Chapter 12 - Socially appropriate behaviors
Chapter 12 is about seeking compliance in an interpersonal relationship. One topic discussed is socially appropriate behaviors. Social appropriate behavior are mannerly, courteous and respectful behaviors such as being polite. I believe we all have a certain behavior pattern that is masked when we are in the privacy of our own home. When in public, we behave in a manner that is polite and respectful of others in order to be liked. When we are in our homes, we may still be polite around people in the home, but there is still a difference in the mannerisms. We are multifaced where we have different mannerisms for different circumstances, at least my opinion. I know I sure am this way........unless im an odd ball :)

I can totally agree with you! My family has the same thing. We act totally different when we are in the privacy of our own home but when we are in public we act the "ideal" way. We act with pride and with manners when in public but at home I think it is because we are so comfortable at home we just act how we want. Nothing really bad but we just do not do the whole shebang when at home. The ideal way is to be punctual and have manners when the actual way is that we want to have fun more than we want to be polite.
