Why Manners Still Matter: From 1920s Rules to Digital Etiquette
Is etiquette a tool for exclusion, or the secret to social harmony? Join me as we journey through 100 years of American and English manners—from the rigid social blueprints of the 1920s to the digital etiquette of today.In this episode of "The Art of Living Among Others" series, we dive into the fascinating evolution of British and American etiquette. We explore three iconic voices: the "architecture" of Emily Post, the "inner work" of Eleanor Roosevelt, and the witty, modern reclamation of manners by William Hanson. Whether you're curious about the history of social graces or looking for practical advice on navigating modern life, this deep dive reveals what courtesy actually says about the societies we build.What you’ll learn in this episode:- The surprising "scandalous" history of Emily Post and her vision of "Best Society."- Why Eleanor Roosevelt believed manners were a form of psychological character building.- How William Hanson (the "clinking glasses" guy) is making etiquette relevant for the Instagram age.- The key cultural differences between UK and US social standards.Connect with the Series: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a comment below!
