticket (English) -> Kippu [ticket], Ken [token,ticket] (Japanese)
　　　
　　　Manner＋ISM→Mannerism

☆　Etiquette is a way to attempt pleasant communication with others(to avoid annoying other people)
