1 answer
The primary aim of etiquette classes in centuries ago was to teach individuals how to be polite and exhibit proper social behavior in upper-class society. These classes focused on teaching manners, proper speech and language, table etiquette, appropriate dress and grooming, and general rules of conduct in social interactions. The emphasis was on presenting oneself with grace, elegance, and courtesy in high society settings, enhancing one's social status and reputation. While elements of conflict resolution and ethical behavior may have been addressed indirectly, they were not the main focus of these classes.
