Etiquette

In today’s world, it is much easier to send an email to a guy in another room as opposed to getting up, walking over, and talking face to face. We are certainly a simple solution type of society these days, and it is most certainly more simple to send an email, for example, criticizing someone for their work ethic, latest project, etc... rather than to call them in and talk face to face.


Personally, I think that face to face communication is undervalued in today’s world. I think that very few emails, letters, or anything can show the true emotion in a message to someone like face to face communication.

However, I do think that email is still a very important part of life in today’s world, as well as letters. That’s not really the point though. The point is that no matter what it is, we should try to be as proper as we possibly can when sending a message to another person. We should try and do as many things as possible to squeeze are emotions into words on paper or on the internet. A quote from a website with no author says, “It is important that whether for business or personal use that you follow the basics of email etiquette.”


In conclusion, I do think that it is extremely important to use proper etiquette in things such as email, but I also think that it wouldn’t hurt us to get back to some old fashioned face to face conversations either.
