Description
There is an etiquette for most areas in life–bathroom etiquette, restaurant and dining etiquette, in person/virtual meeting etiquette, business etiquette, the list goes on and on. Social etiquette is also a part of that category and is one of the most important etiquettes as it informs an individual about the norms and behavior that society considers acceptable. There is research that has been done on social etiquette. There have been studies done, books written, and different interpretations of the definition for it. Despite this topic being increasingly relevant, relatable and modern transferable skills are not always conveyed in current research and self improvement books— given its emphasis on interviews, email structure, and “how to carry yourself”. While these tips are important as well, we would like shift the focus toward simplifying the interactions that should be common knowledge but sometimes turns out not to be given the exceedingly diverse cultural landscape of the college population. Here we touch on the broad topic of social etiquette for college students in a book sharing communicative experiences, displaying real life college student input, and providing advice to avoid or successfully handle social conflict.
Students coming together from different places both domestically and internationally means concentrating a copious amount of diversity within the campus(es) bounds. Connecting students from all over means everyone has grown up with different guardianships, boundaries and living situations. This unique melting pot or “Campus Kaleidoscope” means that everyone has developed different ways to communicate with others. This attracts a lot of opportunities for unsuccessful and/or successful communicative experiences.
Our goal is to combine social etiquette and the college student setting into a short (5-chapter), digestible (common language) book for the college community using an attention grabbing approach (including memes, comic scenarios, and asking questions) as the current state media is fast-paced and revolves on convenience. In addition, allowing readers to look deeper into the importance of self-awareness and significance in catering properly to different people with various boundaries. Lastly, providing solutions to facilitate the process of communication among heterogeneous individuals.
