Emerson believed that the primary reason for manners was to facilitate the creation and functioning of a social order. At the same time, he sought to dispel the idea that manners reflect a basic difference among classes in society, noting that lower classes sometimes emulate the mannerisms of their superiors without really understanding the purpose of social graces or manners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 1844\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42095242543239,"sku":"9781646795369","price":7.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/489b056cc82650b6debabcccb0e78f6e.webp?v=1732329401","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/manners-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
